IBM 300 GB 2.5" SAS 10K drive

This new IBM 00WG685 is a 300 GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM with a 12 Gb/s interface. It ships as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray for direct insertion into compatible bays. The unit is built for internal desktop and server storage arrays that require enterprise-class rotational speed.

Suited for SAS hot-swap bays only

The drive fits 2.5-inch hot-swap bays that accept a 12 Gb/s SAS connection, making it appropriate for replacement or expansion in supported IBM and compatible enclosures. Buyers whose systems lack a SAS backplane or hot-swap cage cannot install this drive.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface; the drive will not operate on any other bus type. Verify that the host controller and backplane support this exact interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS 300GB 10000 RPM drive negotiate down to 6Gb/s on my older controller?

Yes, the SAS interface is backward compatible and will operate at the highest speed the controller supports, so it will run at 6Gb/s if the controller is limited to that rate.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM drive is spinning and the 12Gb/s link is active after installation?

The drive will appear in the RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility at full 300GB capacity with a negotiated 12Gb/s link speed shown in the controller status or SMART data.

Does the bare drive 00WG685 include the hot-swap tray or must I buy a 2.5" carrier separately?

The product is supplied as a bare drive only; the hot-swap tray or carrier required for your server or enclosure must be purchased separately.
