IBM 00Y5147 4TB SAS Drive

The IBM 00Y5147 is a 4TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive using a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and is supplied as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray included. The unit is new and intended for desktop or server storage bays.

Suits SAS 6Gb/s nearline storage needs

This drive suits builders populating SAS 6Gb/s backplanes who need 4TB of 7200 RPM nearline capacity. Buyers whose systems lack SAS controllers or hot-swap bays cannot use this drive. Those requiring a different capacity or interface should look at something else.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface. The drive must connect to a compatible SAS controller or backplane that supports 6Gb/s transfer rates. Without that interface the drive will not function.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 4TB Nearline SAS 7.2K drive or a different capacity?

The 4TB capacity suits bulk storage arrays where cost per terabyte matters more than peak IOPS.

How does the 7200 RPM spindle speed affect everyday throughput?

At 7200 RPM the drive delivers sustained sequential rates typical of nearline SAS, adequate for backup targets and secondary storage tiers.

What does the SAS 6Gb/s interface limit in a live server?

The 6Gb/s SAS link caps maximum burst transfer at six gigabits per second, so controller and backplane must support at least that speed to avoid bottlenecks.
