Dell 300 GB SAS server drive

This 2.5-inch drive delivers 300 GB of storage on a SAS 6Gb/s interface and spins at 10000 RPM. It is built for Dell PowerEdge R430, R630, R730, R730XD, T430 and T630 servers. The unit ships new in retail or OEM packaging and includes a mounting tray for direct installation.

Build quality and daily connectivity

The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch SAS form factor that slides into hot-swap bays on the listed PowerEdge models. The supplied tray secures the drive without tools and maintains the correct connector alignment for the backplane. SAS 6Gb/s provides a dual-port path for redundancy in RAID arrays.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

At 10000 RPM the spindle generates typical enterprise drive heat and audible seek noise within a server chassis. Power draw follows the SAS 6Gb/s specification for 2.5-inch 10K drives under normal read and write workloads. The tray design allows airflow across the drive body when installed in the supported PowerEdge systems.
