  • 4 TB capacity stores large datasets and backups
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers responsive sequential throughput
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface enables direct connection to compatible controllers
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays with included caddy
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer-rated reliability from first power-on

Capacity and interface

This IBM HUS724040ALS640 drive delivers 4000GB of storage on a 3.5" SAS 6Gbps interface. It spins at 7200RPM and ships with a system caddy for direct installation. The unit is new and weighs 2.0 pound.

Replacing slower or smaller SAS drives

The jump is worth it when you need higher capacity than a 2.0 pound 7200RPM drive of lower density provides. It also suits arrays that require the 6Gbps SAS link speed for consistent throughput. Buyers who want more storage than 4000GB or a different interface should look elsewhere.

Check your controller and bay compatibility

Verify that your server or enclosure accepts a 3.5" SAS drive with a 6Gbps connection and that the included caddy matches your drive bay. Confirm the backplane supports the SAS protocol at the rated speed. No other technology names apply to this product.

Questions about this item

Will the included caddy fit a standard 3.5" SAS drive bay in my server?

Yes, the supplied system caddy is built for a 3.5" SAS bay and holds the HUS724040ALS640 securely.

What is the installation step that people often miss when adding this drive?

Slide the caddy fully home until the latch clicks so the SAS connector seats on the backplane.

How long before the 7200RPM mechanism typically needs replacement?

Enterprise nearline drives of this class are rated for years of continuous operation; monitor SMART data and replace if reallocated sectors rise.
