DELL 2M5JK 300GB 10000RPM SAS 2.5" Internal Hard Drive

Dell 2M5JK 300GB SAS Hard Drive

This Dell 2M5JK is a 300GB internal hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM with a 12Gb/s SAS interface in a 2.5-inch form factor. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and the NX3340 storage system where high-speed SAS connectivity is required. The drive uses a 512n sector format for broad compatibility with supported arrays. New condition ensures full service life from installation.

Suited For SAS-Based Server Storage

This drive fits administrators expanding or repairing Dell PowerEdge R620, R720, R730, T430 or similar servers that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives. It also matches the Powervault MD3860f and MD3060e enclosures. Buyers needing larger capacity than 300GB or a different interface protocol should consider other options. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface standard. The server or storage array must support this exact SAS generation and provide a 2.5-inch drive bay with SAS signalling. Without a compatible SAS backplane or HBA the drive will not function, regardless of capacity or spindle speed.
