Dell 900 GB SAS Hard Drive

This Dell Enterprise Plus drive provides 900 GB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor. It operates at 10000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface and includes a 64 MB buffer. The unit ships with a tray for direct installation into compatible bays.

Suited for server storage upgrades

This drive fits PowerEdge and PowerVault servers that accept 2.5 inch SAS drives with a tray. It is not for laptops or desktops that only take 3.5 inch drives. It is also not for systems lacking a SAS controller or backplane.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface, so the host must provide a matching SAS port or backplane. Without that interface the drive cannot communicate with the system. Verify the server supports SAS before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the drive ship with the tray and caddy, or do I need to buy a 2.5" SAS bracket separately?

The drive includes a tray for Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault servers; no extra bracket is required for those systems.

How do I decide between the 900GB 10000 RPM model and other capacities in the same 2.5" SAS line?

Choose the 900GB 10000 RPM unit when you need the highest spindle speed and 64 MB buffer for transaction-heavy workloads; lower-capacity models run at the same interface speed but offer less space.

What does the 10000 RPM spec mean for real-world database or virtualisation performance?

The 10000 RPM spindle and 64 MB buffer deliver low latency for random I/O, making the drive well suited for database logs and virtual-machine storage on a SAS 6Gb/s backplane.
