  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface sustains high throughput
  • 5" hot-swap caddy enables tool-less replacement

IBM 600 GB 10K SAS Drive

This 2.5-inch SAS hard drive delivers 600 GB of storage at 10,000 RPM with a 64 MB cache. It is built for IBM System x servers and storage arrays that require a 6 Gb/s SAS connection and hot-swap capability. The included caddy ensures a direct fit into compatible drive bays without additional hardware.

Hot-swap caddy and SAS interface

The supplied System x caddy locks the drive into the chassis for tool-free replacement while the system remains powered on. A 6 Gb/s SAS interface provides dual-port redundancy and consistent throughput for multi-drive arrays. The 2.5-inch form factor allows higher density deployments compared with 3.5-inch alternatives.

Verify SAS backplane and caddy compatibility

Confirm that your server or enclosure accepts 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap drives and uses the same caddy latch mechanism. Check that the RAID controller or HBA supports 6 Gb/s SAS speeds and the required sector format. Ensure the drive bay count and power budget can accommodate the additional unit.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 Gb/s SAS interface cap in practice?

The 6 Gb/s SAS link limits sustained throughput to roughly 600 MB/s, and the 10000 RPM platters with 64 MB cache typically deliver well below that ceiling.

What physical space and mounting does the drive need?

It is a 2.5 inch form factor and ships with the IBM System x hot-swap caddy, so it fits a standard 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap bay.

How is the drive installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide the caddy into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the common mistake is not pushing far enough to engage the SAS connector fully.
