Blade server storage
This 2.5-inch SATA internal hard drive delivers 300 GB of capacity at 10000 rpm for blade server environments. It fits the IBM BladeCenter family and matches the listed Hewlett Packard HS21 and HS21 XM compatibility.
Hot-swap tray included
The drive ships in a hot-swappable carrier so it can be inserted or removed without powering down the chassis. This reduces service interruption when replacing or adding storage in a live blade enclosure.
1-inch slim form factor
At 1 inch high, 4 inches wide and 5.8 inches deep the unit occupies a single slim bay and weighs approximately 1.08 lb. The SATA/300 interface connects directly to the blade backplane without extra cabling.

Questions about this item
Will the 10000 rpm spindle motor or SATA/300 interface need replacement first?
The 10000 rpm spindle motor is the mechanical component most likely to wear out before the SATA/300 interface requires attention.
Does the 10000 rpm spindle speed or the SATA/300 throughput cap sustained write performance?
The SATA/300 interface caps sustained throughput at 300 MB/s, which becomes the bottleneck before the 10000 rpm spindle reaches its limit.
How much heat and noise does the 10000 rpm drive produce in a 2.5" bay running all day?
The 10000 rpm spindle generates noticeable heat and audible whine in a 2.5" bay during continuous operation, requiring adequate server airflow.
