Enterprise 300 GB SATA SSD

The Dell D298X is a 300 GB solid-state drive built for enterprise storage workloads. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA interface and multi-level cell flash memory. The drive is suited for servers and storage arrays that require consistent read performance and low active power consumption in a compact package.

Upgrade from mechanical drives

This SSD replaces traditional spinning disks in compatible 2.5 inch bays, delivering sustained throughput of 500 and up to 75000 input/output operations per second. The jump is worth it when applications demand consistently low read latencies of 50 microseconds typical and strong data protection for virtualised or analytics environments.

SATA 6 Gbps interface limits

The drive operates on a SATA 600 electrical interface rated at 6.0 Gbps, which caps maximum sequential transfer rates below what modern PCIe storage can achieve. Sector size is 512 or 512e, and the 300 GB capacity may be limiting for workloads that need larger volumes or higher write endurance than this series provides.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch by 7 mm form factor of the D298X fit my server drive bay?

The D298X is a 2.5-inch by 7 mm SATA drive that fits any server accepting that exact form factor.

What is the common installation mistake with the included tray on the D298X?

The tray must be screwed to the drive before sliding the assembly into the bay; inserting the bare drive first prevents the tray from locking.

How often will the MLC NAND in the D298X need replacement under typical enterprise workloads?

The Intel DC S3500 Series is rated for sustained enterprise use; replacement timing depends on actual write volume and the 75,000 IOPS rating.
