Dell 400-AUUN 10 TB SAS hard drive
This 10 TB 3.5-inch near-line SAS drive spins at 7.2K RPM and uses a 12 Gbps interface with 512e formatting. It is built for Dell servers and storage arrays that need high-capacity bulk storage.
SAS 12 Gbps interface practical limits
The 12 Gbps SAS link caps sustained throughput at the drive’s mechanical speed, so sequential rates stay well below the bus maximum. Random I/O is limited by 7.2K RPM latency, and the 512e sector format adds a small write-modify penalty for 4K-native workloads.
Highlights
- 10 TB capacity stores large datasets
- 2K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
- 12 Gbps SAS interface moves data quickly
- 512e format works with legacy systems

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 10TB version or a smaller capacity for my storage array?
The 10TB model gives you the highest raw capacity in this drive family, reducing the number of bays needed for a given volume of data.
What does the 12Gbps SAS rating actually deliver inside a server?
It provides a 12Gbps host interface ceiling; sustained throughput will be limited by the 7.2K rotational speed and 512e formatting overhead.
