1.8 TB SAS drive for enterprise storage

The IBM V3700 V2 delivers 1.8 TB of capacity on a 2.5 inch form factor spinning at 10000 RPM. A 12 Gbps SAS interface provides the throughput required by transactional workloads. The drive ships with an IBM system caddy for direct rack installation. It is built for environments that demand consistent random I/O performance.

Suits arrays needing high IOPS density

Database servers and virtualisation hosts benefit from the 10000 RPM spindle and dual-port SAS connectivity. Buyers who need larger sequential throughput or archival capacity should consider higher-capacity nearline drives. Systems limited to 6 Gbps backplanes will not utilise the full interface speed. Workloads requiring sub-millisecond latency at queue depth one may prefer solid-state media.

Tool-less caddy eases deployment

The included tray slides into compatible IBM enclosures without screws or cables. Installers must verify that the backplane supports 12 Gbps SAS and supplies adequate cooling for 10000 RPM operation. A common error is mixing this drive with 6 Gbps-only expanders, which negates the bandwidth advantage. Firmware should be updated to the latest vendor release before production use.

Questions about this item

What SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller port is needed to connect the 12Gbps drive?

The drive uses a standard 12Gbps SAS interface, so it requires a compatible HBA or RAID controller with a free SAS port and cable.

Will the 10000RPM 2.5" SAS drive work in an older 6Gbps backplane or controller?

Yes, the 12Gbps SAS interface is backward compatible with 6Gbps and 3Gbps SAS controllers and backplanes.

How can I verify the HUC101818CS4200 is recognised at full 12Gbps link speed after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or management utility; it should report the drive negotiating a 12Gbps link and show the 1.8TB capacity.
