400-BEGZ – Dell 12TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 256MB Cache Hot-Pluggable 3.5-Inch Hard Drive

The Dell 400-BEGZ 12TB Hard Drive is a high-capacity enterprise storage solution engineered for Dell PowerEdge servers and modern data center environments. Featuring a 7200 RPM spindle speed, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 256MB cache, hot-pluggable functionality, and a 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF), this hard drive delivers exceptional storage capacity, reliable performance, and enterprise-grade durability for business-critical workloads.

With a massive storage capacity of 12TB, the Dell 400-BEGZ hard drive is ideally suited for data-intensive applications such as cloud storage, backup and recovery systems, software-defined storage (SDS), virtualization environments, data warehousing, content repositories, surveillance storage, and enterprise file servers. Its large capacity enables organizations to consolidate storage resources while reducing infrastructure complexity and operational costs.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides enterprise-class bandwidth, dual-port connectivity, advanced fault tolerance, and superior scalability. Compared to SATA-based drives, SAS technology offers enhanced reliability, improved availability, and higher throughput, making it the preferred choice for mission-critical server and storage infrastructures.

Equipped with a 256MB cache, the drive enhances read and write efficiency by optimizing data buffering and reducing access times. The 7200 RPM rotational speed provides a strong balance between storage capacity, performance, and power efficiency, making it ideal for large-scale enterprise storage deployments.

Its hot-pluggable design allows administrators to replace or upgrade drives without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures. The 3.5-inch Large Form Factor maximizes storage capacity per drive, making it an excellent choice for enterprise storage expansion and data center growth.

Built according to Dell’s rigorous enterprise standards, the Dell 400-BEGZ hard drive is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, delivering dependable performance, scalability, and long-term reliability.
