Refurbished 300GB 10K SAS drive

The Seagate Savvio 10K.5 ST9300605SS is a refurbished 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 64MB cache. It connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface and offers 300GB of capacity in a 15mm z-height form factor. Average read seek time is 3.4 ms and write seek time is 3.8 ms.

Suits servers needing 15mm SAS drives.

This drive fits systems that accept a 15mm 2.5-inch SAS drive and require 10K RPM performance. It is not suitable for laptops or arrays limited to 7mm drive heights. Buyers needing larger capacities or a different interface should consider other options.

SAS 6Gb/s interface dictates controller choice

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the host controller or backplane must support this protocol. Without a compatible SAS connection the drive cannot operate.

Questions about this item

How does the 10000 RPM speed affect real-world access times in a laptop or server?

The 10000 RPM spindle yields a 3ms average latency and 3.4 ms read seek time, so random I/O completes noticeably faster than standard laptop drives.

What practical limit does the SAS 6Gb/s interface impose on this drive?

The SAS 6Gb/s interface connects the drive to the controller at up to 6 Gb/s, but sustained transfer rates are still bounded by the mechanical platters and 64MB cache.

Will the 15mm height fit in my 2.5-inch drive bay or caddy?

The drive measures 15mm tall, 70.10mm wide and 100.45mm long, so it fits standard 2.5-inch bays that accept 15mm z-height drives.
