Capacity and interface
This is an IBM 81Y9774 internal hard drive with a 3TB capacity, a 3.5 inch form factor and a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a hot-swap tray design. The drive is supplied new in retail packaging.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Desktop builders and server administrators who need a 3TB 7200 RPM SATA drive with hot-swap capability will find this unit matches their requirements. Buyers who need a different capacity, a 2.5 inch form factor, or a non-hot-swap drive should consider other options.
The specification that decides fit
The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface combined with the 3.5 inch hot-swap tray determines whether this drive fits your bay and controller. Verify that your system accepts a 3.5 inch hot-swap SATA drive before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What physical dimensions and tray type does the 81Y9774 need for mounting?
The drive uses a 3.5 inch form factor and a hot-swap tray, so it fits standard 3.5 inch hot-swap bays in servers or enclosures.
How is the 81Y9774 installed, and what step is often missed?
Slide the drive into the hot-swap bay until the SATA connector seats firmly; the step often missed is not pushing far enough to latch the tray handle.
What maintenance will the 3TB 7200 RPM SATA drive need later?
No scheduled maintenance is required; monitor SMART health attributes and replace the drive if reallocated sectors or seek errors increase.
