Dell 400-ALBM 1.2TB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-ALBM is a 1.2TB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 12Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and workstations that need fast, reliable local storage in a small form factor.

Installation and non hot-swap constraint

This is a bare drive with a non hot-swap tray, so the system must be powered down before fitting or removing it. A compatible 2.5 inch bay and a SAS backplane or controller are required; forcing the connector or skipping the shutdown risks bent pins and data loss.

Capacity and performance envelope

The 1.2TB capacity suits operating systems, databases and active project files that benefit from 10K rotational speed. Workloads needing multiple terabytes or hot-plug redundancy will outgrow this single drive.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the drive spins at 10000 RPM after installation?

Check the drive identification in your RAID controller BIOS or operating system utilities; the model 400-ALBM should report 10000 RPM and a 12Gb/s SAS link speed.

What comes in the box and what must I supply?

The bare drive is shipped without a tray or cables; you must provide a compatible 2.5" SAS backplane or caddy and SAS data and power cables.

Which capacity should I choose for a Dell server needing 1.2TB of 10K storage?

This model is the 1.2TB variant; select it when your array requires exactly 1.2TB at 10000 RPM over a 12Gb/s SAS interface.
