Dell 400-AEEK 300GB SAS Drive
The Dell 400-AEEK is a 300GB 2.5 inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers including the R430, R530, R730, R730XD, T430 and T630. The drive delivers a data transfer rate of 600 MBps for demanding enterprise workloads.
Verify SAS Controller and Bay Fit
Confirm your system has a SAS 6Gb/s controller and an available 2.5 inch hot-swap bay before ordering. The supplier notes the form factor as 2.5 inches while the description also references a 3.5 inch tray, so physical compatibility must be checked against your specific chassis. This drive is not suitable for laptops or desktops lacking SAS infrastructure.
Thermals Noise and Power in Normal Use
A 15000 RPM spindle generates more heat and acoustic output than lower-speed drives, so adequate chassis airflow is required. Power draw will be higher than typical 2.5 inch nearline drives under sustained load. The SAS interface supports hot-swap operation, allowing replacement without system shutdown when used in supported PowerEdge trays.

Questions about this item
Does the 400-AEEK ship with a mounting tray or do I need to buy one separately?
The drive is sold as a bare unit; Dell hot-swap trays for the compatible PowerEdge servers are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch form factor for my server?
The specifications list a 2.5-inch form factor while the description references 3.5-inch; verify your server bay size before ordering.
What sustained throughput can I expect from the 600 MBps SAS link in a PowerEdge R730?
The 15000 RPM platters and 6Gb/s SAS interface deliver up to 600 MBps transfer rate, limited by the drive's mechanical speed and the controller.
