SKU CH-8ZZ3-S7Q1K MPN 42D0641

300 GB 10 000 RPM SAS 2.5-inch internal drive for high-speed server storage

  • 300 GB capacity stores more data
  • 10 000 RPM spindle speeds up access
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface transfers quickly
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense bays
  • New condition ensures full reliability

Purpose and audience

This 2.5-inch SAS hard drive delivers 300 GB of storage at 10,000 RPM for servers or workstations that need fast, reliable internal storage. It suits IT professionals upgrading Dell arrays or replacing failed drives in compatible bays.

Deciding specification

The 6 Gbps SAS interface is the single factor that determines compatibility; the drive will only work in backplanes or controllers that support SAS signalling at that speed.

Build integration

The 2.5-inch form factor fits standard hot-swap trays and fixed cages designed for small-form-factor drives. SAS connectivity allows dual-port redundancy and broader controller support compared with single-port SATA alternatives.

Highlights

  • 300 GB capacity stores more data
  • 10 000 RPM spindle speeds up access
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface transfers quickly
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense bays

Questions about this item

What does the 10000 RPM spindle speed mean for everyday server workloads?

The 10000 RPM rotation speed reduces average latency compared to slower drives, giving quicker access to small random files in database or virtualisation tasks.

What does the 6 Gbps SAS interface limit in practice?

The SAS link runs at 6 Gbps, so the bus caps theoretical throughput at that rate while the drive’s own media speed determines real-world performance.

Will this 2.5 inch drive fit a standard 3.5 inch desktop bay?

The drive uses a 2.5 inch form factor; it needs a 2.5 inch bay or an adapter bracket to mount in a 3.5 inch slot.
