Dell HT953 300 GB SAS Drive

The Dell HT953 is a new 3.5 inch internal hard drive supplied with a mounting tray. It provides 300 GB of storage over a SAS interface and spins at 15000 RPM for fast data access in compatible desktop systems.

Suits SAS storage arrays and legacy servers

This drive suits administrators maintaining SAS storage arrays or legacy servers that require a 3.5 inch 15000 RPM drive with a tray. It is not for systems that lack a SAS backplane or controller, nor for users who need capacities beyond 300 GB.

SAS 3Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 3Gb/s interface; the host must provide a matching SAS port and backplane. Without that connection the drive cannot be used, regardless of its 15000 RPM speed or 300 GB capacity.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5 inch SAS drive into a server bay using the included tray?

Slide the Dell HT953 into the tray until the connector engages, then insert the assembly into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step most often missed is securing the tray latch fully so the 15000 RPM drive stays seated under vibration.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15000 RPM SAS drive need over time?

The 300GB SAS drive has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the unit when SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or when the bearing noise increases, typically after several years of continuous operation.

What limit appears first when the 15000 RPM drive runs sustained write workloads?

The 3Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput, so the 15000 RPM platters will hit the bus ceiling before the mechanical media reaches its own transfer limit.
