HDD Hewlett Packard Enterprise 300Gb SFF 3G SAS 10K RP001227216

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise 300Gb SFF 3G SAS 10K HDD is a server-class hard drive engineered for enterprise storage systems that require a balance of capacity, consistent performance and compact form factor. With a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), this drive is intended for installation in blade servers, rack-mounted arrays and storage enclosures where predictable latency and sustained I/O are important.

Advantages

This 300GB SAS drive delivers predictable random access times and steady sequential throughput thanks to its 10K RPM operation and enterprise-grade design. The SFF footprint allows higher drive density in chassis and improves cooling and airflow patterns in modern servers. Built to meet datacenter workloads, the drive offers features that support data integrity and long-term reliability under continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Server boot volumes and operating system installations
• Databases and transaction processing with frequent random I/O
• Virtualization hosts requiring multiple compact drives per node
• Storage arrays that prioritize performance and rack density

Key specifications

• Capacity: 300 GB
• Interface: 3Gb/s SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Form factor: 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF)
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM
• Designed workload: enterprise/datacenter environments
• Typical use: mixed random and sequential read/write operations

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5-inch server bay or storage enclosure that supports 3Gb/s SAS interfaces. Ensure the server is powered down and follow the chassis manufacturer’s procedure for hot-swap removal or insertion if supported. After mechanical installation, verify the drive is detected in the system firmware or RAID controller utility and initialize or configure it according to your storage topology (standalone, RAID, or as part of a storage pool). Monitor SMART attributes and controller logs to confirm healthy operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results in enterprise deployments, pair this 10K SAS drive with a compatible SAS controller and use RAID configurations appropriate for your redundancy and performance needs. Regular backups, firmware updates for controllers, and monitoring of drive health are recommended to maintain data integrity and service availability.
