W.D. Xe Datacenter 300GB 10,000RPM SAS 6Gb/s 32MB Cache 2.5" 15mm Enterprise Class Hard Drive - WD3001BKHG

WD Xe SAS hard drives provide up to 900 GB of high performance storage suitable for both enterprise server and enterprise storage applications. The ultra fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface enables optimum data reliability, availability, and scalability. In an environment where space and power are limited, the WD Xe drives are an effective solution for high performance computing solutions such as power constrained data centers, database transaction processing, and rack, tower, and blade servers. WD Xe delivers 6 Gb/s transfer rates, sustained sequential data rates up to 204 MB/s, and a fast average read seek time of 3.6 ms. Industry's highest reliability rating at 2 million hours MTBF. This 2.5-inch SAS drive requires less than 8 watts to operate. The small form factor, 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives, allows more system air flow resulting in lower cooling costs. The Dual port, full duplex connectivity Offers higher reliability, performance and data availability by eliminating single points of failure, designed for high availability mission critical enterprise systems. Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) Optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration prone, multi drive chassis. The NoTouch ramp load technology means the recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit. In addition to being ROHS compliant, these drives are built with halogen reduced components.
