  • 900 GB capacity stores large server workloads

  • SAS 6Gb/s interface sustains high-throughput transfers
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense drive bays

900 GB SAS Server Drive

This 900 GB internal hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and uses a 6 Gbps SAS interface. A 64 MB buffer supports sustained throughput for transactional workloads. The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard hot-swap bays in Dell EqualLogic arrays. It ships new with zero power-on hours and includes an R-series caddy.

Verify SAS Controller and Bay Compatibility

Confirm the host system provides a 6 Gbps SAS backplane or HBA with an available 2.5 inch drive slot. The included R-series caddy matches Dell EqualLogic trays; other chassis may require a different carrier. Ensure firmware and RAID configuration support 900 GB 10K SAS drives before installation.

Integrates Into Enterprise Storage Arrays

The drive slots directly into compatible Dell EqualLogic enclosures using the supplied caddy. Its SAS interface allows dual-port connectivity for path redundancy in RAID sets. The 10000 RPM spindle delivers low-latency random I/O for database and virtualisation volumes. No separate power adapter is needed beyond the backplane supply.

Questions about this item

Does the FR83F come with the R Series caddy or must I buy a tray separately?

The drive ships with the Dell R Series caddy already attached, so no separate tray purchase is required for compatible EqualLogic or PowerEdge bays.

Is the 900 GB 10000 RPM model the only capacity offered for this part number?

Yes, part ST9900805SS is a single 900 GB 10000 RPM configuration; other capacities carry different part numbers.

How does the 64 MB cache affect real-world performance in a SAS server?

The 64 MB buffer absorbs burst writes and re-reads, helping the 10000 RPM platters sustain throughput during mixed random workloads.
