Dell 400-AJQM 1.8 TB SAS Hard Drive
This Dell 400-AJQM is a 1.8 TB internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a SAS 12Gbps interface. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and supports hot-plug installation. The drive is designed to increase storage capacity in compatible Dell PowerVault systems.
Suits PowerVault MD3420 storage expansion
This drive suits administrators expanding a Dell PowerVault MD3420 storage system who need 10K SAS performance and hot-plug capability. Buyers whose storage platform requires a different drive interface, a 3.5 inch form factor, or a non-hot-pluggable design should look elsewhere.
SAS 12Gbps interface and 10K RPM spindle
The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gbps interface combined with a 10000 RPM spindle speed. Your storage controller and backplane must support 12Gb/s SAS to use this drive at its rated performance.

Questions about this item
What storage system must I already have to install this 1.8 TB SAS drive?
The 400-AJQM is listed as compatible with the Dell PowerVault MD3420 storage system, so that system must be present for supported operation.
Will this 12 Gb/s SAS drive work in a chassis that only supports 6 Gb/s SAS backplanes?
A 12 Gb/s SAS drive will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s on an older backplane, so it functions but at the lower interface speed.
How can I confirm the 10 000 RPM drive is operating correctly after hot-plug installation?
The storage system should recognise the 1.80 TB capacity, report a healthy SMART status and show the SAS link running at 12 Gb/s.
