Dell 300GB 15K SAS enterprise drive
This Dell RN828 0RN828 is a new 300GB 3.5in internal hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a 3Gb/s SAS interface and 16MB cache. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require hot-swap capability and consistent high-speed access to transactional data. The ST3300555SS model delivers enterprise-grade reliability in a standard form factor.
Suits database and transaction workloads
This drive fits administrators who need low-latency 15K RPM performance on a SAS 3Gb/s backplane for primary storage or tiered caching. Buyers who require larger capacity per spindle or a different interface protocol should evaluate alternative models. The hot-swap tray simplifies maintenance in multi-bay enclosures without downtime.
3Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the 3Gb/s SAS interface, which must match the controller or backplane in the target system. A 16MB buffer and 15000RPM spindle speed support sustained throughput for write-intensive applications. Verify the host bus adapter supports SAS 3Gb/s before installation.

Questions about this item
What throughput does the SAS 3Gb/s interface cap at in practice?
The SAS 3Gb/s link tops out at 300 MB/s, so sustained transfers cannot exceed that bandwidth.
Which drive bay and tray does the 3.5" hot-swap form factor require?
It fits a standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bay with a compatible carrier tray; the drive slides in and locks without cables.
How is the drive installed, and what step is often missed?
Insert the drive into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks, then verify the controller detects it at 3Gb/s before use.
