IBM 300 GB 10 000 RPM SAS Drive

This new 2.5 inch internal hard drive from IBM delivers 300 GB of storage on a 6 Gbps SAS interface. It spins at 10 000 RPM and includes a 64 MB buffer along with an IBM SYSTEM STORAGE caddy tray. The drive suits servers and storage arrays that require this specific form factor and connection.

Suits SAS bays needing 300 GB at 10k RPM

Administrators replacing a failed drive in an IBM SYSTEM STORAGE enclosure or a compatible 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap bay will find the correct interface speed and physical fit here. It is not for systems lacking a 6 Gbps SAS backplane or for workloads demanding higher capacity or solid-state latency.

6 Gbps SAS interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the 6 Gbps SAS connection paired with the 2.5 inch form factor and included caddy. Verify that your controller and backplane support this exact interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller or backplane do I need to connect this 6Gbps drive?

A SAS controller or backplane that supports 6Gbps SAS is required; the drive uses a standard 2.5in SAS connector and will negotiate down to 3Gbps if the host only supports that speed.

Will this 10000RPM SAS drive work in a server that currently uses 3Gbps SAS drives?

Yes, the HUC106030CSS600 is backward compatible and will operate at 3Gbps when installed in a 3Gbps SAS backplane or controller.

How can I verify the 64MB cache is active after installation?

Check the drive’s reported cache size in the RAID controller BIOS, operating system disk utility, or SMART data — it should show 64MB.
