DELL

DELL WD3001BKHG 300GB 10K 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-MPA9-PTZ2D MPN WD3001BKHG

300 GB 10 000 RPM 2.5" SAS internal hard drive with hot-swap capability

  • 10 000 RPM for rapid data access
  • 300 GB capacity stores critical workloads
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface enables fast throughput
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense bays
  • Hot-swap support allows drive changes without downtime

300 GB 10K SAS drive

The Dell WD3001BKHG is a 300 GB 2.5" internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that need fast sequential access and hot-swap capability. The 3001 model delivers enterprise-grade reliability in a compact form factor. Condition is new.

Suits high-IOPS server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need 10K rotational speed for transactional databases or virtualization hosts. Buyers who want more storage capacity per bay should look at larger drives. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive. Laptops and consumer desktops lack the required 2.5" SAS hot-swap bays.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 6Gb/s interface. Your server or enclosure must provide a SAS port and hot-swap cage that accept 2.5" drives. Without a SAS controller this drive will not function. Verify the backplane supports 6 Gb/s signalling before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drive into a hot-swap bay and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the bay until the SAS connector seats firmly, then lock the carrier latch; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the drive registers on the SAS 6Gb/s bus.

What maintenance or replacement will the 10000RPM 300GB drive need later?

Mechanical wear on the spindle and actuator means the drive itself will eventually need replacement; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed enclosure.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on the SAS 6Gb/s interface?

The 10000RPM mechanical throughput ceiling is reached before the 6Gb/s SAS link saturates, so sustained transfer rates level off at the drive's physical maximum.
