400-BBEX – Dell 900GB 15000RPM SAS 12Gb/s 512n 2.5-Inch Hot-Swappable Hard Drive

The Dell 400-BBEX 900GB Hard Drive is a high-performance enterprise storage solution designed for Dell PowerEdge servers and mission-critical business environments. Featuring an ultra-fast 15000 RPM spindle speed, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 512n sector format, hot-swappable functionality, and a compact 2.5-inch form factor, this hard drive delivers exceptional speed, low latency, and enterprise-grade reliability for demanding workloads.

With a storage capacity of 900GB, the Dell 400-BBEX is ideally suited for enterprise databases, virtualization platforms, cloud infrastructure, ERP systems, financial applications, and transaction-intensive environments where rapid data access and high I/O performance are critical. The combination of high rotational speed and enterprise SAS connectivity ensures superior responsiveness and dependable operation.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides high-bandwidth data transfers, enterprise-level reliability, and advanced scalability for demanding server environments. Compared to conventional storage interfaces, SAS technology offers improved fault tolerance and performance, making it the preferred choice for mission-critical applications.

Operating at 15000 RPM, the drive delivers significantly faster seek times, reduced latency, and higher IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) than standard 7200 RPM or 10000 RPM hard drives. This makes it particularly effective for high-performance databases, transactional systems, and applications requiring real-time data processing.

The 512n (512 Native) sector format provides efficient data handling and compatibility with supported enterprise operating systems and storage environments. Its hot-swappable design allows administrators to replace or upgrade drives without interrupting server operations, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures.

The compact 2.5-inch form factor enables greater storage density within server chassis, helping organizations maximize rack space and improve overall data center efficiency. Built to Dell’s stringent enterprise standards, the Dell 400-BBEX Hard Drive is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, delivering long-term reliability and consistent performance.
