3 TB SAS drive for server arrays

The IBM 00Y2473 is a 3 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive and is validated for IBM Storwize V3700 storage arrays and their SFF control and expansion enclosures.

Replaces lower-capacity or slower SAS disks

This drive upgrades a bay that currently holds a smaller SAS drive or a slower spindle, letting you add 3 TB of storage without changing the backplane or controller. The jump is worth it when your array needs more capacity at the same 7200 RPM speed and SAS 6Gb/s link.

Check bay height and controller support

Verify that your chassis accepts a standard 3.5 inch form factor and that your RAID controller or HBA supports SAS 6Gb/s drives. Confirm the Storwize V3700 firmware lists the 00Y2473 as compatible before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" form factor fit my server drive bay?

The 3.5 inch form factor matches standard server drive bays for direct mounting.

How do I connect the SAS 6Gb/s interface to my controller?

Attach a SAS data cable from the drive port to a compatible SAS controller or backplane; ensure the cable clicks fully into both connectors.

When should I plan to replace this 7200 RPM drive in a server array?

Monitor SMART attributes and replace the drive if reallocated sectors rise or if the array controller flags a predictive failure.
