  • 450 GB capacity stores large server datasets

450GB 15000RPM SAS Drive

This 450GB SAS hard drive spins at 15000RPM and connects through a 6Gbps interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand fast sequential access and sustained throughput. The package includes an IBM SYSTEM X caddy for direct installation in compatible bays.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your system provides a 3.5-inch SAS backplane or controller with 6Gbps support. Confirm the physical bay accepts the supplied caddy and that firmware recognises the ST3450857SS model number. Ensure adequate cooling for a 15000RPM spindle in the target chassis.

Build Integration

The drive occupies a single 3.5-inch slot and draws power from the backplane. Its 6Gbps SAS link frees bandwidth for other devices on the same controller. The included tray secures the unit without extra mounting hardware. No additional cables are required when used in a compatible IBM SYSTEM X enclosure.

Questions about this item

Does the drive come with a mounting tray or do I need to buy one separately?

The listing states it includes an IBM SYSTEM X caddy/tray so no separate bracket is required.

Which part number should I select — 49Y6098, 49Y6097 or 49Y6101?

All three part numbers refer to the same 450 GB 15000 RPM SAS drive; choose the one that matches your server's service documentation.

How does the 15000 RPM spindle speed affect performance in a typical server?

The 15000 RPM rotation delivers lower latency and higher sustained throughput for transaction-heavy workloads compared with slower enterprise drives.
