600 GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive

This 600 GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a 6 Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that need fast, reliable mechanical storage in a compact hot-swap form factor. The drive is new and ready for deployment in compatible IBM System x and similar enterprise chassis.

SAS 6 Gb/s interface and 10000 RPM spindle

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6 Gb/s interface combined with a 10000 RPM spindle speed. A backplane or controller must support 6 Gb/s SAS signalling; SATA-only controllers will not recognise the drive. The 10000 RPM rotation delivers higher IOPS than 7200 RPM nearline drives for transactional workloads.

Hot-swap 2.5-inch tray for enterprise bays

The drive mounts in a 2.5-inch hot-swap tray that slides into tool-less drive bays on supported servers. It requires a SAS backplane with 6 Gb/s capability and adequate cooling for 10000 RPM operation. Using this form factor frees 3.5-inch bays for higher-capacity nearline drives while keeping performance-critical data on the faster spindles.

Questions about this item

What does 10000 RPM mean for actual throughput in a server?

The spindle spins at 10000 RPM, which reduces average rotational latency and helps sustain higher sequential read and write rates in RAID arrays compared with 7200 RPM drives.

How does the SAS 6Gb/s interface limit real-world transfer speed?

The SAS link runs at 6Gb/s, capping the maximum burst transfer at that rate; sustained throughput will be lower and depends on the drive's internal media speed and the controller.

Will this 2.5-inch drive fit a standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bay?

The drive is a 2.5-inch form factor; it requires a 2.5-inch hot-swap tray or an adapter bracket to mount in a 3.5-inch bay.
