Dell 400-APGS 900GB SAS Drive
This Dell 400-APGS is a 900GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spinning at 15K RPM with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high-speed mechanical storage in a hot-swap form factor. The bare drive carries Dell original part number 400-APGS and is supplied new.
Suits 15K SAS environments not 10K
This drive suits administrators upgrading or repairing Dell systems specified for 15K SAS 12Gb/s operation. Buyers whose chassis or controller only support 10K RPM drives or lower transfer rates should look elsewhere. The hot-swap tray type requires a compatible drive bay for tool-less installation.
15K RPM decides fit
The 15K RPM spindle speed is the single specification that determines whether this part matches the required performance tier. A system designed for 10000 RPM drives will not achieve the intended IOPS profile with this unit. Verify the server specification calls for 15K SAS before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 15K RPM motor or bearings need replacement after heavy use?
The drive spins at 15K RPM and is a mechanical HDD, so the motor and bearings will eventually wear and require replacement.
Does the 12Gb/s SAS link or the 15K spindle saturate first during sustained writes?
The 15K RPM spindle typically reaches its throughput ceiling before the 12Gb/s SAS interface becomes the bottleneck.
How much heat and noise does the 15K RPM drive produce when running all day?
A 15K RPM HDD generates noticeable heat and audible whine under continuous operation, so plan for active cooling in the chassis.
