Dell 400-AKLY SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 400-AKLY is a 300GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that require a SAS interface. Its 10000 RPM spindle speed supports workloads needing faster sequential access than typical nearline drives provide.

Hot-Swap Tray Included

The drive ships in a hot-swap tray so it can be inserted or removed from a compatible bay without powering down the chassis. This reduces service time during drive replacements or capacity upgrades in RAID configurations.

SAS 3Gb/s Interface Limit

Although the product highlights a 12Gb/s transfer rate, the specification lists a SAS 3Gb/s interface and 3Gb/s average latency. The practical throughput will therefore be capped at the 3Gb/s link speed when installed in a 3Gb/s backplane or controller.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5 inch SAS drive need a tray or bracket for hot swap replacement?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit without a tray; you will need the correct Dell hot swap tray or caddy for your server or enclosure to install and replace it.

What throughput limit appears first when the 10000 RPM drive runs sustained workloads?

The SAS interface caps at 12Gb/s, so sustained sequential transfers cannot exceed that bandwidth even though the platters spin at 10000 RPM.

How much heat and noise does the 300GB 10K SAS drive produce during all day operation?

A 10000 RPM 2.5 inch SAS drive generates noticeable heat and audible seek noise under continuous use; plan for adequate airflow in the drive bay.
