Dell Constellation 500 GB SAS Server Drive

This Dell Constellation drive provides 500 GB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor for server and storage-array installations. It connects through a SAS interface and spins at 7 200 RPM to deliver consistent throughput for enterprise workloads. The unit is supplied new and carries the manufacturer part number ST9500430SS.

Suits SAS-equipped servers and arrays

The drive fits 2.5 inch bays in servers or external enclosures that accept a SAS connection. It is not for systems that lack a SAS host bus adapter or backplane, nor for installations that require a different physical size or interface. Buyers needing higher capacities or alternative form factors should consider other models.

SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS interface; the host controller or backplane must support SAS signalling for the drive to operate. Without a compatible SAS connection the drive cannot be used, regardless of capacity or spindle speed. Verify the interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 7200 RPM speed mean for real-world use in a server?

The 7200 RPM rotation speed provides faster data access and higher sustained throughput than slower drives, improving performance for random I/O workloads such as databases or virtualisation.

What does the SAS 6Gbps interface mean for connectivity and speed limits?

The drive uses a SAS interface running at 6Gbps, compatible with SAS controllers and backplanes; the link speed sets the maximum bus transfer rate, while actual throughput depends on the drive's internal media performance.

Will this 2.5-inch drive fit in a standard 3.5-inch server bay?

The drive has a 2.5-inch form factor; it requires a 2.5-inch drive bay or a 2.5-to-3.5-inch adapter bracket to mount in a larger bay.
