Frequently Asked Questions
What are the specifications of the Dell 400-AWIT drive?
The Dell 400-AWIT is a 12 TB hard drive with a 3.5" internal form factor, featuring Near Line SAS (NL-SAS) interface at 12Gb/s, 7200 RPM spindle speed, and 512e format. This drive is designed for enterprise storage applications requiring reliable, high-capacity nearline performance. We offer this drive as part of our comprehensive Dell storage solutions at barcodesinc.com.
Is the Dell 400-AWIT drive compatible with Dell servers and storage systems?
Yes, the Dell 400-AWIT drive is a genuine Dell component (model 400-AWIT) engineered for compatibility with Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays that support NL-SAS 12Gb/s drives. The 3.5" form factor and SAS interface ensure seamless integration with Dell's enterprise infrastructure. Contact us today for compatibility verification with your specific Dell system.
What is the difference between NL-SAS and SAS drives?
NL-SAS (Near Line SAS) drives like the Dell 400-AWIT are optimized for high-capacity, sequential access workloads in RAID arrays, offering excellent performance-to-capacity ratios at lower cost than enterprise SAS drives. Standard SAS drives prioritize random access performance and are better suited for transaction-heavy databases. The 12 TB capacity of this NL-SAS drive makes it ideal for large-scale storage deployments in warehouses and data centers.
What connectivity interface does the Dell 400-AWIT use?
The Dell 400-AWIT uses a 12Gb/s SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides high-speed, reliable connectivity for enterprise storage environments. This interface supports hot-swap capability in compatible Dell systems, enabling maintenance without downtime. Visit barcodesinc.com to verify SAS controller compatibility with your infrastructure.
Is the Dell 400-AWIT suitable for RAID configurations?
Yes, the Dell 400-AWIT is specifically designed for RAID deployments in enterprise storage systems, with its NL-SAS interface and 7200 RPM performance optimized for multi-drive array environments. The 12 TB capacity provides excellent storage density for large-scale RAID implementations in logistics and warehouse operations. We can help you configure optimal RAID solutions—contact us today for guidance.
What are the physical specifications and form factor of this drive?
The Dell 400-AWIT is a 3.5" internal hard drive, the standard enterprise form factor for data center and server deployments. With its compact 3.5" design, it fits standard drive bays in Dell PowerEdge servers and storage enclosures, supporting high-density storage configurations.
