About the Ultrastar DC SS540 300GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-inch 15000RPM

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC SS540 300GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-inch 15000RPM (WUSTR6430ASS204) is a high-performance enterprise hard disk drive engineered for mission-critical storage environments demanding maximum throughput and low latency. Built on a 2.5-inch small form factor platform spinning at 15,000 RPM, this drive delivers exceptional random I/O performance and sustained data transfer rates suited to the most demanding enterprise workloads. The SAS 12Gb/s dual-port interface provides redundant connectivity, enabling high-availability configurations essential in enterprise server and storage array deployments.

The Ultrastar DC SS540 series is purpose-built for enterprise data centers, incorporating Western Digital's advanced media and head technology to sustain high workload duty cycles rated at 2.5 million hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). The drive supports a full 2.5M-hour MTBF rating along with comprehensive error recovery and data integrity features including end-to-end data path protection, which detects and reports data corruption at every stage from host to media. These characteristics make it well-suited for 24/7 continuous operation in dense rack environments running transaction-intensive applications.

Designed to address the storage requirements of AI inferencing pipelines, high-frequency transactional databases, and real-time analytics platforms, the Ultrastar DC SS540 300GB provides the combination of rotational speed, interface bandwidth, and enterprise-grade reliability that IT infrastructure teams require. Its 2.5-inch SFF design enables high-drive-density configurations in blade servers and storage arrays, making it a practical choice for organizations across the UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC regions building or expanding enterprise data center infrastructure.

Ideal for

  • High-frequency online transaction processing (OLTP) databases requiring consistent low-latency random read/write performance
  • Enterprise storage arrays and SAN environments where dual-port SAS redundancy and high availability are mandatory
  • AI and machine learning inferencing infrastructure with sustained sequential and random I/O demands
  • Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure nodes requiring dense, reliable 2.5-inch SFF drive populations
  • Real-time analytics and data warehousing platforms operating under continuous 24/7 workload duty cycles
  • Mission-critical application servers in telecommunications, financial services, and healthcare where drive reliability and data integrity are paramount

Frequently Asked Questions about Ultrastar DC SS540 300GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-inch 15000RPM

What workloads is the Ultrastar DC SS540 300GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-inch 15000RPM designed for?

Enterprise mixed-use and read-intensive workloads — including transactional databases, AI inference data, virtualisation, hyperconverged storage, and analytics. Endurance is rated for sustained 24/7 operation, not consumer-style burst use.

Will this SSD work in my Dell / HPE / Lenovo server?

Most enterprise SSDs ship in vendor-branded variants tied to a server QVL. Share your server model and we will quote the correctly-branded SKU (Dell-genuine, HPE-genuine, Lenovo-genuine) so support and firmware update tooling work without complaints.

Do you provide support support locally?

Yes. All units are sourced through distribution, so support registers cleanly with the manufacturer (Samsung / Kioxia / Solidigm / Micron / WD / Seagate) and DOA replacement is handled through our Dubai operations within 5 business days for UAE/GCC.

How do I get a quote for a bulk order?

Use the RFQ form on this page with your quantity and destination. For larger and project-scale orders we engage the vendor directly to prepare a tailored quote, and our pre-sales team follows up with a vendor-confirmed quote.
