Dell 300 GB 10 K SAS drive for R740
This Dell hard drive delivers 300 GB of storage on a 12 Gbps SAS interface. The 2.5 inch mechanism spins at 10 000 RPM and mounts in a 3.5 inch hybrid carrier. It is built for hot-plug service in PowerEdge R740 servers.
Capacity and headroom for transactional workloads
The 300 GB capacity suits operating-system volumes, database logs or caching tiers that demand low latency. The 10 000 RPM spindle provides consistent IOPS for random read and write patterns. Workloads requiring multiple terabytes of sequential throughput will exceed the available space.
SAS 12 Gbps interface practical limits
The 12 Gbps SAS link caps sustained transfer at the bus rate, so large sequential jobs are limited by the interface rather than the media. Dual-port SAS architecture supports multipath redundancy but does not increase single-stream bandwidth. Environments needing higher single-drive throughput must move to faster media or wider arrays.

Questions about this item
Will the 12 Gbps SAS drive negotiate down to 6 Gbps on an older Dell server backplane?
The drive uses a 12 Gbps SAS interface; SAS standards allow speed negotiation with slower backplanes.
How can I verify the 10000 RPM drive is operating correctly after installation in a PowerEdge R740?
Check the iDRAC or RAID controller logs for the drive status, firmware version, and reported spindle speed.
Does the 3.5in hybrid carrier include screws or rails, or must they be purchased separately?
The hybrid carrier ships attached to the 2.5in drive; mounting hardware for the R740 bay is typically supplied with the server chassis.
