Dell 2.4TB SAS 10K Drive

The Dell 400-AVEZ is a 2.4TB internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor. It operates at 10000 RPM over a SAS interface with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. Designed for hot-swap bays, it suits servers and storage arrays needing high-capacity rotational storage.

Compatibility Checks Before Ordering

Verify your system provides a 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap bay and a controller that supports 12Gb/s SAS signalling. The drive uses a bare-drive package without an included tray, so ensure the correct carrier is available. Confirm the backplane and firmware accept 2.4TB capacity drives.

Sustained Load Behaviour

At 10000 RPM the drive maintains consistent throughput during extended read and write sequences typical of database or logging workloads. The SAS interface handles continuous command queues without the latency spikes seen in burst-only benchmarks. Mechanical operation remains stable within the rated duty cycle for always-on environments.

Questions about this item

Does the 400-AVEZ ship with a mounting tray or cables, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit without a tray or cables; the hot-swap tray and SAS data/power cables must be sourced separately.

Which capacity and speed combination does the 400-AVEZ deliver?

It provides a single 2.4TB capacity spinning at 10000 RPM over a SAS 12Gb/s interface.

What sustained throughput can I expect from the 12Gb/s SAS link once the 400-AVEZ is installed in a server?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface supports up to 12Gb/s burst transfer; actual sustained rates depend on the 10000 RPM mechanics and workload.
