300GB 15K SAS enterprise drive
This HP 3953088 is a 300GB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 12Gb/s interface. It ships new in retail or OEM packing and includes a hot-swap tray for tool-less installation. The 15K spindle speed targets workloads that demand fast random access.
Suits 12Gb/s bays needing hot-swap
The drive fits 2.5 inch SAS bays that run at 12Gb/s and support hot-swap trays. It is not for systems that only accept 3.5 inch form factors or that lack a SAS backplane. Buyers who need larger capacity per spindle should look at higher-density models.
12Gb/s SAS interface decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. The host controller and backplane must both support this speed and the SAS protocol. Without a matching 12Gb/s SAS connection the drive will not operate as intended.

Questions about this item
Will the 2.5 inch 7 mm form factor fit my server drive bay?
The drive uses a 2.5 inch small form factor with a 7 mm height and ships with an integrated hot-swap tray for direct bay insertion.
How do I install the SAS 12 Gb/s interface correctly?
Insert the tray into a compatible SAS 12 Gb/s backplane until the connector seats firmly; the common error is stopping before the latch clicks.
When should I plan to replace the 15 000 RPM mechanism?
Enterprise drives at 15 000 RPM typically reach their rated workload limit after five years of continuous operation; monitor SMART reallocated-sector counts for early warning.
