Dell 400-AKMR 1.2TB 10K SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AKMR is a 1.2TB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require high-speed enterprise storage in a hot-swap form factor. The drive ships as a bare unit with Dell part number 400-AKMR.

Suits SAS bays needing 10K performance

This drive fits 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap bays in Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible enclosures that support 12Gb/s SAS signalling. It is not suitable for systems that only accept 3.5 inch drives or for workloads that demand solid-state latency. Buyers needing larger capacities should consider higher-capacity SAS models.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface; the host backplane and controller must support this speed and the SAS protocol to recognise the drive. Verify the server or enclosure documentation for 2.5 inch hot-swap SAS 12Gb/s support before purchase.

Questions about this item

What is the sustained transfer limit of the 12Gb/s SAS interface on this 1.2TB drive?

The SAS interface supports a 12Gb/s transfer rate, which sets the maximum sustained throughput for the 1.2TB capacity.

How much noise and heat does the 10000 RPM mechanism generate during continuous operation?

The 10000 RPM spindle produces typical enterprise-level acoustics and heat output for a 2.5" SAS drive under constant load.

Which controller or backplane is required to use the hot-swap SAS tray?

A SAS controller or backplane with 12Gb/s SAS support and a 2.5" hot-swap bay is needed to install the 400-AKMR drive.
