The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface is a high-speed data transfer interface used to connect storage devices, such as hard drives and solid-state drives, to a computer's host bus adapter (HBA). It is designed to provide faster data transfer rates and improved scalability compared to the older parallel SCSI interface.
SAS devices are fully compatible with the SAS interface and also backward-compatible with the SATA interface, meaning that SAS devices can be connected to a computer using a SAS controller, but also can be connected to a computer using a SATA controller, However, the transfer rate will be limited to the SATA speed.
SAS compatibility also extends to the cable and connector types used. SAS devices use a smaller, more durable connector compared to SATA devices, but they can still be connected using an SAS-to-SATA cable or SAS expander.
Multi-path support allows for multiple SAS devices to be connected to a single SAS controller, providing increased reliability and redundancy in the event of a device failure.
Data transfer rate and performanceData transfer rate refers to the speed at which data can be transferred between a storage device and a computer's host bus adapter. The 400-AVEZ Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 256MB SFF Hard Disk Drive has a SAS interface with a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, meaning that it can transfer data at a maximum rate of 12 gigabits per second. This high data transfer rate allows for faster data access and improved performance in high-demand applications.
The drive performance is also influenced by its rotational speed and cache size. The 400-AVEZ Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 256MB SFF Hard Disk Drive has a rotational speed of 10K RPM and a cache size of 256MB. This high rotational speed allows for faster access to stored data and the large cache size allows for faster data access and improved performance.
The drive performance is also measured by its read and write speeds. The drive's sequential read and write speeds refer to the speed at which data can be read or written to the drive in a continuous stream. The drive's random read and write speeds refer to the speed at which data can be read or written to the drive in random locations. High sequential and random read and write speeds are important for applications that require fast data access such as databases, virtualization and video editing.
Form factor and dimensionsThe form factor of a hard drive refers to its physical size and shape. The 400-AVEZ Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 256MB SFF Hard Disk Drive is a Small Form Factor (SFF) drive, meaning that it has smaller dimensions compared to other form factors like Large Form Factor (LFF) or 3.5-inch drives.
SFF hard drives are designed to take up less space in a computer and are typically used in servers, workstations, and other high-performance systems. They usually have the dimensions of 2.5-inch width and 1.0-inch height, making them easy to install in tight spaces.
The SFF form factor also impacts the drive installation and compatibility. SFF drives are designed to be installed in smaller drive bays and may require specific drive bay adapters to be compatible. They also may have different cooling and airflow requirements compared to other form factors.

Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
