Product Features
Technical Overview
This hard drive operates at 10000 RPM, providing fast seek times and reduced latency compared to lower-speed drives. The 12Gb/s SAS interface doubles the bandwidth of previous 6Gb/s generations, enabling higher sequential read and write speeds while maintaining full backward compatibility with 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS infrastructures.
The 2.5-inch form factor allows dense storage configurations in rack-mounted servers and blade systems, optimizing space and power efficiency. Hot-swap capability is integral to the design, permitting drive replacement or addition while the host system remains powered on and operational.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Spindle Speed (rpm). When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This drive combines enterprise-grade reliability with performance-oriented specifications to meet the demands of data center and server room deployments. The 12Gb/s SAS interface ensures data integrity and supports multipath I/O for fault-tolerant configurations.
High-Speed Data Transfer
The 12Gb/s SAS interface maximizes throughput for applications requiring rapid data access, such as database transactions, virtualization hosts, and high-performance computing workloads.
- Doubles bandwidth of 6Gb/s SAS
- Backward compatible with older SAS standards
Server-Grade Durability
Engineered for 24/7 operation in enterprise environments, this drive is built to withstand the thermal and vibrational stresses typical in rack-mounted server deployments.
- 10000 RPM spindle for consistent performance
- Hot-swap design for uninterrupted uptime
Space-Efficient Design
The 2.5-inch small form factor allows higher drive density per server chassis compared to 3.5-inch drives, enabling more storage capacity in the same physical footprint.
- Ideal for blade servers and dense configurations
- Reduces power consumption per terabyte
Deployment / Use Cases
This hard drive is specifically validated for Cisco UCS server platforms, including UCS B-Series blade servers and C-Series rack servers. It serves as direct replacement storage for applications requiring balanced performance and capacity in enterprise computing environments.
Typical deployments include database servers where the 10000 RPM speed reduces query latency, virtualization hosts that benefit from the SAS interface's multipath capabilities, and general-purpose enterprise servers that require reliable, hot-swappable storage components. The drive is also suitable for read-intensive workloads and applications where consistent I/O performance is more critical than maximum capacity.

FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive offers 600GB of storage capacity. This provides substantial space for operating systems, applications, databases, and user data in enterprise server environments, balancing performance with usable storage for many business workloads.
What spindle speed does this drive operate at?
The drive operates at 10000 RPM (revolutions per minute). This higher rotational speed compared to 7200 RPM drives results in faster seek times and reduced latency, making it suitable for performance-sensitive applications like database servers and virtualization hosts.
What type of interface does this hard drive use?
This drive uses a 12Gb/s SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS provides enterprise features including full duplex operation, multipath I/O for redundancy, and enhanced error correction. The 12Gb/s specification doubles the bandwidth of previous 6Gb/s SAS generations while maintaining backward compatibility.
What form factor is this hard drive?
This is a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) drive. The 2.5-inch size allows higher drive density in server chassis compared to 3.5-inch drives, making it ideal for blade servers, dense rack configurations, and environments where space optimization is important.
Is this hard drive hot-swappable?
Yes, this drive is hot-swappable. This means it can be installed or removed while the server is powered on and operational, allowing for maintenance, expansion, or replacement without requiring system downtime—a critical feature for enterprise environments requiring high availability.
Is this drive compatible with Cisco UCS servers?
Yes, this drive is specifically designed and validated for Cisco UCS server platforms. It is compatible with UCS B-Series blade servers and C-Series rack servers, ensuring proper recognition, management, and performance within the UCS ecosystem when used as a replacement or expansion drive.
