Frequently asked questions

What is the data transfer rate of the Dell 400-19730?

The Dell 400-19730 delivers an external data transfer rate of 600 MBps over its SAS 6Gb/s interface. This sustained throughput supports demanding applications including database operations, backup processes, and virtualization workloads. The 16MB buffer further optimizes data handling for consistent performance in multi-drive RAID configurations.

Is the Dell 400-19730 hot-swappable?

Yes, the Dell 400-19730 supports hot-swap capability, allowing drive replacement without system shutdown. This feature is critical for maintaining service availability in production datacenter environments. The drive can be safely removed and replaced while the system remains operational, minimizing downtime during maintenance or drive failure scenarios.

Which Dell server models are compatible with the 400-19730?

The Dell 400-19730 is compatible with PowerEdge T-series servers (T20, T110 Gen II, T310, T320, T330, T410, T420, T430, T610, T620, T630, T710), R-series servers (R210 through R930), C-series modular systems (C1100, C2100, C6100, C6220), M-series blade servers (M420 through M915), and PowerVault storage arrays (MD1120 through MD3620i).

What is the spindle speed and why does it matter?

The Dell 400-19730 operates at 15000RPM spindle speed, delivering fast disk access and reduced latency compared to lower-speed drives. This high rotational speed is essential for I/O-intensive workloads such as transactional databases, virtualization platforms, and high-frequency server operations where rapid data retrieval directly impacts application performance and user experience.

What buffer size does this drive include?

The Dell 400-19730 includes a 16MB buffer that optimizes data handling and improves performance in multi-drive configurations. The buffer reduces latency during read and write operations, particularly beneficial for RAID arrays and systems with concurrent I/O requests from multiple applications or virtual machines.

What interface type does the 400-19730 use?

The Dell 400-19730 uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface, the enterprise standard for server and storage array connectivity. SAS provides superior reliability, multi-initiator support, and full-duplex communication compared to SATA alternatives, making it ideal for mission-critical datacenter applications requiring consistent performance and high availability.
