400-ANWL – Dell 2TB 7,200 RPM SAS 12Gb/s 512n Hot-Pluggable 2.5-Inch Hard Drive with Tray

The Dell 400-ANWL 2TB Hard Drive with Tray is a high-capacity enterprise storage solution designed for Dell PowerEdge servers and modern data center environments. Featuring a SAS 12Gb/s interface, 7,200 RPM spindle speed, 512n (512-byte native) sector format, hot-pluggable functionality, and a pre-installed Dell drive tray, this hard drive delivers reliable performance, broad compatibility, and simplified deployment for business-critical workloads.

Built in a compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), the drive provides 2TB of storage capacity while supporting high-density server configurations. The 512n sector format ensures compatibility with legacy operating systems, enterprise applications, and storage infrastructures that require traditional 512-byte sector architecture.

The included Dell drive tray allows for quick installation into compatible Dell PowerEdge systems, while the hot-pluggable design enables drive replacement or upgrades without powering down the server. This helps reduce maintenance downtime and supports continuous business operations.

Engineered for 24/7 enterprise use, the Dell 400-ANWL is ideal for virtualization, backup and recovery, file storage, cloud infrastructure, and other enterprise applications requiring dependable and scalable storage.
