2 TB Near Line SAS drive

The IBM 00Y2471 is a 2 TB 3.5 inch Near Line hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive with hot-swap capability and is intended for server environments. The unit is new and has been tested to confirm physical and working condition.

Server storage upgrade

This drive suits administrators adding near-line capacity to SAS-equipped servers or storage arrays that accept 3.5 inch hot-swap bays. It does not suit builders whose systems lack a SAS backplane or hot-swap tray support, or workloads that demand solid-state latency.

SAS 6Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the drive will only operate in controllers and backplanes that support this protocol. Verify that the target server provides a compatible SAS connection and 3.5 inch hot-swap bay before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" SAS drive into a hot-swap server bay?

Slide the bare drive into the hot-swap tray until the SAS connector seats firmly; the tray handle then locks it in place. The step most people miss is fully engaging the handle latch before powering on the server.

What maintenance or replacement will this 7200 RPM Near Line drive need later?

Plan to replace the drive once its SMART reallocated-sector count rises or after the rated annualised failure rate window for 7.2K Near Line drives passes; no scheduled lubrication or firmware updates are required by the manufacturer.

What limit appears first when this 2TB SAS 6Gb/s drive runs sustained workloads?

The 6Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput well before the 7200 RPM platters reach their own transfer ceiling, so the interface is the first bottleneck under heavy sequential I/O.
