Capacity and interface

The IBM 00WG704 is a 1.2TB internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor and a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It spins at 10000 RPM and is built for hot-swap server and storage arrays. The drive is supplied new in original or OEM packaging. It targets administrators who need high-speed capacity in a small bay.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 10000 RPM spindle and SAS 12Gb/s link deliver consistent throughput for random I/O and sequential transfers under continuous load. Hot-swap support allows replacement without powering down the enclosure. Mechanical latency remains stable during extended duty cycles typical of database and virtualisation workloads.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your controller or backplane supports SAS 12Gb/s and provides a 2.5 inch hot-swap bay with the correct tray type. Confirm the system firmware recognises the drive geometry and that the power budget covers the spindle motor. Ensure cabling and airflow suit the intended rack density.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 10000 RPM 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s drive produce during continuous operation?

The 10000 RPM spindle generates typical enterprise-level acoustics and heat for a 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s drive; ensure your chassis airflow matches the system builder's cooling guidelines.

What controller or backplane is required to run the 1.2TB SAS 12Gb/s hot-swap drive?

A SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter or RAID controller with a 2.5" hot-swap backplane is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector and will not operate on interfaces other than SAS.

Will the 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s 10K drive work in a server that currently uses 3.5" SAS 6Gb/s drives?

The 2.5" form factor needs a 2.5" hot-swap bay or adapter; the SAS 12Gb/s interface negotiates down to 6Gb/s on older controllers, so the drive will function at the lower link speed.
