  • 2TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 15000RPM rotational speed accelerates data access
  • 12Gbps SAS interface enables high-throughput transfers
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays
  • Includes IBM SYSTEM STORAGE caddy for direct installation

Enterprise 15K SAS drive

The IBM HUC156030CSS200 is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000RPM. It connects through a 12Gbps SAS interface and is built for transaction-heavy server workloads. The drive ships new with an IBM SYSTEM STORAGE caddy included.

Caddy-mounted 2.5" form factor

The supplied tray locks the drive into compatible IBM V5000 G2 bays without extra hardware. A single SAS connector handles both data and power, so cable routing stays simple. The 1.0 pound weight keeps loading density high in 2U or blade chassis.

15000RPM spindle speed

This rotational speed determines the random-access latency that database and virtualisation tiers rely on. Buyers who need larger capacity per spindle or a lower power profile should evaluate other drive classes.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 Gbps SAS interface limit the real-world throughput to?

The 12 Gbps SAS interface caps sustained transfers at roughly 1.2 GB/s, well above the 1.2 TB drive’s own media speed so the bottleneck stays on the platter side.

What physical clearance does the 2.5" SAS drive with the included IBM SYSTEM STORAGE caddy need in a V5000 G2 bay?

The drive plus caddy occupies a standard 2.5-inch hot-swap slot; the tray adds the eject lever and guide rails so it fits the V5000 G2 carrier without extra brackets.

How is the HUC156030CSS200 installed in the V5000 G2, and which step is most often missed?

Slide the caddied drive into the bay until the latch clicks, then verify the amber activity LED lights — skipping the LED check leaves a loose connection undetected.
