Product Features
Technical Overview
This drive combines 1.8TB of storage capacity with 10,000 RPM rotational speed to balance capacity and performance for mixed workload environments. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides double the bandwidth of previous 6Gb/s generations, reducing data transfer bottlenecks in high-availability systems.
The 2.5-inch SFF form factor enables higher density deployments compared to traditional 3.5-inch drives, allowing more storage capacity in the same physical footprint. With 512-byte sector emulation (512e), the drive maintains compatibility with legacy systems while utilizing modern 4K sector technology internally.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Spindle Speed (rpm), Buffer. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom SAS drive delivers enterprise storage characteristics in a compact 2.5-inch form factor, making it ideal for space-constrained server and storage deployments where both capacity and performance are required.
High-Speed SAS Interface
The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides full-duplex communication and point-to-point connectivity, ensuring consistent performance even in multi-drive configurations without contention.
- Double the bandwidth of 6Gb/s SAS
- Point-to-point architecture reduces latency
- Full-duplex operation for simultaneous read/write
Hot-Swap Deployment

FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Axiom SAS hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive provides 1.8TB of storage capacity, which equals approximately 1,800 gigabytes. This capacity is suitable for storing operating systems, applications, databases, and user data in server and storage environments where balanced performance and capacity are required.
What is the spindle speed of this drive and why does it matter?
This drive operates at 10,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is faster than typical 7,200 RPM drives. Higher RPM reduces rotational latency, resulting in faster random access times for applications that frequently read and write small files, such as database transactions or virtual machine operations.
What type of interface does this hard drive use?
This drive uses a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with 12Gb/s bandwidth. SAS interfaces provide full-duplex communication, point-to-point connectivity, and enterprise features like dual-port capability for redundancy, making them ideal for server and storage applications where reliability and performance are critical.
Is this hard drive hot-swappable?
Yes, this drive is designed for hot-swap installation in compatible Dell systems. Hot-swap capability allows you to replace or add drives without powering down the server or storage system, minimizing downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or drive replacement operations in RAID configurations.
What does 512e mean for this hard drive?
512e refers to 512-byte sector emulation, where the drive presents 512-byte sectors to the operating system while internally using 4K (4096-byte) sectors. This maintains compatibility with older systems and operating systems while providing the benefits of advanced format technology, including improved error correction and storage efficiency.
What is the warranty period for this Axiom hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive comes with a 3-year limited warranty. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, providing assurance of product reliability for enterprise deployments where drive failure can impact business operations.
