Dell 401-ABHX 12 TB SAS enterprise drive

The Dell 401-ABHX is a 12 TB SAS 12Gb/s hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM in a 3.5 inch form factor. It ships inside a 14th generation hot-plug caddy tray for direct installation in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. Certified Dell firmware supports secure updates and reliable operation in business-critical workloads. The drive uses a 512e disk format for broad compatibility with existing storage arrays.

Suits PowerEdge servers needing hot-plug bulk

This drive fits PowerEdge models including R640, R740XD, R740, R440, R540, R6415, R7425, NX3240, R340, R7415, R240, NX440, R640xd2 and C6420. It is built for administrators who need high-capacity, hot-swappable mechanical storage with vendor-certified firmware. Systems that cannot accept a 3.5 inch SAS hot-plug drive or that require a different interface protocol should select a different drive. Buyers needing solid-state performance or a smaller 2.5 inch form factor will not be served by this unit.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with the 14th generation carrier. Only servers and controllers that support this exact interface and caddy generation will recognise and operate the drive correctly. Verify that your chassis and backplane accept 3.5 inch LFF SAS hot-plug trays before purchase.
