A silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive mounted in a black server caddy

IBM

IBM ST9300653SS 300GB 15000RPM 2.5" SAS internal hard drive with caddy

SKU CH-W1H9-FGBT7

300 GB 15000 RPM 2.5 inch SAS internal hard drive includes a caddy for hot-swap server bays

  • 300 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 15000 RPM spindle enables fast data access
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface provides high-throughput connectivity
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays
  • Includes SYSTEM X caddy for tool-less installation

Capacity and interface

This is a 300GB 2.5in SAS hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a 6Gbps interface. It targets servers and storage arrays that need fast, small-form-factor storage for transactional workloads.

Installation notes

The drive ships with a SYSTEM X caddy for hot-swap bays, so it slides directly into compatible 2.5in slots. Verify that your backplane supports 6Gbps SAS and supplies adequate power for 15K RPM operation before fitting.

Pre-order checks

Confirm the controller or HBA presents a SAS 6Gbps port and that the firmware recognises the ST9300653SS model. Ensure the chassis has a free 2.5in hot-swap bay and that cooling can handle the higher spindle speed.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ST9300653SS is spinning at 15000RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in your server's BIOS or RAID controller utility; it should show 15000RPM for this model.

Does the 00AJ082 00AJ081 00AJ085 package include the SYSTEM X caddy, or must I buy a tray separately?

The listing confirms the SYSTEM X caddy and tray are included with the 2.5" SAS hard drive, so no separate tray purchase is needed.

Which part number — 00AJ082, 00AJ081, or 00AJ085 — should I select for a 300GB 15K SAS drive?

All three part numbers refer to the same ST9300653SS 300GB 15000RPM 2.5" SAS drive with caddy; choose the one matching your server's FRU list.
