Dell T871K 300GB SAS Drive

The Dell T871K is a 300GB 2.5" SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays that require a 6Gb/s SAS interface. This new bare drive suits administrators replacing a failed unit or expanding capacity in compatible 2.5" bays.

6Gb/s SAS Interface Limits

The drive uses a 6Gb/s SAS connection which caps sustained throughput below the interface maximum. Mechanical latency at 10000 RPM limits random IOPS compared with solid-state alternatives. The physical 2.5" form factor fits only servers and arrays designed for that size and SAS signalling.

300GB Capacity and Headroom

The 300GB capacity handles operating system volumes, application binaries and modest databases on supported PowerEdge models such as the R410, R710, T410 and T710. It runs out quickly for large virtualisation datastores, video archives or workloads demanding high sequential bandwidth. Buyers needing more storage per bay should consider higher-capacity SAS drives or SSDs.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 300GB SAS 10K drive or a larger capacity for my Dell server?

The 300GB capacity suits boot volumes and high-IOPS workloads; choose a larger drive only if you need more raw space for sequential data.

How does the 10000 RPM spindle speed affect real-world performance in a PowerEdge R710?

The 10000 RPM spindle delivers low latency and high random IOPS, ideal for database logs and virtualisation workloads on supported servers.

What does the 6Gb/s SAS interface limit in practice?

The 6Gb/s SAS link caps maximum throughput at roughly 600 MB/s, so sustained transfers will not exceed that ceiling.
