Description
Overview
The HPE 300GB 6G SAS 10K RPM 2.5-inch Dual Port Hard Drive is a high-performance enterprise storage solution designed for HPE ProLiant servers and compatible storage systems. As part of HPE’s SAS hard drive family, this drive delivers fast data access, high reliability, and robust operation for business-critical workloads in data centers, virtualization clusters, and high-throughput enterprise environments.
Fast and Efficient 10K RPM Performance
This hard drive operates at a 10,000 RPM rotational speed, enabling faster read and write times compared to lower-speed drives. Combined with a 6Gb/s SAS interface, it provides consistent throughput and rapid data delivery — ideal for applications where
300GB Capacity with Dual Port SAS
The 300GB capacity is an excellent choice for performance-oriented storage deployments requiring a balance between speed and space. Its dual-port SAS design allows redundant connections, improving failover support and availability in enterprise RAID architectures. Dual port capability ensures that data pathways remain active even if a route becomes unavailable, which is critical for minimizing downtime in mission-critical systems.
2.5-Inch Small Form Factor (SFF)
The compact 2.5-inch small form factor enables high drive densities in server chassis while maximizing rack space utilization. This form factor supports efficient airflow and cooling, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures in multi-drive configurations. Its smaller footprint also makes it suitable for modern 1U and 2U rack-mounted servers where space is at a premium.
Enterprise SAS Advantages
The SAS interface is engineered for enterprise applications, offering superior error recovery, advanced queuing, and consistent performance under load. Compared with SATA drives, SAS drives like this one provide better reliability, dual-port connectivity, and integration with advanced RAID controllers — features that are essential in business environments where data integrity and uptime matter most.
HPE ProLiant Compatibility
Designed and validated by HPE, this 300GB SAS drive integrates seamlessly with a range of HPE ProLiant server generations, depending on controller and backplane support. Whether deployed in Gen8, Gen9, or Gen10 systems, the drive works effectively with HPE Smart Array controllers, enabling optimized RAID configurations and centralized manageability through HPE tools.
Hot-Plug Support and Reliability
Built for enterprise reliability, this drive supports hot-plug insertion and removal, allowing IT administrators to replace or upgrade drives without shutting down the server. This capability makes maintenance and upgrades easier and helps reduce server downtime — a key advantage for 24/7 operations in data centers.
