Capacity and interface

This Dell 342-0851 drive delivers 600GB of storage on a SAS 6Gb/s connection. It fits 2.5 inch bays in compatible PowerEdge servers. The 10000 RPM spindle and 16MB cache suit transaction-heavy workloads.

Sustained throughput

The 10000 RPM rotation maintains steady transfer rates during long sequential reads and writes. SAS 6Gb/s signalling keeps the bus saturated without the latency spikes seen on slower interfaces. The 16MB buffer absorbs burst I/O without stalling the spindle.

Thermals and power

The 2.5 inch form factor limits heat output in dense chassis. Hot-swap tray mounting allows airflow across the drive while the server runs. SAS signalling draws consistent power without the peaks of higher-speed protocols.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 10000 RPM SAS drive produce during continuous operation?

The 10000 RPM spindle and SAS 6Gb/s interface generate typical enterprise drive acoustics and heat; ensure the server chassis provides adequate airflow for 2.5" hot-swap bays.

What controller or backplane must I already have for this SAS 6Gb/s drive to work?

A SAS 6Gb/s host bus adapter or RAID controller with a compatible 2.5" hot-swap backplane is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector.

Will this 600GB 2.5" SAS drive work in my older PowerEdge R710 or R810 servers?

Yes, the drive is listed as compatible with PowerEdge R710, R810 and similar 2.5" hot-swap SAS platforms.
