IBM 43W7622 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Simple Swap Internal Hard Drive

1 TB SATA 3.0 Gb/s Simple-Swap Drive

This 1 TB 3.5-inch hard drive runs at 7 200 RPM on a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and is built for simple-swap bays in IBM eServer xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations. It delivers 9 ms average seek time and 4.17 ms average latency for mid-range to advanced storage workloads. The bare-drive packaging suits system integrators and IT teams expanding existing arrays.

Replaces Slower or Smaller SATA Drives

The jump is worthwhile when moving from a lower-capacity or lower-RPM SATA drive that can no longer hold the working data set or meet throughput demands. The 7 200 RPM spindle and 3.0 Gb/s link raise sustained transfer rates without changing the host controller. Buyers who need higher areal density or a different interface should look elsewhere.

Fits 3.5-Inch Simple-Swap Bays

The drive slides into any 3.5-inch simple-swap tray that accepts a standard SATA data and power connector, freeing a hot-swap slot for other devices. No extra cabling or adapter is required beyond the backplane already present in compatible IBM chassis. Systems without a simple-swap backplane cannot use the tray mechanism.
