Dell 300GB 15K RPM 2.5" SAS Internal Hard Drive

The Dell PDNT1 is a 300GB hard drive that uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface to deliver storage that is both fast and dependable for Dell servers. Its spindle speed of 15,000 RPM shortens seek times, so databases, virtual machines and other transaction heavy workloads respond quickly and keep pace with business demands.

The 2.5 inch form factor integrates neatly into PowerEdge or PowerVault drive bays, and the hot pluggable carrier allows administrators to add or replace drives while the system stays online. This capability is valuable during capacity expansions, maintenance windows or in clustered environments where every minute of uptime counts.

Dell engineers test each PDNT1 for firmware compatibility, thermal stability and consistent performance across the entire PowerEdge lineup. That validation helps prevent unexpected errors and simplifies deployment in data centers, branch offices or lab environments that cannot tolerate downtime.

Organizations upgrading from slower 10K or 7.2K drives will notice shorter backup windows and faster application start times once the PDNT1 is installed. By populating multiple bays with these drives, administrators can create a high IOPS tier for critical data while larger capacity drives handle archival tasks.
