  • 500 GB capacity stores large datasets and applications
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers quick data access
  • 64 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects directly to enterprise controllers
  • Includes System X hot-swap caddy for tool-less installation

2.5" SAS 6Gb/s 500GB drive

This IBM ST9500620SS is a 2.5-inch SAS hard drive with a 6Gb/s interface, 7200RPM spindle speed and 64MB cache. It ships new in a System X hot-swap tray and reports zero power-on hours. The drive is built for internal server and storage-array bays that accept 2.5-inch SAS devices.

Suited for SAS hot-swap bays

Administrators replacing failed drives in System X or compatible SAS enclosures will find the correct form factor, interface and tray included. Environments that require a different interface protocol or a 3.5-inch form factor cannot use this unit. Buyers needing larger capacity or solid-state performance should select another model.

6Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6Gb/s SAS interface. Only controllers and backplanes that support this exact SAS signalling rate will operate the drive correctly. Verify the host system accepts 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the ST9500620SS produce when running continuously in a System X server?

The 7200RPM 2.5" SAS drive is designed for hot-swap System X bays with the included caddy; typical enterprise 2.5" drives run within standard server thermal limits and emit low acoustic levels suitable for rack environments.

What controller or backplane must my system already have to use the 6Gb/s SAS interface on this drive?

The drive requires a 6Gb/s SAS host bus adapter, RAID controller or System X backplane with a standard SAS connector; it connects directly to the SAS interface without an interposer.

Will the included System X caddy let me install this 2.5" SAS drive in an older 3.5" bay or legacy server chassis?

The supplied caddy fits System X 2.5" hot-swap bays; it does not convert the drive to a 3.5" form factor, so an older chassis needs native 2.5" SAS slots or a separate 3.5" adapter tray.
