Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive bare unit

Seagate

Seagate ST9300603SS 300GB 10000RPM 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-3HHB-SW2SY

A 300 GB, 10 000 RPM SAS hard drive with 16 MB cache in a 2.5 inch form factor

  • 300 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 10000 RPM spindle delivers fast data access
  • SAS 6Gb/s interface enables high-throughput connectivity
  • 16 MB cache buffers burst I/O workloads
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays

300 GB 10K SAS enterprise drive

The Seagate ST9300603SS is a 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 300 GB capacity and a 16 MB buffer. It uses a 6 Gb/s SAS interface and is supplied as a bare drive in new condition. This unit targets servers and storage arrays that require fast mechanical storage in a small form factor.

Suits SAS bays needing 10K speed

This drive fits 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap bays that support 6 Gb/s operation and benefit from 10000 RPM rotational speed. It is not for systems that lack a SAS controller or backplane, nor for workloads that require larger capacities or solid-state latency. Buyers needing a 3.5 inch form factor or a different interface should look elsewhere.

6 Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6 Gb/s SAS interface; the drive must connect to a matching SAS port or expander. Verify that your chassis, controller and backplane all support this interface and the 2.5 inch physical size before purchase.

Questions about this item

What drive-bay size and SAS connector does the ST9300603SS require?

The drive uses a 2.5-inch form factor and connects via a 6Gb/s SAS interface, so it fits any 2.5-inch bay with a SAS backplane or cable.

How do I install the drive in a server chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide the bare drive into a 2.5-inch hot-swap tray or caddy, connect the SAS data and power plugs, then configure the drive in the RAID controller BIOS before the OS sees it.

When will the 16MB cache or mechanical parts need replacement?

Enterprise SAS drives at 10000RPM typically run for several years; replace the unit if SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or if the controller logs consistent read errors.
