The Dell 300 GB SAS 15 000 RPM 6 Gbps 3.5″ HDD is an enterprise‑class internal hard drive engineered for mission‑critical server and storage systems. With a high spindle speed at 15,000 RPM, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 6 Gbps interface, and a Large Form Factor (LFF) 3.5″ design, this drive delivers low latency, strong throughput, and robust durability for high‑performance workloads like databases, virtualization, transactional systems, and general server storage.
300 GB Storage Capacity — ideal for performance‑tier storage volumes and critical data.
15,000 RPM Rotational Speed — very low latency and high IOPS compared with slower drives.
SAS 6 Gbps Interface — fast, enterprise‑grade data link with robust signalling and higher throughput than SATA.
~600 MB/s Max Transfer Rate — leverages the full bandwidth of the SAS 6 Gbps interface.
16 MB Buffer/Cache — improves efficiency of read/write operations.
3.5″ Large Form Factor (LFF) — fits standard 3.5″ server bays and storage chassis.
Internal SAS Hard Drive — intended for heavy server I/O workloads, RAID arrays, and mixed‑use data tiers.
Hot‑Swappable Support — allows drive installation or replacement without powering down servers (when supported by backplane).
High Reliability for Enterprise Use — suitable for 24×7 operation in Dell PowerEdge servers.
Works with Dell PowerEdge T‑Series, R‑Series, and C‑Series servers and PowerVault arrays with 3.5″ SAS bays. Typical compatibility includes models like T310, T410, R210, R420, R510, R720, R730, and many others.
