300 GB 3.5" SAS drive for Dell servers

This 300 GB drive uses a 3.5 inch form factor and a SAS interface. It is built for Dell PowerEdge systems that accept the F617N part number. The unit ships with a mounting tray for direct installation.

Sustained 15.7K RPM spindle speed

The spindle runs at 15.7K RPM continuously rather than only in short bursts. This maintains consistent throughput for database logs, transaction processing and other write-heavy workloads. The SAS link keeps command queuing efficient under load.

Verify SAS backplane and tray compatibility

Confirm the server backplane supports SAS drives and that the included tray matches your chassis slot design. Check the system service manual for the F617N part number before ordering. Ensure the controller firmware recognises the ST3300657SS model.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 15.7K RPM drive produce during continuous operation?

The Seagate Cheetah 15.7K 300GB SAS drive runs at high spindle speed, so it draws more power and generates more heat than slower drives; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow and a power supply rated for 3.5-inch enterprise drives.

What controller or backplane is required to connect this SAS drive?

This 3.5-inch SAS drive needs a SAS host bus adapter, RAID controller, or server backplane with a standard SAS connector and a drive bay that accepts the included tray.

Can the ST3300657SS share a SAS chain with older 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s drives?

Yes, SAS is backward compatible, so this drive will negotiate down to the speed of the slower devices on the same controller or expander.
