IBM 00AR326 900GB SAS 10K Drive

This IBM 00AR326 is a 900GB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high-throughput mechanical storage in a small form factor. The bare drive ships without a tray and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface with a 6Gb/s transfer rate.

Suits SAS Bays Needing 10K Performance

This drive suits administrators populating 2.5 inch SAS bays in compatible IBM or OEM systems where 10000 RPM spindle speed is specified. It is not for laptop upgrades, desktop PCs lacking a SAS controller, or arrays that require larger capacity per spindle. Buyers needing solid-state latency or higher areal density should evaluate alternative media.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 12Gb/s interface paired with a 6Gb/s transfer rate. The host backplane or controller must support this SAS signalling standard for the drive to operate. Verify the system part list for 00AR326 before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the SAS 12Gb/s interface on this 900GB drive work with my existing 6Gb/s SAS backplane?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface which is backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS controllers and backplanes; it will operate at the 6Gb/s link speed supported by your current hardware.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM drive is performing correctly after installation?

Check the system BIOS or RAID controller utility to confirm the drive is detected at 900GB capacity and shows a SAS 12Gb/s link speed; run a SMART health scan to verify zero reallocated sectors and normal temperature range.

The listing says Bare Drive packaging — does the 2.5" 900GB unit ship with a mounting tray or cables?

Bare Drive means only the drive itself is included; no mounting tray, screws, SAS data cable or power cable are supplied — those must be purchased separately if your chassis does not already have them.
