Dell disco fisso 300 GB SAS 15K 512b (HDD enterprise)

Enterprise 300GB Dell hard disk drive with SAS interface, 15,000 RPM spindle speed and 512-byte sector size. Designed for server and storage arrays, it provides high sustained random I/O performance and low latency for transactional databases, virtualization hosts and other I/O-intensive workloads. The drive is intended as a replacement or capacity upgrade in compatible Dell servers and storage racks and fits typical enterprise 2.5" or 3.5" drive bays depending on chassis requirements.

Advantages

This Dell 300GB SAS 15K HDD delivers high rotational speed and a serial-attached SCSI interface for consistent throughput and predictable latency under heavy mixed workloads. The 512-byte sector format ensures compatibility with a wide range of legacy and enterprise operating systems and storage controllers. Built to enterprise specifications, the drive offers reliability characteristics and performance tuned for database transactions, virtualization VMs and clustered storage environments.

Suitable for

• Transactional database servers requiring low-latency random I/O
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged nodes with high IOPS demand
• Enterprise storage arrays and RAID groups optimized for performance
• Server replacements or capacity upgrades in compatible Dell systems

Key specifications

• Capacity: 300 GB usable storage
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Spindle speed: 15,000 RPM
• Sector size: 512 byte physical sectors
• Form factor: enterprise server drive (fits standard server drive bays; confirm chassis compatibility)
• Optimized for: random read/write I/O performance and low latency

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible Dell server or storage enclosure following the chassis manufacturer's procedure for hot-swap or powered-down replacement. Verify drive bay form factor and SAS backplane compatibility before insertion. After physical installation, configure the drive within the server BIOS/RAID controller utility or operating system storage management tools; include the drive in an existing RAID array or present it as a standalone volume as required. Perform a quick drive initialization and, if applicable, run a parity rebuild or synchronization to integrate the drive into RAID groups.

Recommendations

Use this 300GB SAS 15K drive in environments that require consistent low-latency performance. For optimal reliability and performance, deploy the drive within supported Dell systems and ensure firmware and controller drivers are up to date. When used in RAID arrays, follow best practices for spare drives, monitoring SMART attributes, and regular backups to protect data integrity.
