Fujitsu MAY2036RC 36.7GB 10000 RPM 16MB SAS 2.5" laptop hard drive

SKU CH-D2Q6-78TJG MPN MAY2036RC

A 2.5-inch SAS laptop drive spinning at 10000 RPM with 36.7GB capacity and 16MB cache

  • Total capacity36.7 GB
  • Interface typeSerial Attached SCSI (SAS)
  • Form factor2.5 in (6.35 cm)
  • Packaging typeBare Drive
  • Cache memory16 MB
  • Average seek time4 ms
  • 10,000 RPM spindle delivers fast data access
  • 16 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • SAS interface connects directly to enterprise controllers
  • 4 million hour MTBF rating supports continuous operation
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard laptop bays

Targeted capacity for legacy SAS bays

The Fujitsu MAY2036RC delivers 36.7 GB of storage on a 2.5 inch form factor designed for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces. Its 10000 RPM spindle and 16 MB cache serve systems that still rely on this enterprise laptop drive class. The bare-drive packaging suits integrators replacing a failed unit in existing arrays or workstations.

Mechanical reliability and SAS connectivity

A mean-time-between-failure rating of 1,400,000 power-on hours signals the build quality expected in continuous-operation environments. Native Command Queuing (NCQ) reorders commands to reduce mechanical latency during mixed workloads. The SAS connector provides dual-port capability for path redundancy, a practical advantage when the drive sits in a hot-swap caddy or blade chassis.

Direct replacement for 36 GB 10K SAS units

This model matches the capacity, spindle speed and physical dimensions of earlier 36 GB enterprise laptop drives, making it a drop-in upgrade when a like-for-like swap is required. The jump is worth it when the incumbent drive shows SMART errors or when a maintenance window demands a new, RoHS-compliant unit with a fresh MTBF baseline. It does not address needs for larger capacities or solid-state performance.

Questions about this item

What throughput ceiling does the SAS interface impose on the MAY2036RC?

The SAS interface on the MAY2036RC supports the drive's 10000 RPM spindle speed and 16MB cache, with average seek time of 4ms and average write time of 4.5ms.

What physical space and connector does the 2.5-inch SAS drive require to mount?

The MAY2036RC uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor with a SAS connector, fitting laptop bays or server trays designed for 2.5-inch SAS drives.

How is the MAY2036RC installed, and which step is commonly missed?

Insert the drive into the SAS backplane or caddy, secure it with screws, then ensure the controller BIOS or RAID utility detects the 36.7GB volume before initializing the array.
