Server-grade SAS HDD for enterprise arrays

The IBM HUC101818CS4200 is a 1.8 TB hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 12 Gbps SAS interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It is built for IBM System X servers and compatible server chassis that accept 2.5 inch SAS drives. The grey unit is supplied new and intended for RAID arrays or tiered storage pools in data-centre environments.

Verify SAS backplane and caddy compatibility

Confirm that your server backplane supports 12 Gbps SAS signalling and that a 2.5 inch drive caddy or tray is available for the specific System X model. The drive uses a standard SAS connector but requires a matching hot-plug carrier to seat correctly in the chassis. Check the server maintenance manual for supported drive part numbers such as 00NA272, 00NA271 or 00NA275 before ordering.

No bundled accessories or software included

The product ships as a bare drive only; no mounting screws, caddy, cables or management utilities are supplied in the box. Installation depends entirely on the server’s existing drive carriers and the RAID controller’s firmware. Plan to reuse or procure the correct carrier separately to complete the upgrade.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.8TB 10000RPM SAS drive ship with a mounting tray or caddy, or must that be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as the bare unit only; a 2.5" SAS hot-swap tray or caddy for your specific server chassis is not included and must be sourced separately.

Which part number — 00NA272, 00NA271 or 00NA275 — matches the 12Gbps SAS interface for my System x server?

All three MPNs refer to the same HUC101818CS4200 model with 12Gbps SAS; choose the part number that appears in your server’s FRU or compatibility list.

Will the 12Gbps SAS interface actually run at 12Gbps in a System x backplane that only supports 6Gbps?

The drive negotiates down to the backplane speed, so it will operate at 6Gbps on a 6Gbps System x backplane while retaining full 1.8TB capacity and 10000RPM performance.
