Dell ST3300555SS 300GB SAS Drive

The Dell ST3300555SS is a 300GB internal hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a SAS 3Gb/s interface and 16MB cache. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand high transactional throughput in a 3.5-inch form factor.

Hot-swap installation and caddy fit

The drive uses a standard 3.5-inch SAS connector and hot-swap tray, so it slides into a compatible backplane without tools or cables. Compatibility depends on the server chassis accepting the original Dell caddy; mismatched trays are the most common reason a drive will not seat or lock.

15000RPM rotational speed

The 15000RPM spindle speed determines the random I/O performance and latency profile that suits database logs, virtualisation hosts and other latency-sensitive workloads. Buyers who need larger capacity per spindle or lower power draw should consider slower, higher-capacity alternatives.

Use a SMART monitoring tool to check the reported rotational speed; it should read 15000 RPM for this drive.

Does the ST3300555SS ship with a SAS cable or mounting bracket, or must I buy them separately?

Choose the 3.5-inch SAS 3Gb/s version; this is the only interface specification listed for the ST3300555SS model.
