Server-grade SAS drive

The Dell F617N is a 300 GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It spins at 15000 RPM and provides 16 MB of cache for low-latency data access. The bare-drive unit is built for hot-swap trays in enterprise enclosures. Condition is new.

Best for high-IO server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need fast, reliable storage for transactional databases or virtualisation hosts. The 15K spindle speed and SAS interface deliver the consistent throughput those tasks demand. Buyers who need larger capacities or lower-cost archival storage should look elsewhere.

15000 RPM spindle speed

The 15000 RPM rotation rate is the specification that determines whether this drive meets your performance target. It directly governs the 2 ms average latency and the sustained throughput available to the SAS 6Gb/s bus. If your workload requires that level of random-access speed, this model fits; if not, a slower spindle will be more economical.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Dell F617N 300GB 15000 RPM SAS drive and what must be purchased separately?

The product is a bare drive only; no mounting tray, cables, screws or adapter are included. You will need a compatible 3.5" SAS backplane or controller, plus any required cabling, to install it.

Which capacity and speed version of the F617N should I choose for a server that needs maximum throughput?

This model is offered as a single 300GB 15000 RPM configuration with 16MB cache and a SAS 6Gb/s interface; there are no alternative capacities or speeds listed for the F617N part number.

What does the 15000 RPM figure mean for real-world server performance with this drive?

The 15000 RPM spindle speed and 2ms average latency give very fast random access, making the 300GB SAS drive well suited for transaction-heavy server workloads such as databases or virtualisation.
