  • 10K RPM SAS drive delivers fast data access for demanding workloads
  • 300 GB capacity stores operating system and critical applications
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense server and storage arrays
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface provides reliable enterprise connectivity
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer specifications and reliability

300 GB 10K SAS drive for servers

This new 2.5 inch hard drive uses a SAS interface and spins at 10K RPM to deliver fast sequential and random access for transactional workloads. It fits standard hot-swap bays in compatible Dell PowerEdge and Precision systems. The 300 GB capacity suits operating-system volumes, database logs or caching tiers where low latency matters more than raw capacity.

Suits arrays needing high IOPS density

Database administrators and virtualization hosts who need consistent response times under heavy queue depths will benefit from the 10K spindle speed and 6 Gbps SAS link. Buyers who want more storage per bay or who require silent operation for desktop use should look elsewhere, as the smaller capacity and mechanical noise make it a poor fit for media libraries or workstation boot drives.

The 10K RPM spindle speed decides fit

That rotational speed is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets your performance target; it delivers the IOPS required for OLTP databases and hypervisor caches. If your workload is sequential and capacity-bound, a larger nearline drive would serve you better, while an all-flash array would be necessary for sub-millisecond latency at scale.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch form factor fit my 3.5-inch drive bay?

The drive is a 2.5-inch unit. It requires a 2.5-inch bay or a 3.5-to-2.5 adapter bracket to mount securely in a standard desktop chassis.

Which cable and controller do I need for the SAS interface?

Connect the drive to a SAS HBA or RAID controller using a standard SAS data cable and a separate SATA power connector from the PSU.

How often should I expect to replace a 10K RPM mechanical drive?

Enterprise 10K drives are rated for continuous operation, but plan replacement after five years or when SMART reallocated-sector counts begin to rise.
