SKU CH-746A-A7H2H

A 300 GB 15 000 RPM 3.5" SAS internal hard drive with hot-swap caddy for enterprise servers

  • 300 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 15000 RPM rotational speed delivers fast data access
  • SAS 3Gb/s interface enables reliable server connectivity
  • Hot-swap design with included caddy allows drive replacement without downtime
  • New condition IBM XSERIES drive ready for immediate deployment

300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive

This 3.5 inch internal hard drive delivers 300 GB of storage on a SAS 3 Gb/s interface spinning at 15 000 RPM. It is built for IBM xSeries servers and workstations that require high-speed enterprise storage. The unit ships with an xSeries hot-swap caddy for direct bay installation.

Sustained enterprise workloads

The 15 000 RPM spindle maintains consistent throughput for transaction-heavy applications such as databases and email servers. SAS dual-port architecture provides path redundancy so the drive stays accessible during controller or cable faults. Mechanical latency remains low across extended duty cycles rather than only in short bursts.

Verify SAS backplane and bay

Confirm the host system has a 3.5 inch hot-swap SAS backplane that supports 3 Gb/s signalling and supplies the correct power pinout for the included caddy. Check that the RAID or HBA firmware recognises the HUS154530VLS300 model before deployment. Ensure the chassis provides adequate airflow for a 15 000 RPM enterprise drive.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 15000RPM SAS drive generate during continuous operation?

The 15000RPM spindle speed means higher sustained power draw and heat output than slower drives, so ensure your server chassis provides adequate airflow for 3.5" hot-swap bays.

What server backplane or controller is needed to run this 3Gb/s SAS drive?

You need a SAS backplane or HBA that supports 3Gb/s SAS signalling and 3.5" hot-swap bays; the included XSERIES caddy fits IBM XSERIES drive trays.

Can the 300GB SAS drive share a backplane with older 3.5" SCSI drives?

No, SAS and parallel SCSI use different signalling and connectors, so this drive cannot share the same backplane with legacy SCSI drives.
