SKU CH-R9YP-BE9NY

A 500 GB SAS drive spinning at 7200 RPM in a 2.5 inch form factor, supplied new with a SYSTEM X tray

  • 500 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers fast sequential access
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface connects directly to servers
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense drive bays
  • Includes System X carrier tray for quick installation

500 GB 7200 RPM SAS hard drive

This 2.5 inch IBM drive delivers 500 GB of storage on a 6 Gbps SAS interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It ships new with a SYSTEM X carry tray included. The unit is built for internal server or storage array bays that accept SAS connections.

Suited for SAS-only bays and tray-mount servers

The drive fits 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap slots that use the supplied carry tray. It is not for systems that lack a SAS backplane or HBA, nor for laptops or desktops without SAS support. Buyers needing a different interface protocol or a higher capacity should consider other options.

6 Gbps SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 6 Gbps SAS interface on a 2.5 inch form factor. Verify that your controller and backplane support this exact interface before purchase. The included tray matches SYSTEM X mounting points.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller or backplane do I need to run the ST9500620SS at 6Gbps?

A 6Gbps SAS HBA or RAID card with a 2.5in drive bay or backplane is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector and will negotiate 6Gbps automatically.

Will the included SYSTEM X tray fit a non-IBM server that uses 2.5in SAS bays?

The tray follows the common 2.5in SAS form factor, so it fits most servers with tool-less 2.5in bays, but screw-hole alignment should be checked against the specific chassis.

How can I verify the ST9500620SS is running at 7200RPM and 6Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility — it should report 7200RPM spindle speed and a negotiated 6Gbps link rate for the drive.
