Dell 1.6TB 2.5" SAS 12Gbp/s Mix Use SSD

The Dell 400-AZIH is a 1.6 terabyte solid state drive created for servers that depend on the speed and stability of a 12 gigabit per second SAS connection. Built in a 2.5 inch form factor, it slides into enterprise drive bays and supports hot plug installation, so administrators can add or replace storage without shutting a system down.

This drive follows the PM1645 design and uses 512e sector formatting, which preserves broad compatibility with modern operating systems and controllers. An endurance rating of three drive writes per day, together with a total write figure of 8760 terabytes, equips the drive to handle steady cycles of reads and writes that are typical in virtualization hosts, transactional databases, and mixed application environments. A 16 megabyte cache smooths bursts of activity, helping latency remain predictable even when workloads fluctuate.

Because the 400-AZIH is tuned for mixed use, it offers balanced performance for read focused tasks such as analytics as well as write intensive jobs like log processing. Data centers that consolidate multiple applications on the same server rack can rely on the drive for consistent throughput, while remote office servers gain storage that can perform continuously without excessive maintenance.

IT teams that standardize on Dell infrastructure will appreciate the straightforward integration. The drive fits directly into Dell PowerEdge backplanes and aligns with common monitoring tools, making capacity upgrades or replacement projects simple and fast.
