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

The Dell 400-BBFS 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 exceptional performance, ultra-low latency, and enterprise-grade reliability for demanding applications.

With a storage capacity of 900GB, the Dell 400-BBFS is ideally suited for enterprise databases, virtualization platforms, financial applications, ERP systems, cloud infrastructures, and transaction-intensive workloads. Its high rotational speed ensures rapid data access and outstanding responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for performance-critical environments.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides enterprise-class bandwidth, superior reliability, and enhanced scalability. Designed for demanding server and storage environments, SAS technology offers improved fault tolerance, consistent performance, and greater operational efficiency compared to conventional storage interfaces.

Equipped with a 256MB cache, the drive enhances read/write performance by accelerating data access and improving overall system responsiveness. Operating at 15000 RPM, it delivers significantly lower latency, faster seek times, and higher IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) than standard 7200 RPM or 10000 RPM hard drives, making it ideal for applications requiring real-time processing and high transaction throughput.

Its hot-swappable design allows administrators to replace or upgrade drives without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures. The compact 2.5-inch form factor enables higher storage density within server chassis, maximizing storage capacity while optimizing valuable rack space in enterprise data centers.

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