Dell 300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive

The Dell ST3300555SS is a new 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 300 GB capacity and a 15 000 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SAS 3 Gb/s interface and provides a 16 MB cache buffer. The package includes an R Series caddy for hot-swap installation in compatible bays.

Suits servers and storage arrays needing fast SAS

This drive fits servers and direct-attached storage arrays that accept 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS trays and benefit from 15 000 RPM access speeds. Systems limited to slower interfaces or fixed-mount bays without hot-swap support cannot take advantage of the supplied caddy and interface. Buyers needing larger single-drive capacity or solid-state latency should consider other storage types.

SAS 3 Gb/s interface and hot-swap tray

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 3 Gb/s interface combined with the included R Series hot-swap tray. The host backplane or controller must support 3.5-inch SAS drives at 3 Gb/s and accept the Dell caddy form factor for the drive to install and operate correctly.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ST3300555SS with its included R Series caddy in a hot-swap SAS bay?

Slide the drive into the supplied R Series caddy until the connector engages, then insert the assembly into a 3.5" SAS hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the 3Gb/s SAS interface seats automatically.

What maintenance will the 15000RPM SAS drive require over time?

No scheduled maintenance is needed; monitor SMART attributes for reallocated sectors or rising seek errors, and replace the unit if the 16MB cache area reports uncorrectable read failures.

Which limit appears first during sustained writes on the 300GB 15000RPM mechanism?

The 3Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput before the 15000RPM platters reach their maximum media transfer rate.
