300 GB 15K SAS drive

The Dell 342-2242 is a 300 GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive that spins at 15,000 RPM and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied new in original or OEM packaging and is built for laptop or server bays that accept a 2.5-inch SAS device.

Suited for high-IO server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need low-latency mechanical storage for transactional databases, virtualization hosts or other I/O-intensive server roles. It is not intended for desktop PCs or consumer laptops that lack a SAS controller, nor for users who require the silent operation or lower power draw of solid-state storage.

15,000 RPM spindle speed

The 15,000 RPM spindle speed is the specification that determines whether this drive matches the performance envelope of the target server workload. Verify that the host system provides a compatible SAS 6Gb/s backplane and 2.5-inch drive bay before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 15000 RPM SAS 6Gb/s drive is recognised and healthy after installation?

The drive should appear in the server BIOS or RAID controller at 300GB capacity with a SAS 6Gb/s link speed; run the controller's built-in diagnostics or SMART self-test to confirm no read errors and correct RPM reporting.

What ships with the 342-2242 300GB 2.5" SAS drive and what must I source separately?

The drive itself is supplied; a 2.5" SAS hot-swap tray or caddy, SAS data and power cables, and a compatible SAS HBA or RAID controller are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which capacity and speed version of the Dell 2.5" SAS 15K line should I select for a 300GB requirement?

Choose the 342-2242 model — it delivers 300GB at 15000 RPM over SAS 6Gb/s; other part numbers in the same family differ in capacity or RPM, so match the exact MPN to your server's supported drive list.
