Dell 2.4TB SAS 10K Drive

The Dell 400-AVCB is a 2.4TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for servers and storage arrays needing high capacity with a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It spins at 10000 RPM and ships as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray for quick replacement. This unit suits IT teams expanding Dell PowerEdge or compatible SAS backplanes.

SAS 12Gb/s Interface Limits

The SAS 12Gb/s link tops out at 12Gb/s, so throughput cannot exceed that ceiling regardless of drive speed. Mechanical latency at 10K RPM remains higher than solid-state alternatives, affecting random I/O response times. Cabling and backplane firmware must support 12Gb/s to reach the rated transfer rate; older 6Gb/s infrastructure will throttle performance.

2.4TB Capacity Decides Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 2.4TB capacity. Arrays requiring larger individual drives must look elsewhere, while configurations needing smaller increments will waste space and budget. Match the drive count and RAID layout to this exact capacity before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.4TB 10000 RPM SAS drive or a lower-capacity model?

Choose the 2.4TB 10000 RPM SAS drive when you need maximum capacity and fast rotational speed in a 2.5" hot-swap bay; select a smaller drive only if your array has strict space or power limits.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS transfer rate deliver inside a server?

The 12Gb/s SAS link moves data at up to 12 gigabits per second between the drive and controller, letting the 10000 RPM platters feed sequential workloads without bottlenecking the bus.

Does the SAS 12Gb/s interface cap performance in a 6Gb/s backplane?

Yes, the drive will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on a 6Gb/s backplane, so peak throughput is limited to the slower link while all other drive characteristics remain unchanged.
