Dell 400-AHNE 1.2TB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AHNE is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is supplied as a bare drive with hot-swap capability for direct integration into compatible bays. This enterprise-class HDD targets servers and storage arrays needing high-throughput rotational storage.

Enterprise SAS Storage Upgrade

This drive suits administrators expanding Dell PowerEdge or compatible SAS backplanes that accept 2.5-inch 10K spindles. Buyers whose controllers lack 12Gb/s SAS ports or who require solid-state latency should look elsewhere. Systems limited to 3.5-inch bays without adapters cannot use this form factor.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface paired with the 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor. A backplane or HBA must support this exact signalling rate and physical connector. Without that match the drive will not function regardless of capacity or spindle speed.

Questions about this item

Does the 400-AHNE arrive with a tray or cables, or must I supply them?

The unit is listed as a bare drive with hot-swap tray type, so a compatible 2.5" SAS tray and cables are required separately.

Is the 1.2TB 10K 12Gb/s SAS model the only capacity offered for this part number?

The 400-AHNE is specified at 1.2TB capacity; other capacities would carry different Dell part numbers.

What sustained throughput can I expect from the 12Gb/s SAS interface inside a server backplane?

The 12Gb/s SAS link supports up to 12Gb/s transfer rate; actual sustained throughput depends on the 10000 RPM mechanics and the host controller.
