Dell 1.8TB 3.5" 10000RPM SATA 12Gbp/s Internal HDD

The Dell 400-AJQX is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive that delivers 1.8TB of storage through a 12Gbps SAS connection and spins at 10,000 RPM. It follows the 512e sector format, allowing it to balance modern storage efficiency with broad compatibility.

This drive fits naturally inside Dell PowerEdge servers such as the R330, R430, R530, R630, R730, R730XD, T330, T430, and T630. In a virtualized environment, it provides dependable throughput for multiple virtual machines. In database or analytics workloads, the fast spindle speed keeps latency low so queries return quickly. For file hosting or backup targets, the generous capacity helps consolidate data while keeping it close to the compute resources.

Installation is straightforward: insert the drive into an available 3.5-inch bay, connect the SAS backplane or cable, and let the server’s management tools handle the rest. Once online, administrators can take advantage of Dell’s monitoring utilities to track drive health and plan maintenance without disrupting users. Whether you are expanding an existing array or building new storage pools, this drive offers a reliable path to higher capacity and steady performance in demanding enterprise settings.
