Dell 3K30N 1.2TB SAS drive

This Dell 3K30N is a new 1.2TB laptop internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor. It uses a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s and spins at 10000 RPM for fast data access. The bare drive supports hot-swap installation in compatible bays.

Suits 2.5 inch SAS bays; not for other interfaces

This drive suits servers or workstations that accept a 2.5 inch SAS drive with a 12Gb/s connection. It is not for systems that require a different physical interface or connector type. Buyers needing a larger capacity or a different form factor should look at other models.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. The host system must provide a matching SAS backplane or controller to operate this drive. Without that specific connection, the drive cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 3K30N is running at the rated 10000 RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in your system's storage utility or BIOS; it should read 10000 RPM to confirm the 10K specification is active.

The listing says packaging is bare drive — does the 3K30N ship with a hot-swap tray or caddy, or must I source one separately?

The 3K30N is supplied as a bare drive only; the hot-swap tray or caddy required for your specific Dell chassis must be purchased separately.

This model is listed as 1.2TB — are there other capacities for the 3K30N part number, or is 1.2TB the only option?

The 3K30N part number identifies this specific 1.2TB capacity; other capacities carry different Dell part numbers.
