IBM 300GB SAS Enterprise Drive

This IBM HUC156030CSS20 is a 300GB enterprise internal hard drive built for DS8000 storage systems. It operates at 15K RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface and includes self-encrypting drive technology. The 2.5-inch small form factor supports dense deployments in mission-critical environments.

Suits DS8000 operators needing encrypted 15K storage

This drive fits administrators running IBM DS8000 arrays who require high-speed, secure storage for databases and virtualization workloads. It is not intended for buyers who need larger capacities, different form factors, or drives qualified for other storage platforms.

15K RPM spindle speed determines workload fit

The 15K RPM spindle speed delivers the low latency and fast access required for enterprise transaction processing and high-performance applications. Systems that can accommodate this rotational speed and the SAS interface will benefit from consistent throughput under 24/7 operation.

Questions about this item

What drive bay size does the 2.5-inch SFF form factor require for the DS8000?

The drive fits a standard 2.5-inch small form factor bay in the IBM DS8000 storage system.

How is the SAS 6Gb/s interface connected during installation, and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive into the hot-swap carrier until the SAS connector seats firmly; the step often missed is securing the carrier latch to lock the drive in place.

When should the self-encrypting drive be replaced to maintain 24/7 enterprise reliability?

Replace the drive if SMART monitoring reports reallocated sectors, excessive seek errors, or if the drive reaches its rated workload limit for 15K RPM operation.
