Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive with black tray

IBM

IBM HUC156060CSS200 00AJ301 00AJ300 00AJ304 600GB 15000RPM 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-HWPA-MXQ9H

A 600GB 15000RPM 2.5" SAS internal hard drive with a SYSTEM X caddy included

  • 600 GB capacity supports data-intensive workloads
  • 15000 RPM spindle speed reduces latency
  • SAS 6Gb/s interface enables fast data transfer
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays
  • Includes System X caddy for direct installation

600 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive

This 600 GB internal hard drive spins at 15 000 RPM and connects through a 2.5 inch SAS 6 Gb/s interface. It is built for IBM System x servers that need high-speed transactional storage in a compact form factor. The drive ships new and includes the matching System x caddy for direct installation.

Thermals and power in normal use

The 15 000 RPM spindle speed and SAS interface draw more power and generate more heat than slower nearline drives. Continuous operation in a dense chassis requires adequate airflow across the 2.5 inch frame to keep temperatures within specification. Acoustic output is higher than 10 000 RPM models under heavy random workloads.

Included caddy and firmware

The bundled System x caddy secures the drive in hot-swap bays without extra hardware or adapter brackets. Firmware tuned for IBM controllers enables consistent error recovery and predictable latency during rebuilds. Environments that lack SAS backplanes or System x firmware support cannot use the drive as intended.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drive with the included SYSTEM X caddy?

Slide the HUC156060CSS200 into the supplied SYSTEM X caddy until the connector engages the backplane, then insert the assembly into the 2.5" bay and secure the latch; the step often missed is fully seating the SAS connector before locking the caddy.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15000RPM 600GB SAS drive need later?

Plan to replace the drive after its rated service life; the 15000RPM spindle and SAS interface have no user-serviceable parts, so a full drive swap is the only maintenance action.

What limit appears first on the 6Gb/s SAS interface during sustained write workloads?

The 6Gb/s SAS link saturates before the 15000RPM media, capping sustained throughput at the interface rate during heavy sequential writes.
