Product Identity

The IBM ST3300657SS is a new 300GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a SAS 6Gbps interface. It includes an IBM System X caddy and carries part numbers 49Y6093, 49Y6092 and 49Y6096.

Fit and Exclusions

This drive suits servers and storage arrays that accept a 3.5-inch SAS disk running at 15000RPM. Buyers who need a larger capacity than 300GB or who require a different physical interface should look at something else.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gbps interface combined with a 15000RPM rotational speed; the system backplane and controller must support this exact interface and speed for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

Does the ST3300657SS need a SAS controller that supports 6Gbps?

Yes, the drive uses a 3.5" SAS 6Gbps interface, so the host controller or backplane must support SAS at 6Gbps for full performance.

Can I use the included IBM SYSTEM X caddy in a non-IBM server chassis?

The caddy fits IBM SYSTEM X bays; other chassis may need a different tray or adapter to secure the 3.5" drive.

How do I verify the drive is running at 15000RPM after installation?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS, operating system disk utility, or SMART data — it should show 15000RPM.
