Dell 300 GB SAS 15K drive

This Dell enterprise hard drive delivers 300 GB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor. It spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a SAS interface rated at 12Gb/s. The drive is supplied as a bare unit in new condition and is built for hot-swap storage arrays.

Suited for high-IOPS enterprise arrays.

The 15K spindle speed targets workloads that demand low latency and high random IOPS, such as transactional databases or virtualised hosts. Buyers who need more capacity per bay or who require the density of larger drives should look at something else. Compatibility is listed for Dell EMC PowerVault MD34XX and MD38XX series systems.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The drive interface standard is 12Gb/s SAS, so the backplane or controller must support that exact signalling rate. A 6Gb/s-only SAS port will limit throughput and may prevent the drive from operating at its rated performance. Verify the host adapter or enclosure specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the bare drive ship with a mounting bracket or caddy for a 2.5" bay?

The unit is supplied as a bare drive only; a 2.5" SAS tray or caddy must be sourced separately for installation.

Should I select the 12Gb/s SAS version or the 6Gb/s SAS version for a Dell PowerVault MD34XX array?

The drive's interface standard is 12Gb/s SAS, matching the MD34XX and MD38XX series specifications listed for this part.

What sustained throughput can I expect from the 15000 RPM spindle inside a PowerVault MD38XX enclosure?

The 15000 RPM spindle and 12Gb/s SAS link deliver enterprise-class random I/O performance for the supported MD34XX and MD38XX storage systems.
