Dell 400-AFTY 1.2 TB SAS Drive
The Dell 400-AFTY is a 1.2 TB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 12 Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require a hot-swap 2.5 inch form factor. The bare drive carries Dell part number 400-AFTY and is supplied new.
Who This Suits And Who It Does Not
This drive suits administrators expanding Dell PowerEdge or compatible SAS backplanes that accept 12 Gb/s 10 K RPM drives. It is not for systems that lack a SAS controller or hot-swap bays. It is not for workloads needing solid-state latency or higher capacity per bay.
Deciding Specification
The 12 Gb/s SAS interface is the single specification that decides compatibility; the host backplane and controller must support 12 Gb/s SAS signalling for the drive to operate.
Highlights
- 2 TB capacity supports large data sets
- 10000 RPM spindle speed reduces access latency
- SAS 12Gb/s interface delivers high transfer rates
- 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays
- Hot-swap tray enables drive replacement without downtime

Questions about this item
How much power and heat does the 10000 RPM 2.5" drive produce during all-day operation?
The 10000 RPM spindle and 12Gb/s SAS interface draw more power and generate more heat than slower drives; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow for 2.5" bays.
What controller or backplane must my system provide for the 12Gb/s SAS interface to work?
A SAS HBA, RAID controller or hot-swap backplane with 12Gb/s SAS ports is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector and supports hot-swap trays.
Will the 1.2TB 12Gb/s SAS drive work in a Dell PowerEdge server that currently uses 6Gb/s SAS drives?
Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS drive is backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS backplanes and controllers; it will negotiate the lower link speed automatically.
