HPE 300GB 10K SAS 2,5 inch Dual-Port Enterprise-harddisk (DG0300BARTQ)

Server storage bottlenecks can cripple database response times and virtual machine density. The HPE DG0300BARTQ 300GB 10K SAS 2.5-inch dual-port enterprise hard drive eliminates I/O contention with a 6Gb/s SAS interface and 10,000 RPM spindle speed, delivering the predictable low-latency performance that 24x7 business-critical applications demand.

Who is it for

IT administrators and system integrators managing HPE ProLiant Gen6 through Gen9 servers who need reliable, hot-swappable storage for RAID arrays, boot volumes, or high-transaction databases. It is equally suited for small businesses consolidating workloads and enterprises refreshing existing server fleets without migrating to all-flash.

Main features

• 300GB formatted capacity with native 512n sector size for broad OS and hypervisor compatibility.
• Dual-port 6Gb/s SAS connectivity for redundant paths and failover in clustered or high-availability configurations.
• 10,000 RPM rotational speed and 16MB cache deliver average read seek times of just 3.9ms.
• 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) with hot-swap support enables tool-less drive replacement in compatible ProLiant drive bays.
• Enterprise-class reliability: 1.6 million hours MTBF and SMART monitoring for proactive failure prediction.
• Typical operating power consumption of only 8.5W reduces energy costs in dense storage enclosures.
