300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive

This 300 GB internal hard drive spins at 15 000 RPM and connects through a 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that require high-speed, small-form-factor storage. The 64 MB buffer helps sustain throughput during heavy random-access workloads. It ships with an R Series caddy for direct installation in supported bays.

Capacity and headroom

The 300 GB capacity suits operating-system volumes, database logs or scratch space where low latency matters more than raw capacity. At 15 000 RPM the drive delivers fast seek times, but the mechanical design limits sustained transfers to the SAS 6Gb/s link speed. Workloads that need multiple terabytes of hot data will outgrow this single spindle quickly. It is not suited for bulk media archives or long-term cold storage.

Build quality and connectors

The 2.5" SAS connector and included R Series caddy match the drive bays of the listed PowerEdge models from the M600 through the R910 and T710 families. A 1.0 pound weight reflects the enterprise-grade mechanics rated for continuous operation. The tray ensures tool-less seating and proper alignment in hot-swap chassis. No additional mounting hardware is required for the compatible servers.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s interface work in my older Dell PowerEdge R410 server?

Yes, the R410 is on the compatible server list and supports 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s drives with the included R Series caddy.

How can I verify the 15000RPM drive is performing correctly after installation?

Check the BIOS or RAID controller during POST to confirm the ST9300653SS is detected at 6Gb/s link speed and shows 300GB capacity with zero SMART errors.

Does the package include the R Series caddy, or do I need to buy a tray separately?

The drive ships with the R Series caddy/tray included, so no separate tray purchase is required for supported PowerEdge servers.
