HPE 300GB 10K SAS 2.5 inch Dual Port Enterprise Hard Drive (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.
