Dell 300GB 15K SAS Drive

This Dell HUC156030CSS204 is a 300GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 12Gbps SAS interface and 128MB cache. It ships new with a Gen13 PowerEdge hot-swap caddy included. The drive is built for enterprise server bays that accept 2.5-inch SAS devices.

Who This Suits

Administrators populating Dell PowerEdge Gen13 servers with high-speed 15K spindles for transaction-heavy workloads will find the correct tray and firmware match here. Buyers who need more capacity per bay, quieter acoustics, or lower power draw should look at larger nearline drives or solid-state alternatives instead.

Deciding Specification

The 12Gbps SAS interface is the single specification that decides fitment; the host backplane and controller must support 12Gbps SAS signalling for the drive to operate at its rated speed.

  • 300 GB capacity supports dense storage arrays
  • 15000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transactional workloads
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface sustains high-throughput data paths

Questions about this item

What does the 12Gbps SAS interface limit the drive to in practice?

The 12Gbps SAS link caps the HUC156030CSS204 at 12Gbps throughput; actual speed depends on the controller and backplane.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5in SAS drive with included tray require?

The drive fits a 2.5in bay and ships with a PowerEdge Gen13 hot-swap caddy that slides into the server chassis.

How is the HUC156030CSS204 installed, and which step is often missed?

Insert the caddy into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is fully seating the latch to engage the SAS connector.
