Refurbished 300 GB 10K SAS Drive

This refurbished Dell FW956 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 300 GB capacity and a 10000 RPM spindle speed. It uses a SAS 3Gb/s interface and includes a 16 MB buffer. The drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and Precision workstations.

Suits Legacy SAS Bays Only

This drive fits systems that accept a 3.5-inch SAS 3Gb/s device, such as listed PowerEdge and Precision models. Buyers who need a different interface protocol or a higher storage capacity should look at other drives. The refurbished condition means it is not a new unit.

3Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 3Gb/s SAS interface standard. Your backplane or controller must support this exact signalling rate. Verify the part number FW956 against your hardware maintenance manual before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the FW956 is spinning at 10000 RPM after installation?

The drive should be recognised in the system BIOS or RAID controller showing 300 GB capacity and SAS 3Gb/s link speed; SMART data will report 10000 RPM spindle speed and 16 MB buffer.

What comes with the FW956 and what must I supply myself?

The drive ships in OEM packaging; you must provide a SAS 3Gb/s cable, a compatible 3.5" drive bay, and a server or workstation backplane that accepts 1" high SAS drives.

Which FW956 capacity matches my Dell PowerEdge R610?

This model is the 300 GB variant; it is listed as compatible with the PowerEdge R610 and other supported Dell Precision and PowerEdge systems.
