HPE C8S61A Enterprise 300GB SAS HDD

HPE C8S61A Enterprise 300GB SAS HDD

Overview

HPE C8S61A is an enterprise-class 2.5-inch SAS hard disk designed for HPE MSA and P2000 storage systems. It is used in environments where high performance, reliability, and consistent data access are required for transactional and shared storage workloads. The drive operates at 15,000 RPM and uses a 6Gbps SAS interface to deliver fast rotational performance and stable throughput for enterprise applications.
It is commonly deployed in SAN storage arrays where low-latency disk access is required for databases, virtualization, and mission-critical applications. The dual-port SAS architecture supports redundancy and continuous availability in enterprise storage configurations. The drive is designed for hot-swap operation in compatible HPE enclosures, allowing maintenance without system downtime. It fits into modular storage environments where predictable performance and high availability are required.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Enterprise SAN storage arrays for transactional workloads
Virtualization environments requiring consistent disk performance
Database systems with high I/O demand
Mid-range data center storage systems
