Hard Drive Hewlett Packard Enterprise 300GB 2.5 15K SAS 627195-001B-RFB

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise 300GB 2.5 15K SAS hard drive is a hot-pluggable 2.5-inch drive designed for enterprise storage arrays and rack servers. With a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM and a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this drive is engineered to deliver low latency and consistent throughput for demanding transactional workloads. The compact 2.5-inch form factor allows higher drive densities in server and storage systems while providing predictable performance for database, virtualization, and mixed I/O environments.

Advantages

This 300GB SAS drive provides a combination of high rotational speed and enterprise-grade reliability, resulting in fast random I/O and improved response times for read/write operations. The 2.5-inch form factor enables efficient space utilization in high-density enclosures. Built to operate in data center conditions, the drive supports continuous 24/7 workloads and integrates with server and array controllers that use the SAS protocol for robust error handling and link management.

Suitable for

• Database servers requiring low latency and high IOPS
• Virtualization hosts and hyper-converged infrastructure
• Transactional applications and OLTP systems
• Tier 1 storage arrays and RAID configurations
• High-density server racks where space efficiency is important

Key specifications

• Capacity: 300 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Rotational speed: 15,000 RPM
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Designed for enterprise/continuous operation
• Optimized for random read/write performance and low latency

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5-inch SAS bay or tray in your server or storage array, following the hardware vendor's hot-swap and handling procedures. Ensure the host controller and firmware support SAS drives and recognize enterprise rotational speeds. Configure the drive as part of the desired RAID level or storage pool according to your redundancy and performance needs, then initialize and format it within the operating system or storage management software before placing it into production.

Usage recommendations

Use this drive in environments where predictable low-latency performance and high IOPS are required. For workloads dominated by sequential throughput or very large capacity needs, consider complementing with higher-capacity or SSD tiers. Monitor drive health via S.M.A.R.T. and vendor tools, maintain proper cooling in the chassis, and follow manufacturer guidelines for firmware and compatibility to ensure reliable long-term operation.
