IBM 500GB 2.5" SAS 6Gbps Drive

This IBM ST9500620SS is a 500GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200RPM with a 6Gbps SAS interface. It ships new and includes the SYSTEM X carrier tray for direct installation in compatible bays. The drive targets servers and storage arrays that use 2.5-inch SAS slots.

Suits SAS Bays Only

The drive fits 2.5-inch bays wired for SAS 6Gbps and is designed for IBM System X platforms that accept the supplied tray. It will not work in enclosures that lack a SAS backplane or that require a different physical form factor. Buyers needing larger capacities or a different interface should consider other models.

6Gbps SAS Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6Gbps SAS interface on a 2.5-inch form factor. The host system must provide a matching SAS connector and backplane; any other interface will prevent the drive from functioning.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SAS drive and included SYSTEM X tray fit a standard 2.5" SAS hot-swap bay?

The drive is a 2.5" SAS 6Gbps unit and ships with the SYSTEM X carry tray, so it mounts directly into a compatible 2.5" SAS hot-swap bay.

What is the correct orientation when sliding the drive into the SYSTEM X tray before inserting it into the server?

Align the SAS connector end with the open side of the tray, press the drive firmly until the connector seats fully, then secure the tray latch.

How often should I run a surface scan on the 500GB 7200RPM SAS drive to catch early sector errors?

Schedule a monthly surface scan using the RAID controller or OS tools; replace the drive if reallocated sectors appear or SMART health drops below threshold.
