Dell 400-APBF 480GB SATA SSD

The Dell 400-APBF is a 480GB solid-state drive built for 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap bays. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface and ships as a bare drive without a retail tray. The part number 400-APBF identifies it as a Dell original component for compatible servers or storage arrays.

Suits servers with 2.5-inch hot-swap SATA trays

This drive fits systems that accept 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap devices and need 480GB of solid-state capacity. It is not for builds limited to 3.5-inch bays, for setups that cannot hot-swap, or for buyers who require a larger capacity than 480GB.

SATA 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive connects through a SATA 6Gb/s link, so the host must provide a matching SATA port and hot-swap backplane. If the system uses a different interface or lacks hot-swap support, the drive will not function as intended.

Questions about this item

What host connector and bay size does my system need for the 2.5" SATA 400-APBF?

The drive plugs into a standard SATA data and power port and fits any 2.5" drive bay or hot-swap tray that accepts a 2.5" SATA SSD.

Will the 6 Gb/s SATA interface on the 400-APBF work with my older 3 Gb/s SATA controller?

Yes, the SATA 6 Gb/s interface is backward compatible and will operate at the 3 Gb/s link speed of the older controller.

How can I confirm the 480 GB 400-APBF is running at the rated 6 Gb/s link speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in your BIOS, UEFI or OS disk utility — it should report a 6 Gb/s SATA connection for the drive.
