D9K82 – Dell 300GB 15,000RPM SAS 12Gb/s 512n Hot-Pluggable 2.5-Inch Hard Drive

The Dell D9K82 300GB Hard Drive is a high-performance enterprise storage solution engineered for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible Dell enterprise storage systems. Featuring 300GB storage capacity, a 15,000 RPM spindle speed, SAS 12Gb/s interface, 512n sector format, Hot-Pluggable capability, and a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), this enterprise hard drive delivers exceptional speed, low latency, and enterprise-class reliability for mission-critical business environments.

Designed for organizations requiring rapid data access and dependable storage, the Dell D9K82 is ideal for enterprise databases, virtualization platforms, ERP systems, transaction processing, financial applications, email servers, web hosting, and high-performance computing environments. Its 15K RPM rotational speed provides significantly faster seek times and lower latency than conventional 10K or 7.2K RPM enterprise drives, making it an excellent choice for performance-intensive workloads.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides enterprise-grade bandwidth, advanced error correction, and dual-port capability (where supported), ensuring high throughput, enhanced fault tolerance, and superior reliability compared to SATA-based storage solutions. This enables consistent performance for demanding enterprise applications.

Supporting the 512n (512-byte native) sector format, the drive offers broad compatibility with legacy operating systems, enterprise software, RAID controllers, and storage environments that require native 512-byte sectors, simplifying deployment and integration within existing IT infrastructures.

Its Hot-Pluggable (Hot-Swap) design allows administrators to replace or install drives without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous business operations. This capability is essential for enterprise environments that require maximum system availability and simplified maintenance.

The 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) design enables higher storage density within rack-mounted servers while improving airflow, reducing power consumption, and maximizing available drive bays. This compact design is ideal for modern data centers where performance and space efficiency are equally important.

Manufactured according to Dell's rigorous enterprise-quality standards, the D9K82 is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation, delivering enterprise-class durability, enhanced data integrity, consistent performance, and dependable long-term reliability for mission-critical business applications.

The Dell D9K82 is particularly well suited for organizations seeking 300GB enterprise storage, 15,000 RPM performance, SAS 12Gb/s connectivity, 512n compatibility, Hot-Plug capability, and optimized compatibility with Dell PowerEdge server platforms.
