Dell 2TB Near-Line SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 400-ALOB is a 2TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface with hot-plug support.

Suited for capacity expansion in Dell PowerEdge

This drive fits administrators who need near-line SAS reliability for bulk data, backups or archiving in compatible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. It is not for workloads that demand solid-state latency or for platforms that lack a 12Gb/s SAS backplane.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The drive requires a controller or backplane that supports 12Gb/s Near-Line SAS signalling. Without that link the drive will not operate, so verify the host hardware before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" hot-plug SAS drive in a Dell server bay?

Slide the 3.5" carrier into an empty hot-plug bay until the latch clicks; the SAS 12Gb/s connector mates automatically — no cables to route.

What maintenance or replacement will this 7200 RPM near-line SAS drive need later?

Plan to replace the drive after its rated service life; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed helium enclosure.

What limit appears first when this 2TB NL-SAS drive runs sustained write workloads?

The 7200 RPM spindle caps sustained throughput at the SAS 12Gb/s interface ceiling during long sequential writes.
