1 TB SATA 3.0 Gb/s Simple-Swap Drive

This 1 TB 3.5-inch hard drive runs at 7 200 RPM on a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and is built for simple-swap bays in IBM eServer xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations. It delivers 9 ms average seek time and 4.17 ms average latency for mid-range to advanced storage workloads. The bare-drive packaging suits system integrators and IT teams expanding existing arrays.

Replaces Slower or Smaller SATA Drives

The jump is worthwhile when moving from a lower-capacity or lower-RPM SATA drive that can no longer hold the working data set or meet throughput demands. The 7 200 RPM spindle and 3.0 Gb/s link raise sustained transfer rates without changing the host controller. Buyers who need higher areal density or a different interface should look elsewhere.

Fits 3.5-Inch Simple-Swap Bays

The drive slides into any 3.5-inch simple-swap tray that accepts a standard SATA data and power connector, freeing a hot-swap slot for other devices. No extra cabling or adapter is required beyond the backplane already present in compatible IBM chassis. Systems without a simple-swap backplane cannot use the tray mechanism.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" 43W7622 fit a standard 3.5" drive bay or does it need a specific server tray?

The drive is a 3.5" form factor with a simple-swap tray. It mounts in IBM eServer xSeries or IntelliStation bays that accept simple-swap trays.

What is the correct way to install the SATA 3.0Gb/s simple-swap drive and what step is often missed?

Slide the tray into the bay until the connector seats firmly; the step often missed is not pushing far enough to engage the SATA backplane.

When should the 1TB 7200 RPM drive be replaced and what signs indicate it?

Replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors, seek errors rise above normal, or average latency exceeds the 4.17ms specification.
