300 GB 15K SAS drive

The Dell H8DVC is a 300 GB internal hard drive with a 15K spindle speed and a SAS interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It uses 512-byte native sectors and is supplied new. This drive is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand high transaction rates. ||

Enterprise workload fit

It suits administrators who need fast random-access performance for databases or virtualisation hosts that support 6 Gbps SAS backplanes. Buyers whose chassis only accepts 3.5 inch bays or whose controllers lack SAS ports should look at something else. ||

15K RPM spindle speed

The 15 000 RPM rotational speed is the specification that determines whether this drive meets the latency and IOPS requirements of the target workload. Verify that the host system can accommodate a 2.5 inch SAS device before purchase.

Questions about this item

What throughput limit does the 6Gbps SAS interface impose on this 15K drive?

The 6Gbps SAS link caps practical transfer rates at the interface ceiling, so the 15K spindle will hit that bottleneck before the drive itself saturates.

Which drive bays accept the 2.5-inch form factor of the H8DVC?

Any 2.5-inch SAS hot-plug bay or caddy with a standard SAS connector will accept the H8DVC; 3.5-inch bays need a 2.5-to-3.5 adapter tray.

What firmware step is often missed when installing this 512n drive in a Dell server?

After seating the drive, update the controller and backplane firmware to the latest Dell release so the 512n sector format is recognised correctly.
