Enterprise SAS drive in 3.5-inch frame

The Toshiba MBF230LRC is a 300GB enterprise hard drive that spins at 10025 RPM with a 16MB cache. It uses a 6 Gbps SAS-2 interface and mounts a 2.5-inch mechanism inside a 3.5-inch SAS LFF frame. The design targets servers and storage arrays that require this specific form factor.

Suits SAS bays needing the LFF frame

This drive fits 3.5-inch hot-swap bays wired for SAS where a 2.5-inch enterprise unit is preferred for power efficiency. It is not suitable for systems that only accept native 3.5-inch mechanisms or for builds requiring a different interface or larger capacity.

6 Gbps SAS-2 interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 6 Gbps SAS-2 interface combined with the 3.5-inch LFF frame dimensions of 15mm height, 69.85mm width and 100.45mm length. The host must provide a matching SAS backplane and physical bay.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the drive spins at 10025 RPM after installation?

The SAS controller BIOS or operating system utilities will report the spindle speed; a healthy drive shows 10025 RPM with no SMART reallocated-sector warnings.

What comes in the box and what must I provide?

The drive ships in retail or OEM packing; you must supply a SAS 6Gb/s backplane or HBA, power and data cables, and a 3.5-inch bay or adapter for the 2.5-inch unit in its LFF frame.

Which capacity version should I choose for this model?

This MPN is the 300GB variant; select it when you need that exact capacity in a 2.5-inch enterprise drive mounted in a 3.5-inch SAS LFF frame.
