Dell R749K 450 GB 15000 RPM SAS Drive

The Dell R749K is a 450 GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It connects via a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface rated at 6 Gb/s average latency. The drive is supplied as a bare unit in retail or OEM packaging. It is built for installation in compatible server bays.

Suited for high-throughput server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need fast mechanical storage for transaction-heavy applications or database logging on SAS backplanes. Buyers who need larger capacity per spindle or solid-state latency should evaluate other options. The 450 GB limit and mechanical design do not fit requirements for mass archival or silent desktop use.

15000 RPM spindle speed decides fit

The 15000 RPM rotation rate is the primary specification that determines whether this drive meets your performance target. It delivers the low access times required by latency-sensitive server tasks. Confirm your chassis accepts 3.5-inch SAS drives and that your controller supports the 6 Gb/s link before purchase.
