Dell 400-ASSV 600GB SAS 15K Drive

This Dell 400-ASSV is a 600GB 2.5" SAS hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 12Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require hot-swap capability and high transactional throughput. The bare drive format fits standard 2.5-inch drive bays in compatible Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault systems. It serves IT administrators who need reliable, original Dell replacement drives for mission-critical workloads.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This drive suits administrators maintaining Dell enterprise servers that support 12Gb/s SAS hot-swap bays and require 15K RPM performance for low-latency applications. It is not for systems limited to lower SAS link speeds or those lacking hot-swap backplane support. It is not for workloads needing larger capacity per spindle or solid-state latency. Buyers without a compatible Dell server chassis and controller should select a different drive.

Deciding Specification: 12Gb/s SAS Interface

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface combined with the hot-swap tray type. Your server backplane and RAID controller must both support 12Gb/s SAS signalling and 2.5-inch hot-swap carriers to use this drive. If the system only supports an earlier SAS generation or fixed-mount caddies, the drive will not function correctly. Verify the part number 400-ASSV against your hardware maintenance manual before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 15000 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 15000 RPM spindle generates more noise and heat than slower drives; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow for the 2.5" form factor.

Which controller or backplane do I need to connect the SAS 12Gb/s interface?

A SAS host bus adapter or RAID card with 12Gb/s support and a 2.5" hot-swap backplane is required.

Will this 2.5" hot-swap drive fit in my older 3.5" drive bay?

No, the 2.5" form factor needs a 2.5" hot-swap bay or a 3.5" adapter tray; it cannot mount directly in a 3.5" bay.
