Dell 300GB 15K SAS Enterprise Drive
This new Dell enterprise hard drive delivers 300GB of storage on a 2.5 inch SAS interface running at 12Gbps. The spindle rotates at 15000RPM and includes a 256MB cache with 512n sector formatting. An R Series caddy is supplied for direct installation into compatible Dell server bays.
Suited For And Not Suited For
The drive suits administrators who need high-speed 12Gbps SAS storage for transaction-heavy workloads in Dell PowerEdge systems. Buyers who require larger capacities or a different physical interface should look elsewhere. Environments that prioritise quiet, low-power operation over maximum IOPS will find this 15K spindle unsuitable.
Deciding Specification 12Gbps SAS Interface
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12Gbps SAS interface. Your controller or backplane must support this exact protocol and speed for the drive to function. Verify the host connector and firmware support before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much power and heat does the 15000RPM SAS drive produce during continuous operation?
The 15000RPM spindle and 12Gbps SAS interface draw more power and generate more heat than slower drives, so ensure your server chassis provides adequate airflow for 2.5in enterprise drives.
What controller or backplane is needed to run this 12Gbps SAS drive?
You need a SAS HBA, RAID controller or server backplane that supports 12Gbps SAS signalling and can supply power to a 2.5in enterprise drive.
Will this 512n sector drive work in a RAID array with older 512e drives?
The drive uses native 512‑byte sectors (512n); mixing it with 512e drives in the same array depends on your RAID controller's firmware and may require a homogeneous volume.
