IBM 2.5 inch SAS hard drive in black metal caddy

IBM

IBM 01GV020 1.2TB 10000RPM SAS 2.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-APA0-7X9XK

Stores 1.2 TB on a 10 000 RPM SAS drive with an included XSeries caddy

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 10000 RPM spindle speeds up data access
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface moves data quickly
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense servers
  • Includes IBM XSeries caddy for easy installation

Capacity and interface

This 1.2TB 2.5 inch SAS drive spins at 10000RPM and connects over a 12Gbps link. It fits servers and storage arrays that need fast sequential access in a small form factor. The package includes an IBM XSeries caddy for direct installation.

Thermals noise and power

At 10000RPM the drive runs warmer and louder than slower nearline disks, so adequate airflow in the chassis is required. Power draw rises under sustained writes but remains within the SAS 12Gbps specification. The factory sealed unit ships with a one year warranty.

Upgrade path

It replaces older 2.5 inch SAS drives of lower capacity or slower spindle speed when more throughput is needed. The jump is worthwhile for database logs, virtualisation hosts or tiered storage pools that benefit from the higher RPM. Buyers who need larger capacities or solid state latency should consider other media.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5in SAS drive into the included IBM XSeries caddy?

Align the drive connectors with the caddy backplane, slide it in until the SAS port seats firmly, then secure the four side screws before inserting the assembly into the server bay.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1.2TB 10000RPM SAS drive need later?

The drive has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire unit after the 1-year warranty if SMART attributes show reallocated sectors or excessive seek errors.

What limit appears first on the 12Gbps SAS interface under sustained write loads?

The 10000RPM mechanical latency and 1.2TB platter throughput cap sustained transfers well below the 12Gbps link ceiling.
