Enterprise SAS storage
The Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1200 is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 64MB cache and a SAS interface. It is built for server and storage-array workloads that demand consistent throughput and high random IOPS in a small form factor. The 14.8mm z-height fits standard enterprise drive bays and hot-swap trays.
Suited for server arrays not laptops
This drive targets administrators deploying primary or tiered storage in rack-mounted servers, JBOD enclosures or blade systems where SAS controllers and backplanes are standard. Buyers needing a drop-in laptop upgrade should look elsewhere because the SAS connector and enterprise firmware require a compatible SAS host adapter or RAID controller. Systems limited to consumer storage interfaces cannot use this device.
SAS interface decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the Serial Attached SCSI interface, which requires a matching SAS HBA, RAID card or backplane with 6Gbit/s signalling. Without that controller infrastructure the drive will not be recognised or powered correctly. Verify your host hardware supports SAS before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What does the 10000 RPM spindle speed mean for real-world server workloads?
The 10000 RPM rotation reduces average latency and sustains higher sequential throughput than slower drives, helping database and transactional workloads that rely on quick random access.
How does the SAS 6 Gbit/s interface limit actual transfer rates?
The SAS 6 Gbit/s link caps the drive's external data rate at 600 MB/s, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that ceiling even if the platters could deliver more.
Will the 14.8 mm height fit my 2.5-inch drive bay?
The drive measures 14.8 mm tall, 70.1 mm wide and 100.6 mm long, so it fits standard 2.5-inch SFF bays that accept 14.8 mm-high devices.
