IBM ST973401LC 73.4GB 10000RPM Ultra-320 2.5" SCSI internal hard drive

SKU CH-10CT-6NBS6

A 73.4GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000RPM with an Ultra-320 SCSI interface

  • 4 GB capacity stores critical server data
  • 10000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction workloads
  • Ultra-320 SCSI interface delivers 320 MB/s bandwidth
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense IBM X Series bays
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer reliability

Capacity and Interface

This is a new IBM 73.4GB internal hard drive with a 2.5-inch form factor. It spins at 10000RPM and connects via an Ultra-320 SCSI interface. The drive suits servers or storage arrays that require this specific legacy interface and physical size.

Who This Suits

It fits administrators maintaining older IBM X Series systems or similar equipment that natively supports Ultra-320 SCSI on 2.5-inch bays. It is not for platforms lacking a compatible Ultra-320 SCSI controller or 2.5-inch drive bay, nor for workloads needing higher capacity or solid-state speeds.

Deciding Specification

The Ultra-320 SCSI interface is the single specification that determines compatibility. Verify the host system provides a matching Ultra-320 SCSI connection and 2.5-inch bay before purchase.

  • 10000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction workloads

Questions about this item

How do I install the ST973401LC into a 2.5-inch Ultra-320 SCSI bay and what step is often missed?

Slide the 2.5-inch drive into the hot-swap carrier, connect the 80-pin SCA connector firmly, then set a unique SCSI ID on the carrier jumpers before powering on; the ID step is the one most installers forget.

What maintenance or replacement will the 10000RPM mechanism need later?

The sealed 10000RPM spindle and actuator assembly have no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire 73.4GB unit when SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or seek errors appear.

What limit appears first on the Ultra-320 interface during sustained transfers?

The Ultra-320 SCSI bus caps sustained throughput at 320 MB/s, so the 10000RPM media can saturate the channel before its own internal transfer rate becomes the bottleneck.
