300 GB SAS drive for servers

This Dell H8DVC is a 300 GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spinning at 15 000 RPM. It is built for enterprise servers that need fast, reliable access to critical data. The 6 Gb/s SAS 2.0 interface delivers consistent throughput for demanding workloads. Genuine Dell firmware and certification ensure compatibility with supported Dell platforms.

Fits 2.5-inch hot-plug bays with SAS backplanes

The drive mounts in a Dell F830C hot-plug tray for tool-less installation in compatible 2.5-inch SFF bays. It requires a SAS 2.0 or later backplane and a RAID controller or HBA that supports 6 Gb/s SAS links. The small form factor leaves room for additional drives in dense chassis. No separate caddy or adapter is needed when the correct tray is used.

Replaces slower 10 K RPM SAS drives

Moving from a 10 K RPM SAS drive to this 15 K RPM model cuts average latency and boosts random I/O for transaction-heavy applications. The jump is worth it when database or virtualization workloads are bottlenecked by drive response time. It does not suit buyers who need larger capacities or solid-state endurance. Compatibility is limited to systems that accept 2.5-inch SAS hot-plug drives.

Questions about this item

At what spindle speed does this drive hit its sustained throughput ceiling?

The 15000 RPM spindle speed sets the mechanical limit for sustained data rates on this 300 GB SAS drive.

How much heat and noise does the 15000 RPM mechanism produce in continuous operation?

Enterprise 15 K drives run hotter and louder than slower models; plan for active cooling in the 2.5 inch bay.

Which controller interface must the host system already provide for this drive to work?

A 6 Gbps SAS 2.0 host bus adapter or RAID controller with a 2.5 inch hot-plug backplane is required.
