Dell 400-AUPB 300GB SAS Drive

This is a Dell 400-AUPB internal hard drive with a 300GB capacity and a 2.5 inch form factor. It uses a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s and spins at 15000 RPM. The unit is supplied new and supports hot-swap installation.

Suits SAS servers needing 15K speed

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that require a 12Gb/s SAS connection and 15000 RPM performance. It is not for systems limited to slower interfaces or lower rotational speeds. Buyers needing more capacity than 300GB should consider other options.

12Gb/s SAS interface determines fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your backplane and controller must support this exact standard for the drive to function. Verify this requirement before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell 400-AUPB 2.5" SAS drive in a hot-swap bay and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the hot-swap tray until the SAS connector seats firmly; the step often missed is engaging the tray latch fully so the drive locks into the backplane.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15000 RPM SAS drive need later?

The 15000 RPM mechanical drive will eventually need replacement when bearing wear or media errors appear; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed chassis.

What limit appears first on the 300GB SAS 12Gb/s drive during sustained workloads?

The 15000 RPM spindle speed caps sustained throughput and latency before the 12Gb/s interface saturates, especially with random write patterns.
