HP 300GB 15000RPM 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s Hard Drive EH0300FBQDD

300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive

The HP EH0300FBQDD is a 300 GB internal hard drive spinning at 15 000 RPM with a 2.5 inch SAS 6 Gb/s interface. It ships new with a Smart Carrier caddy for hot-swap bays. The dual-port design supports redundant controller paths in server chassis.

Suits high-IOPS server workloads

This drive fits 2.5 inch SAS bays that need low latency and sustained random performance. It is not for desktop PCs lacking a SAS controller or backplane, nor for users who need terabytes of capacity in a single spindle. Buyers wanting quiet, low-power storage should look at solid-state alternatives.

300 GB capacity with 15 000 RPM headroom

The 300 GB platter handles transactional databases, virtualisation logs and boot volumes comfortably. Sequential throughput saturates the 6 Gb/s link on large transfers. Random write latency rises once the queue depth exceeds the drive's native command queue, and the 300 GB limit means multiple spindles are required for larger datasets.
