Seagate 300GB 15K SAS Enterprise Drive
The Seagate ST300MP0006 is a 300GB enterprise hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a SAS 12GB/s interface and 256MB cache. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand low latency and high sustained throughput in a 2.5-inch form factor.
Suits latency-sensitive workloads.
This drive suits applications such as transactional databases, high-performance computing nodes, and tier-0 storage where the 2.0ms average latency and 300 to 210 MB/s sustained transfer rate matter. It is not for buyers who need more terabytes per spindle, nor for systems that lack a 12GB/s SAS host bus adapter or backplane.
15000RPM spindle speed decides fit
The 15000RPM spindle speed is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part; it delivers the 2.0ms average latency and 1200 MB/s external transfer rate that define the drive's performance envelope. If the workload can use that speed profile, the drive matches; if the priority is lower power or higher capacity at lower RPM, a different class of drive is required.

Questions about this item
What replacement interval should I plan for a 15000RPM enterprise SAS drive under heavy workloads?
Enterprise 15K drives are built for continuous operation; monitor SMART attributes and replace when reallocated sectors or seek errors begin to rise.
Which limit appears first during sustained transfers — the 300 to 210 MB/s media rate or the 1200 MB/s SAS interface?
The media sustains 300 to 210 MB/s from outer to inner diameter, so the physical platter speed is the bottleneck long before the 12Gb/s interface saturates.
How much heat and noise does the drive produce when running all day at 6.90W operating power?
Typical operating power is 6.90W with a 5V/12V draw of 6.90A; expect modest warmth and audible seek noise characteristic of a 15000RPM spindle.
