Dell 10TB 3.5" SAS Enterprise Drive

This Dell 400-ANVM is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It provides 10TB of capacity on a Near Line SAS interface rated at 12Gb/s. The drive spins at 7200 RPM and uses a 512e disk format with a 128MB buffer. It is supplied as a bare drive with hot-plug capability.

Suited for capacity-focused servers and arrays

The drive fits servers and storage systems that accept 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS drives and need large sequential throughput. It is not for buyers who require 2.5-inch form factors or 10K RPM spindle speeds. It is also not for environments limited to the older 3Gb/s SAS standard. VMware users should note that 512e drives are not supported on that platform.

The 512e format decides OS compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 512e sector format. Operating systems must support this emulation mode; Windows Server 2008 R2 or later and supported Linux kernels are required. Older operating systems or hypervisors that lack 512e support will not recognise the volume.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 10 TB 3.5" model or the 1.2 TB 2.5" alternative?

Choose the 10 TB 3.5" drive when you need maximum capacity for enterprise storage arrays. The 1.2 TB 2.5" unit runs at 10K RPM for higher IOPS but stores far less data.

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed deliver in a live server?

The 7200 RPM rotation provides fast sequential throughput for bulk data workloads such as backup, archiving and media repositories, while the 128 MB buffer smooths burst transfers.

The drive lists a 12 Gb/s SAS interface — what does that cap in practice?

The Near Line SAS 12 Gb/s link sets the peak host transfer ceiling; sustained rates will be lower and limited by the 7200 RPM mechanics and the 512e format.
