## Long description

The IBM 300GB 15K SAS HDD (5311-RFB) is a 2.5-inch (8.9 cm) enterprise-class hard disk drive designed for server and storage array use. With a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM and a 6 Gbps Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this drive provides low-latency access and sustained throughput for demanding transactional and database workloads. The 300 GB capacity and enterprise-grade build target reliability and consistent performance in RAID configurations and mixed virtualized environments.
Advantages
The drive combines a high rotational speed and a 6 Gbps SAS interface to deliver fast seek times and improved I/O per second compared with lower-RPM HDDs. Its 2.5-inch (8.9 cm) form factor enables higher drive density in server chassis and blade systems. Built to IBM specifications (MPN 5311-RFB), the HDD is suitable for use in enterprise RAID arrays and supports common server hot-swap bays where compatibility with SAS controllers is required.
Suitable for
 Database servers requiring high IOPS for transactional workloads
 Virtualization hosts with mixed random I/O patterns
 RAID arrays in enterprise storage systems
 Mail and messaging servers with frequent small reads/writes
 Backup or archival tiers where a balance of capacity and performance is needed
