Dell 1.2TB SAS 12Gb/s Drive

The Dell 400-AVPG is a 1.2TB internal hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that require fast, reliable data access. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 10000 RPM to deliver consistent throughput for demanding workloads. The 2.5-inch form factor fits high-density bays and the hot-swap tray allows drive replacement without system downtime. This new component is suited for IT professionals expanding or repairing compatible Dell infrastructure.

Suits Enterprise Storage Upgrades

This drive fits administrators who need a 10K SAS spindle for transactional databases, virtualization hosts or RAID sets where low latency and sustained write performance matter. The hot-swap carrier simplifies maintenance in production environments that cannot tolerate extended outages. Buyers who need larger capacities or solid-state speeds for read-heavy analytics should evaluate other options. Systems without a SAS backplane or compatible controller cannot use this drive.

SAS 12Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with the 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor. Your server or storage chassis must accept 2.5-inch SAS drives and provide a 12Gb/s backplane or controller port to realise the rated transfer rate. Without that specific interface support the drive will not connect or function. Verify the part number 400-AVPG against your hardware compatibility list before purchase.

Questions about this item

How does the 10000 RPM spindle speed affect performance in a live server?

The 10000 RPM rotation lowers rotational latency and raises sustained transfer rates, which helps databases and virtualisation workloads that issue many small random requests.

What does the SAS 12Gb/s interface mean for real-world throughput?

The 12Gb/s SAS link caps the drive's maximum burst transfer at 12 gigabits per second; sustained rates will be lower and depend on the controller and workload.

Will this 2.5-inch hot-swap drive fit my Dell PowerEdge bay?

The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch hot-swap tray designed for Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault servers that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives.
