300 GB 10K SAS Hard Drive

This 2.5-inch enterprise drive delivers 300 GB of storage at 10,000 RPM over a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand consistent throughput and low latency. The new condition ensures full manufacturer specifications from day one.

Suited for SAS environments

This drive fits 2.5-inch bays in servers or external enclosures equipped with a 12Gb/s SAS backplane or controller. It is not for systems that only accept 3.5-inch drives or lack a SAS host adapter. Buyers needing larger capacities or a different interface should consider other models.

SAS 12Gb/s interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface; the host must provide a matching SAS port and protocol support. Without a SAS connection the drive cannot communicate with the system.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM 2.5" SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 10000 RPM spindle generates more heat and acoustic output than slower drives; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow for 2.5" bays and expect audible seek noise under sustained workloads.

What controller or backplane must my system provide for the 12Gb/s SAS interface to function?

A SAS host bus adapter, RAID card or server backplane that supports 12Gb/s SAS signalling is required; the drive will not operate on interfaces that do not speak the SAS protocol.

Can the 300GB 12Gb/s SAS drive share a backplane or RAID array with older 6Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface negotiates down to 6Gb/s, so the drive works alongside older SAS devices on the same backplane or controller, though each device runs at its own rated speed.
