What interface does this drive use?

This drive uses a SAS interface rated at 12Gbps. That interface class is essential for matching the drive to a compatible SAS storage controller or backplane in the target system.

What is the rotational speed?

The drive is listed at 7.2K RPM. That is the only speed value provided, so it should be used as the confirmed rotational-speed specification when comparing this unit to other storage options.

What is the form factor?

The product is a 3.5-inch hard drive. The form factor is important for physical compatibility because it must fit the intended bay or chassis designed for 3.5-inch drives.

Does this drive use 512e formatting?

Yes, the product data specifies 512e. That sector format is part of the drive's identified configuration and should be checked against the system's expected storage format before deployment.

Is this a hot-plug drive?

Yes, the product is identified as a hot-plug hard drive with tray. That detail matters in environments where drives are installed or replaced through removable bays rather than fixed internal mounting.

Product overview

The Dell 400-BLTD is a 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS hard drive in a 3.5-inch hot-plug form factor. It uses a 12Gbps SAS interface and 512e logical sector format, providing a storage configuration built around enterprise server use. The product designation identifies it as a hard drive with tray in the 3.5-inch SAS 12Gbps category. Its stated specifications center on capacity, rotational speed, interface speed, sector format, and hot-plug design. This makes it suitable for procurement teams that need to match a drive to a server environment where SAS connectivity and a 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis format are required. The available data does not include performance metrics beyond the listed 7.2K RPM and 12Gbps interface, so purchasing decisions should be based on these confirmed configuration details only.
