DELL 3NKW7 disco fisso interno 300 GB 10000 giri/min 2,5" SAS

The DELL 300 GB 2.5" SAS 10000 RPM 3NKW7 internal hard drive provides 300 GB of formatted storage in a compact 2.5-inch form factor. With a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this drive is engineered for environments that demand consistent performance, low latency and sustained data throughput. It is intended for installation in servers and high-performance workstations where predictable I/O and enterprise-class connectivity are required.

Advantages

This 2.5" SAS drive delivers faster seek times and higher sustained transfer rates compared with typical desktop drives, thanks to its 10,000 RPM design and enterprise-grade interface. The compact size enables higher density drive populations in server bays and blade chassis. The drive is suitable for mixed read/write workloads and offers stable performance under continuous operation, contributing to improved application responsiveness and reduced wait times for storage access.

Suitable for

• Database servers and transactional systems requiring low latency
• Virtualization hosts and hyper-converged infrastructure
• High-performance workstations and application servers
• RAID arrays where consistent spindle speed and SAS connectivity are needed

Key specifications

• Capacity: 300 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible server or workstation bay that accepts 2.5" SAS drives following the chassis manufacturer's installation procedure. Ensure the host controller supports SAS connectivity and is configured for the intended operation mode (single drive, RAID, or other). After physical installation, verify that the system firmware/BIOS recognizes the drive, then partition and format it according to the operating system and application requirements. For RAID deployments, follow the RAID controller guidelines for drive initialization and rebuilding.

Recommendations

Use this drive in systems with adequate cooling and power delivery to maintain performance and longevity. For critical data, deploy within a redundant storage configuration such as RAID and implement regular backups. Monitor drive health using vendor-supported monitoring tools or SMART utilities and replace drives that show warning signs prior to failure to avoid data loss or service disruption.
