SKU CH-MDBR-72DCR

300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS hard drive with 64 MB cache and included 2.5" caddy

  • 300 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 15 000 RPM spindle delivers fast data access
  • 64 MB cache boosts read/write throughput
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface enables high-speed transfers
  • Includes R Series caddy for simple 2.5" bay installation

Dell 300 GB 15K SAS drive

This 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spins at 15000 RPM and carries a 64 MB buffer. It ships new with an R Series caddy for direct mounting in compatible bays. The 6 Gb/s interface suits servers and storage arrays that require consistent enterprise throughput. Capacity is 300 GB.

Suits SAS bays needing 15K speed

Ideal for administrators replacing a failed drive in a Dell PowerEdge or similar SAS backplane where 15000 RPM and 64 MB cache are specified. Not suitable for systems that only accept 3.5-inch form factors or interfaces other than SAS. Buyers needing larger capacities or solid-state latency should evaluate other options.

6 Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The drive communicates over a 6 Gb/s SAS link, so the host controller or backplane must support that exact interface. Without a SAS connector and matching firmware support the drive will not function. Verify the system’s drive bay and controller specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the ST9300653SS is running at its rated 15000 RPM after installation?

Use a SMART monitoring tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or hdparm to verify the reported rotational speed matches 15000 RPM and that the SAS link negotiates at 6 Gb/s.

The listing mentions an R Series caddy; does the package include anything else or must I buy cables separately?

The drive ships with the R Series caddy/tray only; SAS data and power cables are not included and must be sourced from your server or enclosure.

This model is listed as a single 300 GB capacity; are there other capacities or versions of the ST9300653SS I should consider?

The ST9300653SS is offered in this 300 GB capacity with 64 MB cache and 15000 RPM; no other capacities or versions exist for this specific part number.
