DELL 400-ANYZ 1.2TB 2.5" SAS 10K 12Gb/s internal hard drive

Dell 1.2TB SAS drive for servers

The Dell 400-ANYZ is a 1.2TB 2.5" hard drive built for SAS 12Gb/s backplanes in enterprise servers and storage arrays. It spins at 10000 RPM and uses a hot-swap tray for tool-less replacement during maintenance windows.

Sustained throughput on 12Gb/s SAS

Under continuous workloads the 12Gb/s interface keeps data moving at the link rate without the latency spikes seen on slower buses. The 10000 RPM spindle delivers consistent random I/O for databases and virtualisation hosts that run around the clock.

Capacity ceiling of the 1.2TB model

The 1.2TB limit means the drive suits tiered pools where hot data sits on fast spindles and cold data moves to larger, slower media. Buyers who need more capacity per bay must look at higher-density SAS drives or SSD alternatives.
