Dell N226K 300 GB SAS enterprise drive

The Dell N226K is a 300 GB 3.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM. It is built for server workloads that demand high spindle speed and dual-port SAS connectivity. The unit ships with a hot-swap tray for rapid replacement in supported bays.

SAS 3 Gb/s interface throughput ceiling

The drive uses a SAS interface rated at 3 Gb/s, which limits sustained transfer rates to that link speed regardless of the 15000 RPM spindle. Real-world throughput will not exceed the interface ceiling and is further constrained by mechanical seek and rotational latency.

Verify SAS backplane and tray compatibility

Confirm that your chassis or backplane accepts 3.5 inch SAS drives and provides a 3 Gb/s or faster SAS port. The included tray fits Dell hot-swap cages; other vendors may require a different carrier. Ensure your RAID controller or HBA supports 15000 RPM SAS drives before ordering.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the Dell N226K should I choose?

The Dell N226K is offered in a single 300GB capacity with a 3.5-inch form factor and 15000 RPM spindle speed, so there are no alternative versions to select.

What does the 15000 RPM speed mean for real-world server use?

The 15000 RPM rotation delivers low latency and high sustained throughput for transaction-heavy server workloads, though actual performance depends on the SAS controller and queue depth.

How does the SAS 3Gb/s interface limit transfer rates in practice?

The SAS 3Gb/s link caps maximum theoretical bandwidth at 3Gb/s, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed this ceiling regardless of the drive’s 15000 RPM mechanics.
