300GB 3.5-inch SAS hard drive spins at 15K RPM and includes an F238F tray for Dell systems

  • 300 GB capacity stores large data volumes
  • 15K RPM spindle speed ensures excellent performance
  • SAS interface delivers high data transfer speeds
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Includes F238F tray caddie kit for easy installation

Enterprise Storage Capacity

The DELL F617N is a 300GB enterprise-class hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that require consistent throughput. Its SAS interface and included F238F tray allow direct installation in compatible 3.5-inch drive bays.

300GB at 15K RPM

The 300GB capacity suits operating-system volumes, database logs or virtual-machine templates where low latency matters more than raw space. At 15K RPM the drive delivers fast access times, yet the fixed capacity means larger data sets will need additional spindles.

6Gbps SAS Interface Limit

The 6Gbps SAS link caps sustained transfer rates at the interface ceiling, so sequential workloads cannot exceed that bandwidth. Random I/O performance is bound by the mechanical 15K RPM mechanism rather than the host bus.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" 6Gbps SAS drive work in my older server that only has 3Gbps SAS backplanes?

The drive uses a 6Gbps SAS interface that negotiates down to 3Gbps on older backplanes, so it will function at the slower link speed.

How can I confirm the 15K RPM spindle is running at full speed once installed?

Check the drive's SMART data or the RAID controller BIOS; both report the current spindle speed and will show 15K RPM when the drive is operating normally.

Does the F238F tray ship attached to the 300GB drive or must I mount it myself?

The kit includes the F238F tray and the 300GB drive; the tray is not pre-mounted, so you will slide the drive into the tray and secure it with the supplied screws.
