Enterprise 300GB 15000 RPM SAS drive

This new Seagate ST300MP0106 is a 2.5 inch enterprise hard drive built for high-transaction servers and storage arrays. It spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface with a 256MB cache. The bare-drive packaging suits system integrators and IT departments refreshing compatible bays.

Suited for primary enterprise workloads not bulk

The 300GB capacity and 15000 RPM spindle target databases, virtualization hosts and tier-one applications that demand low latency. Buyers who need more storage per bay or a lower cost per gigabyte should look at larger nearline drives. Desktop PCs and consumer NAS units without a SAS controller cannot use this drive.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive requires a backplane or controller that supports the SAS 12Gb/s standard. Without that link the drive will not negotiate a connection or deliver its rated throughput. Verify the host adapter and cabling match this interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the drive spins at 15000 RPM after installation?

Check the SMART data or system BIOS for a reported spindle speed of 15000 RPM and confirm the SAS 12Gb/s link rate is active.

The packaging is listed as Bare Drive — what exactly ships in the box and what must I supply?

Only the ST300MP0106 drive itself is included; you must provide a SAS 12Gb/s cable, a compatible 2.5" drive bay or adapter, and a SAS controller or backplane.

This model is a single 300GB 15000 RPM SAS drive — how do I decide if this capacity and speed suit my workload?

Choose this 300GB 15000 RPM SAS drive when you need low-latency enterprise performance for transactional databases or high-IOPS applications within a 2.5" form factor.
