Dell GKY31 900GB SAS drive

This new Dell GKY31 is a 900GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require enterprise-class reliability and consistent throughput. The drive arrives in retail or OEM packaging depending on stock.

Suits SAS environments only

This drive suits administrators expanding or repairing systems equipped with SAS backplanes and controllers that operate at 6Gb/s. It will not work in chassis or controllers that provide only a different interface. Buyers needing a larger capacity or a different rotational speed should select another model.

Interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the drive must connect to a compatible SAS port to function. Verify that your system board, RAID card or backplane supports this exact interface before purchase. The 2.5-inch form factor and 10000 RPM speed are secondary to the interface match.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 900GB 10000RPM SAS 6Gb/s model and other capacities?

This drive provides 900GB at 10000RPM on a SAS 6Gb/s interface. Select it when your workload needs that capacity and spindle speed; choose a different capacity only if your storage budget or space requirement differs.

What does the 10000RPM speed deliver in a live server?

The 10000RPM spindle reduces rotational latency and raises sustained throughput for random read and write workloads such as databases or virtualisation.

What does the SAS 6Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The SAS 6Gb/s link caps the maximum host transfer rate at 6Gb/s, so the drive cannot exceed that bandwidth regardless of internal media speed.
