Dell 400-AVVQ 1.2TB SAS Drive

This Dell 400-AVVQ is a 1.2TB 2.5" internal hard drive built for SAS 12Gb/s infrastructure. It spins at 10000 RPM and uses a hot-swap tray for tool-free replacement. The drive is supplied new in retail or OEM packaging. It targets servers and storage arrays that require this specific Dell part number.

Who This Suits And Who It Does Not

Administrators replacing a failed drive in a Dell array that calls for the 400-AVVQ part will find a direct match. The 12Gb/s SAS interface and 10000 RPM speed suit transactional workloads that need consistent throughput. Buyers who need a different capacity or a non-hot-swap form factor should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The interface is SAS 12Gb/s; the drive will only operate in a backplane or controller that supports this protocol. Confirm the host system accepts 2.5" hot-swap trays and the 400-AVVQ part number before purchase.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Dell 400-AVVQ 1.2TB SAS drive and what must be sourced separately?

The drive ships in a hot-swap tray ready for a 2.5-inch bay; a compatible SAS backplane, controller and cables are not included.

How do I decide between the available versions of this 1.2TB 10000 RPM model?

Only one variant is listed — 1.2TB capacity, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 10000 RPM — so there is no capacity or speed choice to make.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS rating mean once the 400-AVVQ is installed in a server?

The 12Gb/s link sets the maximum bus bandwidth; actual throughput depends on the controller, backplane and workload, but the interface will not exceed that ceiling.
