Dell 400-ALUF 1.8TB SAS 10K Drive

This Dell 400-ALUF is a 1.8TB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. It is built for Dell servers and storage arrays that require hot-swap capability. The bare-drive unit delivers high-throughput mechanical storage for enterprise workloads.

Suits SAS bays needing 10K speed.

This drive fits administrators who need 10K rotational speed on a SAS 12Gb/s interface and hot-swap tray support. It is not for buyers who require solid-state latency or a different interface than SAS. Capacity is fixed at 1.8TB, so those needing larger single volumes must look elsewhere.

1.8TB capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 1.8TB capacity combined with the SAS 12Gb/s interface and 2.5-inch form factor. Verify the storage array accepts this exact capacity and interface before purchase. The 10,000 RPM spindle speed and hot-swap tray are fixed attributes of this part.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 1.8TB SAS drive is running at 10000 RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported speed in your RAID controller BIOS or system monitoring tool; it should show 10000 RPM and a 12Gb/s link rate.

What comes with the bare drive and what must I source separately?

The package contains only the 2.5" SAS hard drive itself; you will need a compatible hot-swap tray or caddy, SAS data and power cables, and a controller that supports 12Gb/s SAS.

Should I choose the 1.8TB or 1.2TB version for a Dell server?

Select the 1.8TB model (part 400-ALUF) for maximum capacity; the 1.2TB variant is a different part number and offers less storage.
