Refurbished 300 GB 10K SAS Drive
This refurbished Dell FW956 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 300 GB capacity and a 10000 RPM spindle speed. It uses a SAS 3Gb/s interface and includes a 16 MB buffer. The drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and Precision workstations.
Suits Legacy SAS Bays Only
This drive fits systems that accept a 3.5-inch SAS 3Gb/s device, such as listed PowerEdge and Precision models. Buyers who need a different interface protocol or a higher storage capacity should look at other drives. The refurbished condition means it is not a new unit.
3Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit
The single specification that decides compatibility is the 3Gb/s SAS interface standard. Your backplane or controller must support this exact signalling rate. Verify the part number FW956 against your hardware maintenance manual before purchase.
