Dell 300 GB 10K SAS drive

The Dell 300 GB 10K SAS drive is a 2.5 inch internal hard disk built for servers and storage arrays that need fast, reliable spinning media. It spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface. The unit ships with an R-series caddy for direct installation in compatible Dell bays.

12 Gb/s SAS interface limit

The 12 Gb/s SAS link sets the maximum bus throughput for this drive. Real-world transfer rates will stay below that ceiling because the mechanical platters and 128 MB cache determine sustained performance. The interface is backwards compatible with slower SAS controllers, but the drive cannot exceed the physical speed of its 10K rotation.

300 GB capacity and 10K speed headroom

At 300 GB the drive suits operating-system volumes, database logs or tiered-cache pools where low latency matters more than raw capacity. The 10000 RPM spindle keeps random access times short, yet the space fills quickly with modern workloads. Buyers who need more storage or a second drive for redundancy should plan additional bays.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 300GB 10K SAS 12G 2.5in drive for a single-bay server or a multi-drive array?

The 300GB capacity and 10000RPM spindle suit both single-bay and multi-drive SAS arrays; the 128MB buffer helps sustain throughput in either configuration.

How does the 10000RPM speed translate to real-world throughput in a 12Gb/s SAS backplane?

At 10000RPM the drive delivers sustained sequential reads near the SAS 12Gb/s link limit, while the 128MB cache absorbs burst I/O for database or virtualisation workloads.

Does the 2.5in SAS 12Gb/s interface work with 6Gb/s controllers and what is the practical cap?

The SAS 12Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 6Gb/s controllers; the link will negotiate to 6Gb/s, capping maximum throughput at that lower rate.
