1 TB SATA drive for servers

This IBM 1 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SATA interface. It is supplied as a bare drive without mounting accessories. The unit is designed for hot-swap operation inside compatible IBM storage arrays.

SATA throughput and array limits

The SATA interface caps sustained transfer rates below what modern solid-state storage can deliver. Mechanical latency at 7200 RPM adds seek time that affects random workloads. Compatibility is confirmed for IBM DS3200, DS3300 and DS3400 arrays; other controllers may not support hot-swap signalling.

Hot-swap bay installation notes

Installation requires a 3.5 inch hot-swap bay with a SATA backplane; the drive slides in and locks without cables. Common issues include missing tray screws, backplane pin misalignment and firmware mismatches that prevent the array from recognising the dual-port logic.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1000 GB version or a smaller capacity for my server array?

This drive is offered in a single 1000 GB capacity, so there is no smaller version to choose from.

How does the 7200 RPM spindle speed affect real-world throughput in a DS3200 array?

The 7200 RPM spindle delivers consistent sequential performance suitable for the SATA interface used in DS3200, DS3300 and DS3400 arrays.

What does the dual-port SATA interface cap at when installed in a System Storage array?

The dual-port SATA connection provides redundant paths to the controller, with the SATA link itself setting the maximum transfer rate.
