  • 300 GB capacity stores critical data
  • 15 000 rpm spindle speeds up access
  • 12 Gb/s SAS interface moves data fast
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense servers
  • Hot-plug design allows drive swaps without downtime

Dell 300 GB 15K SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 400-ASGQ is a 300 GB internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor. It spins at 15 000 rpm and uses a SAS interface running at 12 Gb/s. The drive uses a 512n sector format and supports hot-plug installation in compatible Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 servers.

Suited for high-IOPS server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need low-latency storage for transactional databases or virtualisation hosts. It is not for buyers who want larger capacities or solid-state performance. It is also not for systems that lack a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane or hot-plug drive bays.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface. The server or storage array must provide a matching SAS controller and 2.5 inch hot-plug bay. Without that interface the drive cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How does the 15000 rpm spindle speed affect real-world server performance?

The 15000 rpm rotation reduces average latency and increases sustained throughput for random read and write workloads on the 300GB SAS drive.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface standard limit in actual deployment?

The 12Gb/s SAS link caps the maximum host transfer rate at 12 gigabits per second, shared across the backplane and controller.

Will the 2.5" form factor fit directly into a Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 drive bay?

Yes, the 2.5 inch hot-plug chassis matches the R640 front-access bays and uses the standard SAS connector.
