450 GB 15K SAS server drive

This 450 GB hard drive spins at 15000 RPM and uses a Serial Attached SCSI interface with a 6 Gb/s transfer rate. It is built in a 3.5 inch form factor and supplied as a bare drive without a tray. The unit is designed for high-throughput server workloads.

Compatibility and use cases

The drive fits Dell PowerEdge R410, R510, R710, T410, T610 and T710 servers as well as PowerVault MD3000 and MD3000i arrays. It suits administrators who need fast, reliable storage for those specific platforms. Buyers without a SAS backplane or a compatible Dell chassis should look elsewhere.

15000 RPM spindle speed

The 15000 RPM rotation speed is the key specification that determines whether this drive meets your performance requirements. It delivers the low latency and high sustained throughput needed for transaction-heavy applications. Verify that your controller and enclosure support 15K SAS drives before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 15000 RPM drive is recognised and healthy after installation?

The server BIOS or RAID controller should list the 342-2083 model with 450GB capacity and a 6Gb/s SAS link speed; run the Dell diagnostics utility to confirm no SMART errors.

The listing says Bare Drive — what exactly ships and what must I source separately?

You receive the 3.5" SAS hard drive only; a compatible hot-plug tray or caddy for PowerEdge R410, R510, R710, T410, T610 or T710 and SAS data and power cables are not included.

My server is a PowerEdge R510 — is the 450GB 15K SAS version the correct choice?

Yes, the 342-2083 is designed for the R510 3.5" bay and matches the 6Gb/s SAS backplane; other capacities or speeds are different part numbers.
