500 GB 7.2K RPM SATA drive

This 2.5 inch IBM drive delivers 500 GB of storage on a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and ships new with a System X hot-swap tray. The form factor suits servers and compact workstations that use 2.5 inch bays.

Capacity and headroom

Five hundred gigabytes hold an operating system, core applications and a moderate data set with room to spare. At 7200 RPM the drive serves sequential reads and writes fast enough for typical server workloads, while random I/O remains limited by mechanical latency.

Build integration

The included tray slides into any System X hot-swap bay that accepts 2.5 inch SATA drives. A standard SATA data and power cable is all the drive needs beyond the bay. The compact height leaves space for additional drives in dense chassis configurations.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" 500GB 7200RPM SATA drive fit in a 3.5" bay using the included System X caddy?

The supplied System X caddy adapts the 2.5" drive to a standard 3.5" hot-swap bay so it installs directly without extra brackets.

How can I verify the 7200RPM 6Gb/s SATA drive is running at full speed after installation?

Check the BIOS or operating-system device properties; they should report a 6Gb/s SATA link and 7200RPM rotation rate for model ST9500620NS.

Does the package contain only the bare drive or also the System X hot-swap tray?

The listing confirms the System X caddy/tray is included, so no separate tray purchase is needed for compatible servers.
