Description
The Oracle Sun 542-0388 is an enterprise 300GB 10K RPM SAS Disk Assembly designed for high-performance server storage environments. It combines a 300GB SAS hard disk drive with the appropriate mounting bracket, making it suitable for installation in compatible Oracle/Sun server configurations.
Oracle’s official documentation identifies 542-0388 as a 300GB, 10,000 RPM SAS SFF disk assembly with one bracket and classifies it as a customer-replaceable unit (CRU) for the Sun Server X3-2.
The assembly is associated with a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) enterprise SAS drive. Oracle/Sun system documentation lists compatible drive options including Hitachi HUC106030CSS600 and Seagate ST9300605SS, depending on the specific assembly configuration.
With its 10,000 RPM rotational speed, the drive is designed for workloads requiring responsive disk access, making it suitable for enterprise applications, databases, operating-system storage, and other server workloads where performance is more important than maximum capacity.
