The faster RPM results in quicker data retrieval and reduced latency, making it well-suited for applications where speed is of the essence, such as databases, virtualization, and online transaction processing.
Form Factor
The Small Form Factor (SFF) of the HP DG0300FAMWN is designed to optimize space utilization within servers and storage systems. This compact size enables enterprises to maximize storage density, accommodating more drives in a given physical space. The SFF is especially beneficial for environments with limited rack space or where scalability is a priority.
Interface
Equipped with a 2-port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface operating at 6 gigabits per second (GBPS), the HP DG0300FAMWN ensures efficient and reliable data transfer. The SAS interface enhances the HDD’s performance and reliability in comparison to traditional SATA interfaces, making it an excellent choice for enterprise-grade storage solutions.
PerformanceSpeed and Response Time
The 10,000 RPM rotational speed of the HP DG0300FAMWN contributes to its impressive data transfer rates and low latency. This results in faster read and write operations, enhancing overall system responsiveness. The drive’s speed is particularly advantageous in scenarios where quick access to data is critical for optimal application performance.
Reliability
Enterprise environments demand high levels of reliability, and the HP DG0300FAMWN meets this requirement through its robust design and enterprise-grade components. With careful engineering, this HDD is built to withstand the rigors of 24/7 operation, reducing the likelihood of failures and ensuring consistent performance over time.
Data Integrity
The SAS interface not only enhances speed but also contributes to data integrity. Through features like error-checking and correction, SAS minimizes the risk of data corruption during transmission. This is crucial in enterprise settings where data accuracy is paramount, such as in financial transactions and healthcare applications.
Advantages
Scalability
The Small Form Factor of the HP DG0300FAMWN allows for increased storage density within server configurations. This scalability is valuable for enterprises experiencing data growth, as it enables them to expand their storage capacity without the need for significant physical space.
Compatibility

High Performance
The HP DG0300FAMWN is a small form factor (SFF) hard drive that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. It is not compatible with most consumer computers, as it requires a SAS controller and a motherboard that supports SFF drives. It is not compatible with SATA controllers or motherboards, and it is not designed for use in desktop computers.
If you are trying to use this hard drive in a server or other enterprise-grade system, you will need to make sure that your system has an available SAS port and is compatible with SFF hard drives. You will also need to install a SAS controller in your system if it does not already have one.
General Compatibility
The HP DG0300FAMWN is a 300GB hard drive with a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM. It is a small form factor (SFF) drive that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps. It is an enterprise-class hard drive, designed for use in servers and other mission-critical applications where high performance and reliability are important.
This hard drive is not compatible with most consumer computers, as it requires a SAS controller and a motherboard that supports SFF drives. It is not compatible with SATA controllers or motherboards, and it is not designed for use in desktop computers. If you are looking to upgrade the hard drive in a desktop computer, you will need to find a drive that is compatible with your system.
