  • 2 TB capacity supports demanding enterprise workloads

  • 5-inch SFF form factor fits dense server bays
  • Hot-swap capability enables drive replacement without downtime

Dell 1.2 TB enterprise SAS drive

This Dell 400-BBFI drive delivers 1.2 TB of storage in a 2.5 SFF form factor. It spins at 10K RPM and connects through a 12 Gbps SAS interface. The 512 n sector format and hot-swap capability target Dell PowerEdge server deployments. It ships new in OEM or retail packing that may vary.

Built for Dell PowerEdge server bays

The drive suits administrators expanding or replacing storage in compatible Dell PowerEdge chassis where a SAS backplane and the correct tray are present. Buyers without a SAS host bus adapter or a supported server backplane cannot install this drive. Shoppers needing a consumer desktop drive or a laptop upgrade should look elsewhere because the SAS connector and enterprise firmware are not compatible with standard PC motherboards. The tray sticker may not be included and availability is subject to stock.

12 Gbps SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12 Gbps SAS interface, which requires a matching controller and backplane in the target server. Without that connection the drive will not function, regardless of capacity or spindle speed. Verify the server model and tray requirement before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 400-BBFI 1.2TB SAS drive in a Dell PowerEdge server and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into a compatible hot-swap tray until the SAS connector seats firmly; the step often missed is ordering the correct tray for the specific PowerEdge model at checkout.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1.2TB 10K SAS drive need over its service life?

As a mechanical 10K rpm drive, it will eventually require replacement when bearing wear or media errors appear; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed 2.5 SFF chassis.

What performance limit appears first on the 400-BBFI under sustained write workloads?

The 12Gbps SAS interface and 10K spindle speed cap sustained throughput; the 512n sector format adds no overhead, so the mechanical media rate becomes the bottleneck.
