300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive

This IBM HUS156030VLS600 is a 300 GB internal hard drive spinning at 15 000 RPM on a 3.5 inch SAS 6 Gbps interface. It ships new with the original IBM System X caddy and shows zero powered-on hours.

Suits high-IOPS server workloads

The 15 000 RPM spindle and SAS interface target transaction-heavy databases, virtualisation hosts and high-performance RAID arrays where low latency matters. It is not for users who need larger capacity per spindle, solid-state silence, or a different physical interface.

Deciding spec: 15 000 RPM spindle speed

The 15 000 RPM rotational speed is the single figure that determines whether this drive meets the random-access latency your workload demands. Verify that your backplane and controller support 3.5 inch SAS 6 Gbps before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I fit the 3.5" SAS HUS156030VLS600 into the supplied IBM System X caddy?

Slide the drive into the tray until the connector seats on the backplane, then secure it with the four side screws before inserting the assembly into the server bay.

What part will need replacement first on a 15000RPM SAS drive run continuously?

The motor and bearing assembly typically reaches its rated service life before the media, so plan a swap after the manufacturer's suggested power-on hours.

At what point does the 6Gbps SAS link become the bottleneck during sustained writes?

Sequential throughput caps at the interface's 6Gbps ceiling, so the bus saturates before the 15000RPM platters reach their maximum media rate.
