IBM 00FN460 300GB 2.5" SAS 15K 6Gb/s internal hard drive

300GB 15K SAS enterprise drive

The IBM 00FN460 is a 300GB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 6Gb/s transfer rate. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand high transactional throughput and low latency. The drive uses a standard SAS interface and supports hot-swap trays for online replacement. Condition is new and supplied in retail or OEM packaging.

Suits high-IOPS server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need maximum random I/O performance from a mechanical drive in a 2.5 inch bay. The 15K spindle speed targets database logs, virtualization hosts and tier-zero storage. Buyers who want more capacity per spindle should look elsewhere. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive.

SAS 6Gb/s interface requirement

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 6Gb/s interface. Your server or array must provide a compatible SAS port and 2.5 inch hot-swap bay. Without a SAS connection the drive will not function.
