Seagate Savvio 15K.3 300GB 2.5" 15000RPM SAS 6Gb/s Internal HDD

The Seagate ST9300653SS is a hard drive built for data centers and enterprise servers that demand both speed and consistent uptime. With a 2.5 inch form factor and a 300 GB capacity, it fits easily into dense rack systems while still giving administrators the rotational performance of a 15,000 RPM spindle.

Through its 6 Gb/s SAS interface and 64 MB cache, the drive moves data quickly and maintains low queue times even when multiple users or virtual machines are hitting it at once. The average latency of 2 ms helps databases, transaction-heavy applications, and real-time analytics finish tasks without waiting on storage.

Reliability and security are central to the Savvio design. The drive offers a proven annualized failure rate of 0.44 percent, and it supports Protection Information to ensure end-to-end data integrity. When it is time to retire or redeploy the drive, Instant Secure Erase removes data in seconds. Models that include Self-Encrypting Drive capability add an extra layer of compliance for regulated environments.

Administrators who run blade servers, high-performance clusters, or storage arrays will appreciate how the small footprint reduces power and cooling requirements without sacrificing throughput. Whether you are expanding an existing fleet or replacing older 3.5 inch drives, the ST9300653SS delivers enterprise-class performance in a space-saving design.
