Dell 400-AUQN 1.2TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-AUQN is a 1.2TB 2.5" internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require hot-swap capability. The drive arrives in new condition as an original Dell part.

Suited for hot-swap server bays

This drive fits administrators populating 2.5" hot-swap bays in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers or external enclosures that accept SAS 12Gb/s devices. It is not for laptops or desktops lacking a SAS controller and backplane. Buyers needing silent operation or solid-state latency should look elsewhere.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. The host system must provide a SAS controller or HBA with a matching 12Gb/s port and a 2.5" hot-swap cage. Without that connection the drive cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How long before the 10000 RPM SAS drive needs replacement?

Enterprise-grade SAS drives at 10000 RPM are built for continuous operation; service life varies with workload intensity and environmental conditions.

What limits sustained throughput on the 12Gb/s SAS interface?

The 12Gb/s SAS link and 10000 RPM spindle speed together cap sustained transfer rates; controller queue depth and command overhead also affect real-world throughput.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5" 10000 RPM drive produce under all-day load?

The 2.5-inch 10000 RPM mechanism generates measurable heat and audible seek noise during constant operation; adequate chassis airflow is recommended for thermal management.
