SKU CH-5M2E-FZF2G

256 GB SATA solid-state drive in a 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor for server storage upgrades

  • 256 GB capacity stores OS and apps
  • SATA interface connects to standard server ports
  • 5 inch form factor fits hot-swap bays
  • Hot-swappable design allows drive changes without downtime
  • Compatible with IBM System x3200 M3 server

Drive for IBM System x3200 M3

This 256 GB solid-state drive uses a SATA interface and a 2.5 inch hot-swap form factor. It is built for internal server storage in the IBM System x3200 M3 and ships in new condition. The MLC flash memory supports read-intensive workloads where reliable capacity is needed.

Suits IBM x3200 M3 upgrades

It suits administrators adding hot-swap storage to the compatible IBM server without shutting down the system. It will not suit builds that need a different physical size, a non-SATA interface, or a drive that fits desktop or laptop bays. Buyers who want more storage than 256 GB should look at a larger capacity model.

Hot-swap SATA 2.5 inch form factor

The 2.5 inch hot-swap tray lets the drive be inserted or removed while the server runs. This single specification decides whether the part matches the bay and backplane in the supported system. Confirm the server model before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 2.5" SATA SSD produce when running continuously in a server?

With no moving parts the drive generates minimal heat and runs silently, making it suitable for all-day operation in an IBM System x3200 M3 Server.

Does the hot-swap 2.5" SATA SSD need a specific drive bay or caddy to install in my system?

It fits any standard 2.5" hot-swap SATA bay; the IBM System x3200 M3 Server is the listed compatible platform.

Will the 256 GB SATA SSD work alongside the original mechanical drives in an IBM System x3200 M3 Server?

Yes, the SATA interface allows it to share the same backplane or controller as existing 2.5" or 3.5" hard drives in that server.
