Dell 400-BCNN Drive Overview
Increase the storage capacity of your Dell™ System with 960GB Solid State Drive from Dell. It boasts a storage capacity of up to 960GB, enabling users to store large amounts of data. This drive delivers enhanced data transfer speed of up to 12Gbps .
- Offers up to 960GB storage capacity
- Equipped with SAS interface which delivers high data transfer rate
- Solid State design offers ruggedness and fast data access
Benefits of SSD over spin drives:
- More Durable: Feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted on circuit boards and are more shock resistant.
- Faster: Faster data access, boot ups, file transfers, and an overall quicker computing experience than hard drives.
- Quieter: Run at near silent operation unlike loud, whirring hard disc drives.
- Lighter: Flash-based SSDs weigh considerably less.
- Cooler: SSDs require little power to operate, resulting in less heat output by your system.
- More Efficient: Consume less power at peak load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the specifications of the Dell 400-BCNN drive?
The Dell 400-BCNN is a 960 GB solid state drive with a 2.5" form factor, using SAS 12Gb/s interface technology. It's designed for mixed-use applications with 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) and 1752 TB total bytes written (TBW) capacity, making it suitable for enterprise storage environments. The drive features hot-pluggable capability for easy installation and replacement in server systems.
Is the Dell 400-BCNN compatible with my server?
The Dell 400-BCNN is a genuine Dell component designed for Dell server and storage systems that support 2.5" SAS drives with 12Gb/s connectivity. We recommend verifying your specific server model's drive bay specifications and SAS controller compatibility before purchasing. Contact us today for detailed compatibility information for your particular Dell infrastructure.
What is the DWPD rating and what does it mean for reliability?
The Dell 400-BCNN features a 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) rating, which means the drive is rated to handle one full drive capacity worth of data writes per day under normal operating conditions. With 1752 TB TBW (total bytes written), this drive is built for mixed-use enterprise workloads and provides predictable endurance for reliable long-term operation in data center environments.
Can the Dell 400-BCNN be used in a hot-swap environment?
Yes, the Dell 400-BCNN is hot-pluggable, which means it can be safely installed or replaced while the system is running without requiring a server shutdown. This capability is essential for maintaining high availability in enterprise storage systems and simplifies maintenance operations. We offer this drive for environments where downtime must be minimized.
What are the typical use cases for a 960 GB SAS SSD?
The Dell 400-BCNN is ideal for enterprise mixed-use applications including database acceleration, virtual machine storage, high-performance computing, and transactional workloads that benefit from SSD speed while maintaining SAS reliability. Its 960 GB capacity and hot-pluggable design make it suitable for mid-tier storage in Dell server environments. Contact us today to discuss whether this drive meets your specific performance and capacity requirements.
What makes SAS drives different from SATA drives for server storage?
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives like the Dell 400-BCNN offer superior reliability, higher data transfer rates (12Gb/s in this model), and better performance in multi-user enterprise environments compared to SATA drives. SAS drives support hot-swapping, dual-port configurations for redundancy, and are optimized for 24/7 operation in data centers. Available from us, this drive is the preferred choice for mission-critical server storage applications.
