1TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gbps 2.5in Drive

This new IBM ST1000NX0453 is a 1TB internal hard drive spinning at 7200RPM with a SAS 12Gbps interface. It uses a 2.5in form factor and ships with a System X caddy for hot-swap NearLine deployment in compatible servers. The drive is built for enterprise storage arrays that require dual-port SAS connectivity and the supplied tray.

Who This Suits

Administrators expanding NearLine capacity in IBM System X enclosures that accept 2.5in SAS hot-swap trays will find the correct caddy included. Buyers needing a drive for non-SAS controllers, consumer laptops, or desktop PCs without a SAS backplane and matching caddy rails should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The SAS 12Gbps interface is the single specification that determines compatibility; the host system must provide a 12Gbps SAS backplane and the physical 2.5in hot-swap bay that accepts the supplied System X tray.

Highlights

  • 1TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200RPM spindle delivers responsive read/write performance
  • SAS 12Gbps interface provides high-throughput connectivity
  • 5in form factor fits dense server bays
  • Hot-swap tray enables drive replacement without downtime

Questions about this item

Does my server need a 2.5in SAS 12Gbps backplane to use the ST1000NX0453?

Yes, the drive uses a 2.5in SAS 12Gbps interface and requires a compatible backplane or controller that supports 12Gbps SAS signalling.

Will the included SYSTEM X caddy fit in a standard 3.5in drive bay?

The caddy is designed for 2.5in hot-swap bays in IBM System x servers; it will not fit a 3.5in bay without a separate adapter.

How can I verify the drive is running at 7200RPM after installation?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS or operating system disk utility; it should read 7200RPM.
