  • 6 TB capacity stores large data sets

6TB SAS drive for System x bays

This 6TB 3.5 inch SAS hard drive spins at 7200RPM and connects at 12Gbps. It is built for IBM System x servers and ships with the matching System x caddy or tray. The drive suits nearline storage workloads that need high capacity and reliable throughput.

Install with the included caddy

The supplied System x tray aligns the drive with the server backplane so no extra brackets are needed. Slide the assembly into a hot-swap bay until the lever locks. A common issue is forgetting to engage the lever fully, which leaves the SAS connector unseated and the drive invisible to the controller.

6TB capacity for bulk data

Six terabytes hold large backup sets, media archives or surveillance footage with room to grow. Sequential transfers benefit from the 12Gbps SAS link and 7200RPM spindle. Random I/O heavy workloads such as databases or virtual machine clusters will saturate the mechanical limits before the interface does.

  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers consistent throughput

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 7200RPM SAS drive is spinning correctly after installation?

Listen for the motor spin-up and check the controller BIOS or OS disk utility to confirm the 6TB capacity and 12Gb/s link speed are detected.

Does the 3.5" SAS hard drive ship with the SYSTEM X caddy and are any cables required?

The unit includes the SYSTEM X caddy; a SAS data cable and compatible backplane or HBA must be supplied separately.

Which part number — 00FN229, 00FN228 or 00FN232 — matches my System X server tray?

All three part numbers refer to the same 6TB 7200RPM SAS drive with caddy; choose the one listed in your server’s parts catalogue.
