WD3001BKHG WD XE Enterprise 0.3TB SAS 32MB 2.5" Server HDD

High-Performance 2.5in Enterprise SAS HDD for transactional IOPS and resilient boot tiers with the WD3001BKHG

The WD3001BKHG is a 2.5in enterprise HDD engineered for SAS-based server and storage arrays where predictable latency and consistent small-block performance are required for OS and transactional tiers. In mixed CPU platform environments, the WD3001BKHG supports dense boot volume deployments and log-oriented workloads by combining a 10K RPM spindle with CMR recording to maintain stable write behavior under sustained activity.

Designed for backplanes and controllers with SAS expanders, the WD3001BKHG integrates cleanly into PCIe-attached RAID/HBA architectures by presenting a deterministic block device profile that is easy to queue, mirror, and rebuild. Its 32MB cache supports command coalescing and read efficiency, while enterprise vibration management helps preserve IOPS consistency in multi-drive chassis, aligning the drive with high-availability storage layouts and serviceable, hot-swap operational models.

Why Choose the WD3001BKHG?

The WD3001BKHG delivers a practical density-to-performance balance for 2.5in SAS bays, enabling reliable boot/OS pools, mirrored system volumes, and write-intensive transactional staging without consuming high-value SSD capacity. With enterprise reliability targets and predictable behavior under RAID, the WD3001BKHG scales well across standardized server images and repeatable rack-level deployments.

WD enterprise engineering focuses on sustained duty-cycle operation and data center readiness. The WD3001BKHG incorporates protective mechanics such as NoTouch ramp load and RAFF vibration compensation to support stable operation in high-density enclosures, while RoHS compliance aligns with modern procurement and environmental requirements.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS volumes in rack servers
• Transactional databases and logs
• Virtualization host system disks
• High-IOPS scratch and application storage for workstations
