  • 10 000 RPM spindle speed cuts file-access latency
  • 300 GB capacity stores operating system and core applications

300GB 10000 RPM SATA Drive

This 3.5 inch desktop hard drive delivers 300GB of storage on a SATA 6Gb/s interface with a 10000 RPM spindle speed and 32MB cache. It is built for users who prioritise low latency and quick random access over raw capacity. The package includes an ICEPACK caddy for secure mounting in a standard drive bay. Condition is new with zero powered hours reported.

Suits Latency Sensitive Workloads

The high rotational speed benefits operating system boots, database indexes and scratch disks where rapid seek times matter. Buyers who need several terabytes for media libraries or backups should consider larger capacity drives instead. The 300GB limit also makes it unsuitable as a sole drive for modern game installations or video editing projects. Systems without a free 3.5 inch bay or SATA port cannot use this unit.

10000 RPM Spindle Speed

The 10000 RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive matches the workload. It provides faster access times than standard desktop drives but produces more heat and noise. Verify that the chassis cooling and noise tolerance align with this characteristic before purchase.

Questions about this item

How long does the 10000RPM spindle speed sustain before thermal throttling?

The drive spins at a constant 10000RPM with a 32MB buffer and SATA 6Gb/s interface; sustained throughput is limited by the mechanical rotation speed and cache size.

What noise and heat output should I expect when the WD3000HLHX runs continuously?

At 10000RPM the 3.5-inch drive produces typical high-performance HDD acoustics and warmth; the included ICEPACK caddy aids airflow in a standard desktop bay.

Which existing caddy or bracket do I need to mount this 3.5-inch SATA drive?

The drive uses a standard 3.5-inch SATA form factor and ships with an ICEPACK caddy; it fits any desktop bay or backplane that accepts 3.5-inch SATA drives.
