Dell 450GB 3.5" 15000RPM SAS Internal HDD

The Dell 342-2083 is a 450GB hard drive in a 3.5-inch form factor that connects through a 6 Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI interface and spins at 15,000 RPM. It is designed for select Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage arrays, giving administrators a straightforward way to add or replace storage without compromising system uptime.

Because the drive supports hot plugging, technicians can install or swap it while the server stays online, a capability that keeps critical applications available during maintenance. The combination of a 15,000 RPM spindle speed and the bandwidth of SAS technology helps reduce latency and sustain data throughput, which is important for database workloads, virtualization hosts, and other performance-sensitive tasks found in enterprise environments.

This model fits naturally in data centers, branch offices, or any setting where Dell servers and storage arrays handle business-critical data. Whether you are scaling capacity in a rack-mounted cluster or replacing a failed unit to restore redundancy, the Dell 342-2083 offers a reliable, vendor-qualified option that maintains system compatibility and consistent performance.
