Enterprise 2.5-inch SAS drive

The Seagate Savvio 10K.5 ST9300605SS is a new 300GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a 10000 RPM spindle and 64MB cache. It connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface and fits a 15mm drive bay. The supplier notes it is ideal for servers and external storage arrays.

Suits mission-critical servers, not desktops

This drive targets administrators who need high-capacity 10K-RPM storage in a small form factor for mission-critical servers or external arrays. Buyers wanting a drive for a desktop PC or standard laptop should look elsewhere because the SAS interface requires a compatible controller. The bare-drive packaging also means no mounting hardware or cables are included.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the system must provide a SAS backplane or controller that supports this link speed. Without that connection the drive cannot communicate with the host. Verify the controller before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 300 GB Savvio 10K.5 or a different capacity for my server?

The ST9300605SS is the 300 GB model in the Savvio 10K.5 line; other capacity points share the same 2.5-inch, 15 mm platform so the choice depends only on how much space you need.

What does 10000 RPM actually deliver inside a mission-critical server?

At 10000 RPM the drive averages 3 ms latency, giving the quick random access that transaction-heavy workloads and external storage arrays demand.

How does the SAS 6Gb/s interface limit real-world throughput?

The 6 Gb/s SAS link caps the maximum burst rate at 6 Gb/s, so sustained transfers will sit below that ceiling depending on the 64 MB cache and 10000 RPM mechanics.
