3.5 inch SATA hard drive in black metal caddy

IBM

IBM 2TB 7.2K RPM 6Gb/s 3.5" SATA internal hard drive ST2000NM0033 with SYSTEM X caddy

SKU CH-4Y7X-1PSTZ

A 2 TB 7.2K RPM 6Gb/s 3.5" SATA internal hard drive with a SYSTEM X caddy for hot-swap server bays

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface matches server backplanes
  • 5 inch NearLine design fits hot-swap bays
  • Includes SYSTEM X caddy for direct installation

2TB SATA drive for IBM System x servers

This 2TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drive spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a 6 Gb/s interface. It ships new with the IBM System x hot-swap caddy already attached, so it fits directly into compatible drive bays.

Suits System x bays needing hot-swap capacity

The included tray matches the hot-swap mechanism found in supported System x chassis, making installation tool-free. Builders using non-IBM enclosures or fixed-mount cages should look elsewhere because the caddy will not secure properly without the matching latch geometry.

6 Gb/s SATA interface determines controller

The drive communicates over a standard 6 Gb/s SATA link, so the host controller or backplane must support that speed to achieve full throughput. Older 3 Gb/s-only controllers will work but limit the drive to half its rated bandwidth.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 7200RPM SATA drive get during all-day operation?

The 7200RPM mechanism produces typical nearline drive acoustics and heat; the 3.5-inch form factor allows standard server airflow to keep temperatures in check.

What server bay and cabling must I already have to install this ST2000NM0033 with its SYSTEM X caddy?

You need a 3.5-inch hot-swap bay compatible with the SYSTEM X tray and a SATA 6Gbps backplane or cable to connect the drive.

Will this 2000GB SATA drive work in an older SYSTEM X chassis that only supports 3Gbps backplanes?

Yes, the SATA 6Gbps interface negotiates down to 3Gbps, so the drive functions normally on legacy SYSTEM X backplanes.
