DELL 342-4173 600GB 10000RPM SAS 2.5" internal hard drive

600 GB 10,000 RPM SAS drive

This Dell 342-4173 internal hard drive delivers 600 GB of storage on a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. Its 10,000 RPM spindle speed provides fast disk access for transactional workloads. The 2.5-inch form factor fits standard drive bays in compatible servers and workstations. It is built for systems that require enterprise-class reliability.

Capacity and headroom

The 600 GB capacity handles operating systems, databases and active project files with low latency. High spindle speed keeps queue depths short during random read and write bursts. Sequential throughput is limited by the 6 Gb/s SAS link and mechanical media. Workloads needing multi-terabyte datasets will outgrow this single drive.

Build integration

A SAS backplane or HBA with 6 Gb/s support is required for connection. The 2.5-inch size allows dense packing in multi-bay chassis without 3.5-inch adapters. No wireless or network functions are present on the drive itself. Mechanical operation produces audible seek noise and vibration in quiet environments.
