Dell 300GB 15K SAS Drive

This new Dell internal hard drive delivers 300GB capacity at 15000 RPM over a SAS interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It includes a tray for direct installation into compatible PowerEdge servers. The 32MB buffer supports consistent throughput for enterprise workloads.

Suits high-IOPS server roles

The 15000 RPM spindle speed suits database, virtualization and transaction-heavy applications that demand low latency on a SAS backbone. Buyers who need more storage capacity per bay or a different physical interface should evaluate alternative drives.

15000 RPM spindle speed

This single specification determines whether the drive meets the performance tier required by the target workload. The 300GB capacity and SAS 6Gbits connectivity are secondary to the rotational speed for this use case.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller or backplane do I need to connect this 15000 RPM drive?

This 300 GB drive uses a SAS 6 Gbit/s interface and requires a compatible SAS HBA, RAID controller or server backplane that supports 2.5-inch SAS drives.

Will the included tray fit the drive bays in my older PowerEdge server?

The drive ships with a Dell tray designed for 2.5-inch PowerEdge bays; it matches the standard hot-plug sled used in those systems.

How can I confirm the 32 MB buffer and 15000 RPM speed are active after installation?

Check the drive properties in your RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility — they will report 300 GB capacity, 15000 RPM and a 32 MB cache.
