Description

Engineered for enterprise-scale storage, the Cisco 300 GB 2.5-inch internal SAS hard drive delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and density for data centers, servers, and storage arrays. This high-speed 15,000 RPM drive is built to maximize throughput and minimize latency for latency-sensitive workloads such as databases, virtualization, and critical service applications. With a compact 2.5-inch form factor, it fits neatly into dense server shelves and hot-plug backplanes, enabling rapid deployment and scalable storage growth without sacrificing footprint or power efficiency. The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface at 12 Gb/s provides robust data integrity and high-bandwidth transfers, ensuring smooth data movement across multi-drive enclosures and backplanes. For organizations pursuing predictable performance under heavy I/O, this Cisco drive offers enterprise-grade reliability, consistent performance, and a design purpose-built to endure continuous operation in demanding IT environments. Whether you’re expanding a server, upgrading an enclosure, or provisioning dedicated OS volumes and caches, this 300 GB SAS drive is a dependable choice that helps keep mission-critical workloads responsive and available.

  • High-Performance 15,000 RPM mechanical drive designed for fast random I/O and high sequential throughput. The 15K RPM spindle speed significantly reduces access times, delivering quicker boot, load, and transaction times for databases, virtualized environments, and latency-sensitive applications. This speed advantage translates into improved user experience and faster data-driven decisions across enterprise workloads.
  • Compact 2.5-inch Form Factor optimizes rack density and cooling in dense servers and storage arrays. The smaller footprint simplifies cabling and improves airflow within chassis, enabling more drives per rack and easier upgrade paths. Its enterprise-grade build supports hot-plug chassis and rapid field deployment, making it ideal for data-center expansion and maintenance windows.
  • 12 Gb/s SAS Interface delivers scalable, high-bandwidth data transfers with strong error correction and reliability. The SAS interface supports multi-drive backplanes and back-end connectivity to storage controllers, ensuring consistent throughput as workloads grow. This enables efficient data movement across large storage arrays and reduces bottlenecks in busy I/O environments.
  • Optimized 300 GB Capacity provides a compact yet capable storage base for operating systems, service volumes, high-demand caches, and targeted data sets. The capacity is well-suited for OS disks in servers, dedicated database caches, and fast-access data tiers, allowing you to maximize performance without overprovisioning storage space.
  • Enterprise-Grade Reliability for Continuous Operation built to withstand the rigors of data center workloads. The drive is designed to maintain steady performance under sustained I/O, with robust construction and error-management features favored in mission-critical environments. This reliability translates to higher uptime, reduced maintenance, and predictable service levels for enterprise applications.

How to install Cisco 300 GB SAS 2.5" Internal Hard Drive

  • Power down the server or storage array and disconnect all power sources to prevent electrical shock or damage.
  • Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling the drive. Use an anti-static wrist strap if available.
  • Open the chassis or drive enclosure to access an available 2.5-inch drive bay that matches the drive’s form factor.
  • Carefully slide the Cisco 300 GB SAS drive into the drive bay, aligning the connectors with the backplane or SAS controller.
  • Secure the drive using the bay’s mounting mechanism (screws or hot-plug tray) as required by your chassis. Ensure there is no strain on the cables.
  • Connect the SAS data and power cables to the backplane or controller, verifying a firm engagement and proper routing to avoid obstructing fans or airflow.
  • Close the chassis, reattach any panels, and restore power. Enter the system’s BIOS/UEFI or storage management utility to confirm the drive is detected and initialize if required by your environment.
  • Format and configure the drive as needed for its role (OS disk, cache, or data tier) and verify read/write performance under typical workloads.
