Product Identity

This is an IBM 600 GB hard drive with a 10 000 rpm spindle speed and a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. It uses a 2.5 inch internal form factor and carries part number 00Y2503. The drive is built for enterprise storage arrays that accept SAS devices.

Who It Suits

It suits administrators expanding an IBM Storwize V3700 storage array with additional SAS capacity. It is not suited for systems that lack a SAS backplane or controller, nor for workloads that demand a different interface or larger capacity.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 6 Gb/s SAS interface combined with the 2.5 inch form factor. Only bays and controllers that support this exact interface and physical size can accept the drive.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" form factor fit the drive bays in an IBM Storwize V3700 Storage Array?

Yes, the 2.5" form factor matches the drive bays used by the IBM Storwize V3700 Storage Array.

How is the 6Gb/s SAS drive installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the hot-swap bay until the SAS connector seats fully, then close the handle to lock it; the step often missed is not pushing far enough to engage the latch.

When should the 10000 rpm SAS drive be replaced in a RAID set?

Replace the drive when SMART attributes show reallocated sectors or when the array controller flags a predictive failure alert.
