2 TB SATA desktop drive

The IBM 42D0787 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 2 TB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface and is supplied in new condition. The package includes the drive, an installation publication with warranty information and a safety flyer.

Suits high-capacity bulk storage

This drive suits users who need a large, affordable repository for documents, media or backups on a desktop platform. Builders who require the faster throughput of a 6 Gb/s SATA link or the lower latency of solid-state storage should look at alternative technologies. The 1.5 Gb/s interface limits peak transfer rates compared with newer SATA revisions.

Fits standard 3.5 inch bays

The 3.5 inch form factor fits directly into any desktop chassis bay designed for that size. A SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the power supply are the only connections required. Using this mechanical drive for mass storage frees up smaller, faster drives to hold the operating system and active applications.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a SATA 1.5 Gb/s port to install the 42D0787?

Yes, the drive connects through a SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface, so the host must provide a compatible SATA data and power connection.

Will the 7200 RPM 42D0787 work in a server that currently uses slower SATA drives?

The drive uses the same SATA interface and 3.5-inch form factor, so it can operate alongside existing SATA drives in a compatible backplane.

How can I confirm the 42D0787 is recognised at its full 2 TB capacity after installation?

Check the BIOS or operating system disk utility; it should report the drive as a 2 TB SATA device with the correct model number 42D0787.
