MK3001GRRB 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive for Enterprise Use
with 300 Gbyte Capacity and 15,000 rpm Rotational Speed
By Toru IWAMOTO / Akihiko MAKITA / Tatsuro SASAMOTO / Keiichi YORIMITSU
Hard disk drives (HDDs) for enterprise use are primary storage devices installed in mission-critical information systems
such as servers and storage systems. In this field, HDDs must be able to provide high reliability for long-term continuous
workloads (24 hours a day, seven days a week), as well as high perform

The Head with HDI Sensor 8 Terminals mechanical dimensions are compatible with SFF- 8201/8223, the industry standard for 2.5-inch HDDs. Although drives for mobile PCs are thin as 9.5 mm thick, this drive is 15 mm thick to have a highly rigid base plate and top cover for high-speed rotation. Through computer aided engineering (CAE) using finite element method (FEM) analysis, we have op
