5H3XX – Dell 1.8TB 10000RPM SAS 12Gb/s 512e Hot-Pluggable 2.5-Inch Hard Drive with Tray for PowerEdge M520 Server

The Dell 5H3XX 1.8TB Hard Drive is a high-performance enterprise storage solution designed for Dell PowerEdge servers, including the Dell PowerEdge M520, and other mission-critical business environments. Featuring a substantial 1.8TB storage capacity, 10000 RPM spindle speed, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 512e sector format, hot-pluggable functionality, an included drive tray, and a compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), this hard drive delivers exceptional performance, low latency, and enterprise-grade reliability for demanding workloads.

Engineered for data-intensive applications, the Dell 5H3XX is ideal for enterprise databases, virtualization infrastructures, ERP and CRM systems, cloud computing environments, online transaction processing (OLTP), analytics platforms, and business-critical applications that require rapid access to data and consistent performance. The 10000 RPM rotational speed significantly enhances I/O operations, reducing response times and improving application efficiency compared to traditional 7200 RPM enterprise drives.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface doubles the bandwidth of previous-generation SAS 6Gb/s technology, enabling faster data transfer rates, improved scalability, dual-port redundancy, and superior fault tolerance. This makes the drive particularly suitable for enterprise environments where high availability, reliability, and uninterrupted operations are essential.

Its 2.5-inch Small Form Factor design allows organizations to maximize storage density while minimizing physical space requirements within server chassis and data center racks. The included Dell tray ensures seamless installation and compatibility with supported Dell PowerEdge servers, while the hot-pluggable design allows drive replacement without system downtime, helping maintain business continuity.

Built to Dell’s stringent enterprise standards, the Dell 5H3XX hard drive is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, delivering dependable performance, long-term durability, and data integrity for mission-critical business applications.
