Dell 2TB 2.5" Nearline SAS Drive

The Dell 400-ANXC is a 2TB 2.5 inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It is built for Dell servers and storage arrays that require hot-swap nearline capacity in a compact form factor. The drive arrives as a bare unit without a tray and is supplied in new condition.

Suited for hot-swap SAS bays

This drive fits administrators expanding nearline storage in compatible Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault chassis that support 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap bays. It is not for laptops or desktops lacking a SAS backplane or hot-swap carrier. It is not for workloads needing solid-state latency or higher rotational speed.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with the 2.5 inch hot-swap form factor. The host system must provide a 12Gb/s SAS backplane and a matching drive carrier for the drive to function. Without that specific connection and mechanical format the drive cannot be installed.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 7200 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 7200 RPM spindle and Nearline SAS design are built for sustained operation in server bays; typical acoustic and thermal output matches other 2.5" enterprise drives of this class.

What controller or backplane must I already have to use the 12Gb/s SAS interface?

A SAS host bus adapter or RAID card with 12Gb/s ports, plus a 2.5" hot-swap backplane that carries SAS signals, is required for the drive to function.

Will the 2.5" hot-swap tray fit in my older 3.5" SAS enclosure?

The drive uses a 2.5" hot-swap form factor; it needs a 2.5" bay or a 3.5"-to-2.5" adapter tray that supports SAS connectors to work in a legacy chassis.
