Dell 400-AHEB 1.2TB Enterprise Drive

The Dell 400-AHEB is a 1.2TB internal hard drive built for enterprise storage systems. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and spins at 10000 RPM to deliver consistent performance. A SAS 12Gb/s interface provides the high-throughput connection required by demanding server workloads. The drive supports hot-swap installation for simplified maintenance.

Suited for high-transaction servers

This drive suits administrators who need 1.2TB of capacity with 10000 RPM responsiveness in a 2.5 inch bay. It fits arrays that rely on a SAS 12Gb/s backplane for bandwidth and hot-swap capability. Buyers whose chassis accepts only 3.5 inch drives cannot use this form factor. Systems limited to a 6Gb/s SAS link will not reach the drive's rated interface speed.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. Your controller and backplane must support this standard to operate the drive correctly. A 6Gb/s SAS connection will limit throughput below the drive's design rating. Verify the interface standard before purchase to ensure the right part for your system.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5" form factor fit a standard 3.5" drive bay?

The 2.5" drive needs a 2.5" bay or a 3.5" adapter bracket to mount securely in a desktop chassis.

How do I install this SAS drive in a Dell server?

Slide the 400-AHEB into a hot-swap tray until the connector seats firmly, then lock the lever; the drive spins up automatically.

When should I plan to replace the 1.2TB SAS drive?

Enterprise 10000 RPM drives typically run five years under heavy load; monitor SMART reallocated sectors and replace before the count rises sharply.
