Product overview
400-ALVB is a Dell 1TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-in hard Drive. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason a mechanically identical drive is rejected by the controller, and a 1TB spare is not worth discovering that on. We check the firmware family against your controller before the drive ships.
If the part is wrong for your platform we will say so and suggest the one that is, which is cheaper for both of us than a return.

Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 400-ALVB genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Dell packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will 400-ALVB work in my server?
- Send the server model or the shelf it is going into. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason an identical-looking drive is rejected, so we check that alongside interface and form factor.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Bulk capacity usually sits behind the flash tier that feeds a training cluster rather than under it.
