Server-Ready SAS Drive

The IBM 42D0633 is a 146GB 2.5" internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive in new condition and is designed for server environments that require this specific combination of capacity and rotational speed.

Suited for SAS Server Bays

This drive fits servers equipped with 2.5" SAS backplanes and workloads that benefit from 10000 RPM mechanical performance. It is not suitable for systems that lack a SAS 6Gb/s connection, nor for applications needing capacities beyond 146GB or non-mechanical storage technology.

SAS 6Gb/s Interface Decides Compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the SAS 6Gb/s interface. Only controllers and backplanes that explicitly support this SAS transfer rate can communicate with the drive, so verify the host connection before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 42D0633 drive ship with a mounting tray or cables, or is it just the bare 2.5" unit?

The product is listed as a bare drive, so only the 2.5" hard drive itself is included; any SAS cables, mounting trays or brackets must be purchased separately.

The spec sheet shows a single 146GB capacity — are there other capacities available under this same 42D0633 part number?

No, part number 42D0633 identifies this specific 146GB model only; different capacities carry different IBM part numbers.

How does the 6Gb/s SAS interface speed translate to actual throughput when the drive is installed in a server backplane?

The 6Gb/s figure is the maximum SAS bus transfer rate; sustained read/write speeds will be lower and are limited by the 10000 RPM mechanical performance of the drive.
