Product Information

The Fujitsu 300GB SAS internal hard disk drive has a maximum internal data transfer rate of 179 Mbps. The platters spin at 15,000 RPM to ensure the reading and transfer of data is efficient and timely. A large cache capacity of 16MB allows users to quickly return to frequently loaded pages and applications from a faster cache memory. The average seek and write times are 3.4ms and 3.9ms respectively with only a 2ms latency. The four-platter configuration improves reliability and allows for lower power consumption on top of faster data rates. This further improves the efficiency of an already fast SAS disk.Each Fujitsu MBA3300RC SAS hard drive is made with Dell desktops in mind. It fits even most small form factor Dell machines quite well. By using industry-standard components, this Fujitsu MBA3300RC hard drive also supports many other manufacturers. If you're into building your own machines, then you can use a Dell motherboard with a generic drive bay. Any number of hardware interface controllers should still recognize the Fujitsu MBA3300RC HDD just fine.Fujitsu rated Hitachi, Seagate, and IBM controllers fully compatible with their MBA3300RC SAS hard drives. All controllers compatible with onboard SCSI software spin the MBA3300RC SAS to 15k RPM. IBM serial attached SCSI controllers in Dell PowerEdge servers use fibre channel technology, ensuring 15k hard drive speeds. Dell PowerEdge servers need these 15k speeds from their hard drive devices. Some creative people have used IBM fibre channel cables and Dell PowerEdge power supplies to make their own servers at home.All IBM-compatible enterprise software works with a Fujitsu SAS hard drive. If you need 15k hard drives with 300GB of space to power home email servers, try the MBA3300RC SAS. That huge 300GB capacity can be partitioned as a warranty against data loss. Dealing with data loss is hard, especially if you have IBM servers to watch. You won't have to worry about losing data on these drives if power supplies fail on you. Fujitsu 15k SAS drives support both MBR and GUID partitioning.MBR partitioning is the original IBM DOS label method. All servers support this legacy IBM technology, and Fujitsu made sure their drives work with it. Newer Dell servers support GUID partitioning. IBM partitions made in this way can boot new UEFI servers. You can split your 300GB hard drives into two 150GB hard drives in this manner. Use these two logical hard drives for mirrored storage solutions. You can mount one of the two hard drives as a live IBM file system. The other half of your 300GB of storage capacity can act as a backup volume for your servers. SAS devices can really make running servers much easier.This serves as a perfect drop-in replacement for Dell or IBM N226K hard drives too. If you're looking to replace any 15000RPM hard drives in these controllers, then this is the right model. The power supplies in existing Dell PowerEdge machines won't have any problem spinning up Fujitsu SAS hard drives. The SAS volume can help you run everything from gaming servers to IBM mainframes.
