Enterprise 15 000 RPM SAS drive
This IBM 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spins at 15 000 RPM and delivers 600 GB of capacity for transaction-heavy server workloads. It ships new with an IBM system caddy for direct installation in compatible hot-swap bays.
12 Gb/s SAS interface requirement
The drive communicates over a 12 Gb/s SAS link, so the host controller or backplane must support that signalling rate to realise full throughput. Systems limited to 6 Gb/s SAS will operate the drive at the lower speed.
Thermal and power profile
At 1.0 pound the unit adds minimal mass to a dense array, and its 15 000 RPM spindle demands adequate chassis airflow to maintain reliable operating temperatures. Power draw follows typical enterprise 2.5 inch SAS specifications under normal access patterns.

Questions about this item
How does the 15000 RPM speed affect performance in a server?
The 15000 RPM spindle reduces rotational latency, delivering faster random read and write response times for transaction-heavy workloads.
What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface limit in practice?
The 12Gb/s SAS interface caps the maximum sustained transfer rate at 12Gb/s, though actual throughput depends on the controller and system configuration.
Will the included caddy fit a standard 2.5-inch drive bay?
Yes, the drive ships with an IBM system caddy designed for standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in compatible servers.
