Dell 401-ABHQ 2.4 TB SAS Drive

The Dell 401-ABHQ is a 2.4 TB internal hard drive built for 2.5-inch bays. It uses a SAS interface operating at 12 Gb/s and spins at 10000 rpm. This new drive is designed to increase storage capacity in compatible servers or workstations. Hot-swap capability supports quick replacement without system downtime.

Suits SAS arrays needing 10k speed

This drive fits systems that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives and require 10000 rpm performance. It works well in Dell PowerEdge servers or similar enterprise chassis with hot-swap backplanes. Buyers whose chassis only supports 3.5-inch bays cannot install this 2.5-inch form factor. It is also unsuitable for environments limited to slower spindle speeds or different interface standards.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface. Your controller or backplane must support this exact standard for the drive to function. A 6 Gb/s SAS or other interface will not provide the correct connection. Verify the system documentation for 12 Gb/s SAS support before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s drive into a hot-swap bay without damaging the connector?

Slide the 401-ABHQ into the 2.5" hot-swap tray until the SAS connector seats firmly; the tray handle locks it in place. The step people miss is pushing evenly on both sides so the 12Gb/s port aligns before the latch clicks.

What maintenance or replacement will the 10000 rpm drive need later?

The 2.40 TB SAS drive has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the unit once SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or the 10000 rpm spindle shows increased latency.

What limit appears first when the 2.4 TB drive runs sustained writes?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface and 10000 rpm spindle set the sustained-throughput ceiling; the drive will hit its maximum sequential write rate before thermal throttling engages.
