Dell 400-AOWP 600GB SAS 12Gb/s Drive

The Dell 400-AOWP is a 600GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop systems. It operates at 10,000 RPM and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The bare drive arrives without retail packaging, ready for installation in compatible bays. This combination of capacity and spindle speed targets workloads that demand quick sequential access.

Suits SAS-equipped desktops needing 10k RPM storage

This drive fits desktops with an available SAS 12Gb/s controller and a 2.5-inch drive bay. The 600GB capacity and 10,000 RPM rotation suit operating system volumes, database files or scratch disks where low latency matters. Builders whose motherboards lack native SAS support or who require larger capacities for bulk media should consider other options. The bare-drive packaging also means no cables or mounting brackets are included.

SAS 12Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. Only systems with a compatible SAS host bus adapter or onboard SAS port can communicate with this drive. Verify the controller supports 12Gb/s signalling and that the chassis provides a 2.5-inch SAS bay before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 10000 RPM SAS 12Gb/s drive is performing correctly after installation?

Check the BIOS or RAID controller to confirm the 400-AOWP is detected at 12Gb/s link speed and shows 600GB capacity. Run the Dell diagnostics or smartctl to verify zero reallocated sectors and normal seek times.

The box says Bare Drive — what exactly ships and what cables or brackets must I source separately?

You receive the 2.5" drive only in anti-static packaging. No SAS data cable, power adapter, or 3.5" mounting bracket is included; obtain those from your server or enclosure vendor.

My chassis only takes 2.5" bays — is the 400-AOWP the right 600GB 10000 RPM SAS model for that form factor?

Yes. The 400-AOWP is a 2.5" form-factor drive with 600GB capacity, 10000 RPM spindle speed, and SAS 12Gb/s interface, matching bays that accept 2.5" SAS devices.
