Dell 2M5JK 300GB SAS Hard Drive

This Dell 2M5JK is a 300GB internal hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM with a 12Gb/s SAS interface in a 2.5-inch form factor. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and the NX3340 storage system where high-speed SAS connectivity is required. The drive uses a 512n sector format for broad compatibility with supported arrays. New condition ensures full service life from installation.

Suited For SAS-Based Server Storage

This drive fits administrators expanding or repairing Dell PowerEdge R620, R720, R730, T430 or similar servers that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives. It also matches the Powervault MD3860f and MD3060e enclosures. Buyers needing larger capacity than 300GB or a different interface protocol should consider other options. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface standard. The server or storage array must support this exact SAS generation and provide a 2.5-inch drive bay with SAS signalling. Without a compatible SAS backplane or HBA the drive will not function, regardless of capacity or spindle speed.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the 12Gb/s SAS interface cap at in practice?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface limits the drive to a maximum of 12 gigabits per second of raw bus bandwidth.

Which drive bays accept this 2.5" form factor?

It fits any 2.5" hot-plug or fixed bay in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers and the Dell Storage NX3340.

How is the drive installed and what step is often missed?

Slide the carrier into the bay until the latch clicks, then verify the controller sees the 512n format before building arrays.
