400-BBFM – Dell 900GB 15000RPM SAS 12Gb/s 256MB Cache Hot-Swappable 2.5-Inch Hard Drive

The Dell 400-BBFM 900GB Hard Drive is a premium enterprise storage solution engineered for Dell PowerEdge servers and mission-critical business environments. Featuring an ultra-fast 15000 RPM spindle speed, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 256MB cache, hot-swappable functionality, and a compact 2.5-inch form factor, this hard drive delivers outstanding performance, low latency, and enterprise-grade reliability for demanding workloads.

With a storage capacity of 900GB, the Dell 400-BBFM is ideally suited for high-performance databases, virtualization platforms, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, financial applications, cloud infrastructures, and transaction-intensive workloads. Its high rotational speed and enterprise SAS architecture ensure rapid data access and superior responsiveness in environments where performance is critical.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides high-bandwidth connectivity, enterprise-level reliability, and exceptional scalability. Compared to traditional storage interfaces, SAS technology offers improved fault tolerance, enhanced performance, and greater operational efficiency for enterprise servers and storage systems.

Equipped with a 256MB cache, the drive improves read/write efficiency, accelerates data access, and enhances overall system performance. Operating at 15000 RPM, it delivers significantly lower latency, faster seek times, and higher IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) than standard enterprise hard drives, making it ideal for applications requiring rapid transaction processing and real-time data availability.

Its hot-swappable design allows administrators to replace or upgrade drives without interrupting server operations, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance. The compact 2.5-inch form factor supports higher storage density within server chassis, enabling organizations to maximize rack space while maintaining high-performance storage capabilities.

Built to Dell’s rigorous enterprise standards, the Dell 400-BBFM Hard Drive is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, delivering long-term durability, reliability, and consistent high-performance operation in enterprise environments.
