Dell 1TB 7200 RPM NL-SAS 2.5" Hot-Swap Hard Drive

The Dell 400-ALUO is a 1TB near-line SAS hard drive that drops into a hot-swap bay and immediately expands the storage pool of a compatible Dell server or workstation. Spinning at 7200 RPM, the drive answers queries quickly enough for everyday databases, virtual machines, and user file shares while still offering the quiet, energy-conscious operation that data centers value.

Its near-line SAS interface supports transfer rates up to 12 Gb/s, so the drive can move large backups or media files without becoming a bottleneck. Because the 2.5 inch mechanism arrives pre-mounted in a 3.5 inch carrier, installation is as simple as sliding the carrier into an available slot—no adapters or extra hardware needed.

The hot-swap design means you can replace or add the drive without shutting down the host system, a key advantage for environments that run around the clock. Administrators managing file servers, archival volumes, or secondary storage tiers will appreciate the balance of capacity, speed, and serviceability this drive provides.

Whether you are growing a virtualization cluster, adding space for user directories, or building a cost-effective backup target, the Dell 400-ALUO integrates smoothly and keeps data accessible when uptime matters most.
