2 TB 3.5" SATA hard drive

This new Dell 400-AUWX is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 2 TB capacity, a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It is supplied as a bare drive in non hot-swap configuration. The drive is designed for desktop and server systems that accept 3.5-inch SATA storage.

Suits Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible desktops

The drive fits Dell PowerEdge R430, R530, R730, T430, T440 and T640 systems that take 3.5-inch SATA drives. Builders needing hot-plug capability, SAS interface or a different capacity should look at other models.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface combined with the 3.5-inch non hot-swap form factor. Your system must provide a standard SATA data and power connection for this drive to work.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" form factor fit a standard desktop drive bay?

Yes, the 3.5" form factor matches standard desktop internal bays and uses the common SATA 6.0Gb/s interface for power and data cables.

How do I install this non hot-swap drive in a Dell PowerEdge R730 and what step is often missed?

Power down the server completely, open the chassis, secure the drive in a 3.5" caddy, connect both SATA data and power cables, then configure the RAID controller before booting the OS.

When should I expect to replace this 7200 RPM mechanical drive in a server workload?

Mechanical drives at 7200 RPM typically show wear after three to five years of continuous server use; monitor SMART attributes and plan replacement before reallocated sectors increase.
