Seagate Savvio 10K.5 300GB 2.5" 10K RPM SAS 6Gb/s Internal HDD

The Seagate ST9300605SS is a Savvio 10K.5 series internal hard drive that offers 300 GB of dependable storage in a 2.5-inch frame. Built for enterprise workloads, it connects through a 6 Gb/s SAS interface, giving servers and storage arrays a steady, low-latency pathway for data.

With a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM and a 64 MB cache, the drive delivers faster seek times than typical 7,200 RPM models, which helps databases, virtual machines, and transaction-heavy applications respond quickly. The sustained transfer rate keeps read and write operations smooth during peak activity, an essential trait for environments where downtime is not an option.

The 15 mm height allows the drive to slide into standard 2.5-inch enterprise bays, including dense blade servers and compact rack units where space saving is critical. IT teams can deploy it as primary storage for frequently accessed files or as a performance tier in hybrid arrays that mix solid-state and mechanical media.

System administrators who need a balance of speed, capacity, and proven mechanical reliability will find this drive well suited to tasks such as virtual desktop hosting, email servers, and any mission-critical workload that must remain online around the clock.

Highlights:

• 6 Gb/s SAS interface for enterprise-class throughput
• 10,000 RPM spindle speed supports quick access times
• 64 MB onboard cache reduces latency during heavy I/O
• 2.5-inch form factor with 15 mm height fits standard server bays
• Engineered for continuous duty in mission-critical servers and storage arrays
