1.20 TB 10K SAS 2.5" Server Hard Drive

This 1.20 TB 10000 rpm SAS drive is built for internal server storage. It connects via a 6Gb/s SAS interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. The drive is supplied new and carries Lenovo part number 00AJ146. It is designed for compatible IBM System X servers.

Suits IBM System X x3850 X6 and x3950 X6

This drive fits IBM System X x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 servers that accept 2.5 inch 6Gb/s SAS drives. It is not for systems that lack a SAS backplane or drive bay. It is not for workloads that need a larger capacity than 1.20 TB. It is not for laptop or desktop installations.

6Gb/s SAS Interface Standard

The single specification that decides fit is the 6Gb/s SAS interface standard. The server must support this exact interface to recognise and use the drive. A different interface will prevent installation. Compatibility is limited to the listed IBM System X models.

Questions about this item

What server or controller must I already have to use the 6Gb/s SAS interface on this drive?

You need a server or RAID controller with a 6Gb/s SAS backplane or HBA that accepts 2.5" drives.

Will this 1.20 TB 10K SAS drive work in an older IBM System x that only supports 3Gb/s SAS?

Yes, the 6Gb/s SAS drive will negotiate down to 3Gb/s on an older backplane, but it will run at the lower speed.

How can I verify the drive is running at its full 10000 rpm and 6Gb/s link after installation?

Check the server management console or RAID utility for a reported spindle speed of 10000 rpm and a negotiated link rate of 6Gb/s SAS.
