300 GB 10000 RPM SAS drive for storage arrays

This new 2.5 inch internal hard drive delivers 300 GB of capacity on a SAS interface with a 10000 RPM spindle speed. It is built for Dell EMC PowerVault MD12XX systems and similar enterprise storage platforms. The drive uses a Seagate mechanism under the Dell EMC branding.

Suits arrays needing a 300 GB SAS spindle

Buyers who need larger capacities or a different interface should look elsewhere. Systems that cannot accept a 2.5 inch SAS device will require another form factor. Workloads demanding 15000 RPM performance fall outside this drive's rated speed.

10000 RPM spindle speed defines throughput

The rotational speed of 10000 RPM is the key specification that determines random I/O performance and sustained transfer rates for this model. Verify that your controller and backplane support SAS connectivity before purchase. The 300 GB capacity and 2.5 inch form factor must match your bay and capacity planning requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5" SAS drive fit the Dell EMC PowerVault MD12XX drive bays?

Yes, the 2.5-inch form factor matches the supported drive type for the Dell EMC PowerVault MD12XX storage system.

What is the correct SAS controller setting for the 10000 RPM drive during installation?

The drive uses a SAS interface and must be connected to a compatible SAS controller; the step often missed is verifying the controller detects the 10000 RPM spindle speed before array creation.

When should the 300GB drive be replaced in a Dell EMC PowerVault MD12XX?

Replace the drive if SMART data reports reallocated sectors, if the SAS link drops repeatedly, or after the rated service life for a 10000 RPM enterprise drive is reached.
