600 GB 10K SAS drive for servers

This 2.5-inch IBM hard drive delivers 600 GB of storage on a 6 Gb/s SAS interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for server environments that demand consistent throughput and hot-swap capability. The included tray allows quick replacement without powering down the chassis.

Replaces slower 2.5-inch SAS drives

Upgrading from a lower-RPM or smaller-capacity SAS drive is worthwhile when workloads need faster random access and higher sustained transfer rates. The 10K spindle speed and SLC flash memory type support write-intensive applications where latency consistency matters more than raw capacity.

Fits IBM System x3550 M4 and x3650 M4

The drive slides into 2.5-inch hot-swap bays of the listed IBM servers using the supplied tray. It requires a backplane or controller that supports 6 Gb/s SAS signalling. No additional cabling or mounting hardware is needed beyond what the server chassis already provides.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch form factor with the included hot-swap tray fit the drive bays of an IBM System x3650 M4 or x3550 M4?

Yes, the 2.5-inch drive ships with a hot-swap tray designed for the IBM System x3650 M4 and x3550 M4 (7914) server bays.

How do I install the SAS 6Gb/s drive into the hot-swap bay, and what step is often missed?

Slide the tray into the bay until the lever engages, then close the lever fully to lock the SAS connector; the step often missed is not seating the lever completely.

When should the 10000 RPM SAS drive be replaced in a server environment?

Replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors, unusual noise appears, or after the manufacturer-rated service life for 10000 RPM SAS drives is reached.
