DELL 400-ATII 300GB 2.5" SAS 15K 12Gb/s internal hard drive

300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS enterprise drive

This 300 GB hard drive uses a 2.5 inch form factor and spins at 15 000 RPM. It connects through a SAS interface with a 12 Gb/s transfer rate. The drive is supplied as a bare unit with hot-swap capability for enterprise storage arrays.

Ideal for high-throughput transactional workloads

The 15 000 RPM spindle suits databases and OLTP systems that demand low latency and sustained IOPS. It is not for users who need larger capacity per spindle or who prefer the lower power draw of solid-state storage.

12 Gb/s SAS interface determines host compatibility

The drive requires a backplane or controller that supports 12 Gb/s SAS signalling. If the host only negotiates at 6 Gb/s the drive will operate at the lower speed but the full transfer rate will not be available.
