It also has a 512E sector format which provides larger storage capacity than traditional 4Kn format.
In terms of connectivity, the Dell 400-AYDE hard drive uses a SAS connector, which is a small, rectangular port that connects to a SAS controller or host bus adapter (HBA) on the host device. This allows the hard drive to communicate with the host device and transfer data to and from it.
