HUC101830CSS200 Supermicro 0.3TB SAS 128MB 2.5" HDD

Enterprise 2.5-inch SAS HDD for Boot and Tiered Storage with the HUC101830CSS200

The HUC101830CSS200 is a 2.5-inch internal SAS hard disk engineered for enterprise platforms that require consistent mechanical storage behavior for operating system volumes and controlled-capacity tiers. Designed around CMR recording, the HUC101830CSS200 avoids write-amplification side effects common to shingled media, supporting predictable latency for boot partitions, hypervisor installs, and steady-state log or metadata workloads.

In server and storage architectures using SAS backplanes, expanders, and RAID controllers, the HUC101830CSS200 integrates cleanly as a single-port SAS device with 512n sector formatting to maintain compatibility with existing RAID sets and legacy provisioning standards. A 128MB cache helps smooth burst writes during OS updates and service restarts, while enterprise duty-cycle characteristics and a 2.0M-hour MTBF align with always-on deployment models. For data-at-rest workflows and decommissioning procedures, the HUC101830CSS200 adds Instant Secure Erase (ISE) support to simplify lifecycle handling in controlled environments.

Why Choose the HUC101830CSS200?

The HUC101830CSS200 provides a balanced density-to-reliability profile where deterministic behavior matters more than peak IOPS, such as mirrored boot pools, spare drives for 2.5-inch SAS arrays, and capacity tiers in JBOD/RAID shelves. By standardizing on the HUC101830CSS200, infrastructure teams can reduce integration risk across mixed generations of SAS backplanes, preserve RAID consistency, and scale operational spares with minimal qualification overhead.

Supermicro aligns storage components with data centre operational requirements, emphasizing interoperability, validated server integration, and long-term serviceability. This approach supports consistent firmware and platform behavior across enterprise racks, enabling straightforward maintenance and predictable deployment outcomes.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS volumes for entry servers
• Hypervisor installation media and mirrored boot pools
• Tiered capacity storage in SAS JBOD/RAID shelves
• Legacy 2.5-inch SAS backplane refresh and spares
