Silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with hot-swap tray

IBM

IBM 49Y1866 600GB 15K SAS 3.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-5EPF-86G2K MPN 49Y1866

A 600 GB 3.5" SAS hard drive spinning at 15 000 RPM with a 16 MB cache and hot-swap support

  • 15,000 RPM spindle speed accelerates data access
  • 600 GB capacity stores large workloads
  • SAS interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • Hot-swap support enables drive replacement without downtime
  • 16 MB cache buffers frequent read and write operations

Capacity and interface

The IBM 49Y1866 is a 600GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a SAS interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require hot-swap capability and enterprise-grade reliability.

Sustained workload behaviour

A 15000RPM spindle speed and 16MB cache support consistent throughput for transaction-heavy applications. The 6Gbps SAS link maintains bandwidth during extended read or write sequences without the thermal throttling seen in consumer drives.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your backplane or controller supports 3.5 inch SAS hot-swap drives and provides a 6Gbps SAS connection. Confirm the carrier or tray matches the 49Y1866 form factor before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 15000 RPM 49Y1866 generate during continuous all-day operation?

The 15000 RPM spindle speed and SAS interface mean the 49Y1866 runs warmer and louder than slower drives; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow and vibration damping for sustained workloads.

Which controller or backplane must I already have to connect the SAS 49Y1866?

You need a SAS host bus adapter, RAID card, or server backplane with a 6 Gbps SAS port; standard SATA-only motherboard connectors will not recognise the drive.

Will the 3.5-inch 49Y1866 fit and function in a chassis that currently holds older 3.5-inch SATA drives?

The 3.5-inch form factor matches legacy bays, but the SAS interface requires a SAS-capable backplane or controller; a SATA-only backplane will not work with this drive.
