EMC 005048946 300GB 10K 6Gbps SAS 2.5" VNX Server HDD

About EMC 005048946 300GB 10K 6Gbps SAS 2.5" VNX Server HDD in Bangladesh

The EMC 005048946 is a 300GB 10,000 RPM enterprise SAS hard drive designed for compatible EMC VNX storage systems. It uses a 6Gbps SAS interface and 2.5-inch Small Form Factor design, providing performance-oriented mechanical storage for enterprise SAN environments.

EMC VNX documentation identifies part number 005048946 as a 300GB, 6Gb/s SAS, 10K RPM disk module for the 2U, 25-drive 2.5-inch Disk Array Enclosure (DAE). The VNX5100/VNX5300 Disk and OE Matrix identifies the same part number under model V3-2S10-300. ([EMC VNX Documentation](https://archive.storagenetworks.com/documents/emc/vnx-documentation-set-rev-71a1/VNX5500_%20PG.pdf))

The drive is also commonly identified by the EMC model V3-2S10-300. Enterprise storage references associate 005048946 with additional VNX disk-module part numbers, but the exact supported FRU depends on the VNX model, DAE and OE/FLARE version.

300GB Enterprise Storage

The 300GB capacity is designed for performance-oriented enterprise storage rather than bulk-capacity applications. It is suitable for frequently accessed datasets, database volumes, application storage and transactional workloads.

For backup and archival environments where maximum capacity per drive is the priority, higher-capacity SAS or NL-SAS drives may be more appropriate.

10,000 RPM Performance

The 10K RPM spindle speed provides faster mechanical response than conventional 7,200 RPM enterprise HDDs. This is particularly useful for workloads involving frequent random reads and writes.

Typical applications include OLTP, ERP, databases, web servers, email systems and data replication workloads.

SAS 6Gbps Interface

The EMC 005048946 uses a 6Gbps Serial Attached SCSI interface. SAS provides enterprise storage connectivity and supports redundant storage architectures through compatible VNX storage controllers and disk shelves.

The drive is specifically intended for EMC storage infrastructure and should not be treated as a generic SATA HDD. VNX-specific sector formatting and firmware requirements must be considered when replacing drives.

520-Byte Sector Format

VNX versions of the EMC 005048946 are commonly specified with a 520-byte sector size. Enterprise storage drives used by VNX systems can use storage-system-specific formatting rather than the 512-byte sectors commonly found on general-purpose server HDDs.

For this reason, customers replacing an existing VNX drive should verify the exact VNX FRU and sector format rather than substituting a generic 300GB 10K SAS HDD.

EMC V3-2S10-300 Model

The 005048946 is identified with EMC model V3-2S10-300. Current enterprise storage references specify the V3-2S10-300 as a 300GB, 10K RPM, SAS 6Gbps, 2.5-inch VNX Series HDD.

Additional part numbers associated with the V3-2S10-300 family include 005049292, 005049197, 005049821, 005050277, 005050279, 005049799, 005049800, 005050340, 005050341, 005050702 and 005050213. These are VNX-specific disk-module references and should not automatically be considered interchangeable across every VNX platform.

EMC VNX5100 and VNX5300 Compatibility

EMC's VNX5100/VNX5300 Series Disk and OE Matrix lists V3-2S10-300 as a 300GB, 6Gbps SAS, 2.5-inch, 10K RPM disk module and includes part number 005048946. The matrix identifies VNX5100 and VNX5300 as supported platforms. ([EMC VNX5100/VNX5300 Disk and OE Matrix](https://www.collegesidekick.com/study-docs/16192030))

EMC VNX5500 Compatibility

EMC's VNX5500 documentation lists 005048946 as a 300GB, 6Gbps SAS, 10K RPM disk module for the 2U, 25-drive 2.5-inch DAE. ([EMC VNX5500 Documentation](https://archive.storagenetworks.com/documents/emc/vnx-documentation-set-rev-71a1/VNX5500_%20PG.pdf))

This makes 005048946 an important replacement FRU for compatible VNX5500 25-drive DAE configurations.

EMC VNX5700 and VNX7500 Compatibility

VNX disk/OE matrix references associate the V3-2S10-300 family with VNX5700 and VNX7500 configurations as well. Exact compatibility depends on the DAE configuration and the VNX OE/FLARE revision.

Always verify the storage-system model, DAE type and OE/FLARE revision before replacing or expanding a VNX disk group.

Enterprise SAN Storage

The EMC 005048946 is intended for storage-array environments rather than ordinary standalone server use. It is installed as part of an EMC VNX disk-array enclosure and managed by the VNX storage system.

Its enterprise SAS interface and VNX-qualified configuration make it suitable for SAN workloads requiring predictable storage-array operation.

RAID and VNX Storage Pools

The 005048946 can participate in supported VNX RAID and storage-pool configurations when the exact FRU is supported by the VNX system and OE version.

When expanding or rebuilding an existing VNX disk group, use drives matching the required capacity, rotational speed, interface, sector format and EMC-supported FRU.

Do not mix arbitrary third-party SAS drives into a VNX disk group simply because they have the same capacity and interface.

Performance-Oriented Storage

The combination of 10K RPM mechanical performance and SAS 6Gbps connectivity makes the 005048946 appropriate for random-I/O workloads where faster HDD response is required.

• OLTP
• Database workloads
• ERP systems
• E-commerce platforms
• Web servers
• Email systems
• Data replication
• Enterprise application storage

Compatibility

• EMC VNX5100
• EMC VNX5300
• EMC VNX5500
• EMC VNX5700
• EMC VNX7500
• Compatible 2.5-inch 25-drive VNX DAEs
• Compatible VNX SAS storage infrastructure

The compatibility list is representative. EMC's own documentation recommends checking the applicable Disk and OE Matrix because VNX disk-module compatibility depends on the exact storage configuration and OE revision.

EMC 005048946 vs Generic 300GB 10K SAS HDD

The sector format and VNX qualification are important differences. A generic 300GB 10K SAS HDD should not automatically be used as a replacement for 005048946 in an EMC VNX system.
