HDD Hewlett Packard Enterprise 300GB SFF 12G 15K 862125-001

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise 300GB SFF 12G 15K hard drive is a performance-focused storage device designed for enterprise server and storage systems. With 300GB of formatted capacity, a 15,000 RPM spindle speed and a 12G SAS interface, this drive delivers low-latency read/write access and consistent throughput for transactional databases, virtualized workloads and tiered storage arrays. Its small form factor (SFF) optimizes rack density while providing the durability and reliability expected in datacenter environments.

Advantages

This 300GB SFF 12G 15K HDD combines high rotational speed and an enterprise SAS interface to provide fast random I/O and predictable performance under sustained load. The compact SFF design enables higher drive density in enclosures and blades, supporting efficient use of rack space. It is engineered for continuous operation with thermal and vibration tolerances suitable for server chassis and storage trays.

Suitable for

• Transactional databases and OLTP systems that require low latency
• Virtual machine hosts and hyperconverged infrastructures
• Tiered storage layers where high IOPS and predictable performance are needed
• Enterprise RAID arrays and storage shelves in data centers

Key specifications

• Storage capacity: 300 GB
• Form factor: Small Form Factor (2.5-inch)
• Interface: 12G SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Rotational speed: 15,000 RPM
• Drive type: Enterprise HDD optimized for high random I/O
• Typical use: 24/7 datacenter operation

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible server or storage enclosure that supports 2.5-inch SFF SAS drives and a 12G SAS backplane. Follow the server or chassis manufacturer's instructions for hot-swap insertion or secure mounting. Configure the drive within the system BIOS/UEFI or the storage controller firmware, and include it in RAID arrays or logical volumes according to your redundancy and performance requirements. Monitor drive health using system management tools and SMART reporting available through the host controller.

Recommendations

Use this enterprise HDD in environments that require sustained high-performance random I/O and predictable latency. Pair with appropriate RAID levels and hot-spare configurations for redundancy, and ensure adequate cooling and vibration control within the enclosure. Regularly update firmware via vendor tools and monitor SMART attributes to detect early signs of wear.
