400-AQUZ – Dell 300GB 15,000 RPM SAS 12G4b/s 2.5-Inch 512n Hot-Pluggable Hard Drive

The Dell 400-AQUZ 300GB Hard Drive is a high-performance enterprise storage solution engineered for mission-critical server environments that require fast data access, reliability, and consistent performance. Featuring a 15,000 RPM spindle speed, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 512n sector format, and hot-pluggable functionality, this drive is designed to support demanding workloads in Dell PowerEdge servers and enterprise storage systems.

Built in a compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), the Dell 400-AQUZ delivers faster seek times and improved transaction processing compared to lower-speed hard drives. The 15K RPM rotational speed ensures rapid data retrieval, making it ideal for performance-sensitive applications that require high input/output operations and low latency.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides enterprise-class connectivity, enhanced data integrity, and reliable throughput for business-critical environments. Supporting the 512n (512-byte native) sector format, the drive offers compatibility with applications and operating systems that require native 512-byte sectors.

Its hot-pluggable design allows administrators to replace or upgrade drives without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted business operations.
