The Dell 5H3XX (also known as 05H3XX) is an enterprise-class 1.8TB SAS hard disk drive (HDD) in 2.5-inch SFF (Small Form Factor) with a 12 Gbps SAS (SAS-3) interface and 10,000 RPM spindle speed.

This is a high-performance, tier-1 enterprise SAS HDD optimized for low-latency random I/O, high IOPS, and reliable 24×7 operation in demanding workloads such as databases, virtualization, VDI, OLTP, transactional systems, boot/OS volumes, and primary storage tiers.

It is a Dell Compellent-specific drive (rebranded HGST Ultrastar C10K1800, model HUC101818CS4204). Dell applies custom firmware and validation so it works seamlessly with Compellent SC-series storage arrays (SCv2020, SC4020, SC5020, SC7020, etc.) and their enclosures. It includes dual-port SAS for redundancy/multipathing, 128 MB cache, 512e sector format, and enhanced vibration tolerance for dense drive shelves.

Important Note: This is a Compellent-certified drive. It is not intended for use in standard Dell PowerEdge servers or non-Compellent systems. Using it outside Compellent arrays may result in detection issues, reduced performance, or lack of full support.
