Get This Deal

For just $238.09, down from its list price of $279.98. This is the best price since the drive last touched its $210.72 all-time low. The 30-day average sits at $255.61, so today's price saves you roughly $17 versus waiting for the next typical fluctuation.

What You're Getting

This is a 300GB 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM with a 64 MB cache and 6Gb/s SAS interface. Western Digital rates it for mission-critical workloads, and the numbers back that up:

• 18% faster sequential performance than competing enterprise drives
• Up to 15% better random performance in mixed workloads
• 22% lower power consumption during active operation versus comparable models
• Industry-best performance density in the 2.5-inch 10K RPM form factor

Who This Is For

Best for IT buyers refreshing older server infrastructure or building out hot-storage tiers that need fast SAS access without jumping to SSD pricing. Also a solid fit for homelab enthusiasts running enterprise gear who need reliable 10K RPM drives for VM datastores or caching layers.

Skip this if you need capacity above 300GB or if your system uses SATA rather than SAS backplanes.

Final Verdict

If your server rack still runs on 2.5-inch SAS and you need cost-effective speed for frequently accessed data, this $238.09 price is a no-brainer versus the 30-day average. The 15% discount makes it a better buy now than it has been in months.
