Dell MBF2300RC 300GB SAS drive

This 2.5 inch SAS hard drive delivers 300GB capacity at 10000RPM with a 16MB buffer. It includes a caddy for direct installation into compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. The 6Gb/s interface supports enterprise storage arrays and RAID configurations.

Suits 10K SAS bays in listed PowerEdge models

The drive fits 2.5 inch bays in servers such as the R310, R320, R410, R415, R420, R510, R515, R520, R610, R620, R710, R715, R720, R810, R815, R820, R910, T310, T320, T410, T415, T420, T610, T620 and T710. It is not for systems lacking a 2.5 inch SAS backplane or the listed tray mounting points. Buyers needing higher capacity or different form factors should consider other options.

6Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The drive connects via a 2.5 inch SAS 6Gb/s interface. The host controller and backplane must support this signalling rate and physical connector. Verify the server model appears in the compatible list before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s drive fit directly into my PowerEdge R710 bay?

Yes, the included caddy matches the 2.5-inch hot-plug bays on the listed PowerEdge models such as the R710, R620 and M610.

What is the correct way to seat the drive in the supplied caddy?

Align the drive with the caddy rails, slide it in until the SAS connector engages the backplane, then lock the release lever; the step often missed is fully latching the lever.

How often should I expect to replace the 16MB cache drive in a 10000RPM server workload?

Enterprise 10000RPM SAS drives are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement based on SMART reallocated-sector counts or after the manufacturer's rated annualised failure rate interval.
