Product Identity

The Dell 401-ABHQ is a factory-sealed 2.4TB enterprise hard drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface and 10000 RPM spindle speed. It ships in a 2.5 inch hot-swap tray certified for fourteenth-generation PowerEdge servers. Designed for continuous operation in mission-critical data centres.

Fit and Limits

Suits administrators expanding storage arrays in compatible Dell PowerEdge C6420, R440, R640, R6415, R740, R740xd, R7415 or R940 chassis. Not a fit for systems without a SAS backplane and hot-swap cage, for workloads requiring solid-state latency, or for enclosures that accept only 3.5 inch drives.

Deciding Specification

The 12Gb/s SAS interface is the single specification that decides compatibility; the host must provide a SAS 12Gb/s backplane and a 2.5 inch hot-swap bay to accept this drive.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 10000 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 10000 RPM SAS drive is engineered for 24x7 operation in mission-critical data centres, indicating it is built to handle sustained heat and power loads.

What server or controller do I need to use the 12Gb/s SAS interface on this 2.5 inch drive?

The drive requires a SAS 12Gb/s backplane or HBA; it is designed for Dell PowerEdge C6420, R440, R640, R6415, R740, R740xd, R7415 and R940 servers.

Will the 2.4TB SAS drive work in the 14G hot-plug tray alongside my older 6Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface is backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS backplanes, so the drive will operate in the same hot-plug tray at the lower speed.
