HDD HPE 300GB 2.5 inch SAS 10000 RPM 507284-001

The HPE 300GB 2.5" SAS 10000 RPM 507284-001 is a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) internal hard drive designed for enterprise storage systems. It provides 300 GB of formatted capacity, a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and a dual-port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface with 6 Gb/s transfer capability. The drive is intended for use in servers and storage arrays where a balance of performance, reliability and compact footprint is required.

Advantages

The drive delivers consistent read/write performance thanks to a 10,000 RPM rotational speed and SAS connectivity, enabling low-latency access and higher sustained throughput compared with lower-speed mechanical drives. Its 2.5" SFF design reduces space requirements in dense server chassis and supports hot-swap operation for easy maintenance and minimal downtime. Dual-port SAS provides path redundancy for improved availability in enterprise configurations.

Suitable for

• Server boot and operating system volumes in enterprise racks
• Database and transactional workloads requiring low latency
• Storage arrays and RAID configurations where density and reliability matter
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure nodes

Key specifications

• Capacity: 300 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF)
• Interface: Dual-port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), 6 Gb/s
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM
• Hot-swap support: yes

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible server or storage array bay designed for 2.5" SAS drives, following the chassis and backplane manufacturer instructions. Ensure the host controller supports 6 Gb/s SAS and dual-port operation if redundancy is required. For hot-swap bays, power and network can remain active while inserting or removing the drive; follow your system's safe removal and insertion procedures to avoid data corruption. After installation, initialize and format the drive within the operating system or RAID controller according to your storage layout and partitioning plan.

Recommendations

Use this 300 GB 10,000 RPM SAS drive in RAID configurations or as part of tiered storage to balance performance and capacity. Monitor drive health via SMART or your server management tools, maintain current firmware through vendor updates, and implement regular backups. For highest availability, deploy dual-port connections and redundant controllers when supported by the system.
