3.5 inch SAS hard drive with silver metal casing

IBM

IBM 10TB 7.2K 12Gbps SAS 3.5" 512e HDD

SKU CH-KXC3-VQQ6Y

A 10 TB SAS hard drive spins at 7.2K RPM with a 12 Gbps interface in a 3.5 inch 512e form factor

  • 10 TB capacity for large-scale data storage
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface enables fast host connectivity
  • 2 K rpm spindle speed balances throughput and power draw
  • 512e sector format ensures broad server compatibility

High-capacity SAS hard drive

This 10 TB SAS drive operates at 7.2K RPM with a 12 Gbps interface and 512e formatting in a 3.5 inch form factor. It is designed for nearline storage in servers and arrays that require large sequential capacity. The drive suits administrators who need cost-effective bulk storage on a standard SAS backplane.

Capacity and workload fit

The 10 TB capacity handles archival datasets, backup targets and cold-tier workloads comfortably. The 7.2K spindle speed and SAS interface limit sustained random IOPS, so latency-sensitive databases or heavy transactional queues will run out of performance headroom. Buyers who need faster random access or higher throughput should consider drives with quicker rotational speeds or different interfaces.

Highlights

  • 10 TB capacity for large-scale data storage
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface enables fast host connectivity
  • 2 K rpm spindle speed balances throughput and power draw
  • 512e sector format ensures broad server compatibility

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gbps SAS interface work with my existing 6Gbps SAS backplane?

Yes, the 12Gbps SAS drive is backward compatible with 6Gbps SAS controllers and backplanes, though it will operate at the lower 6Gbps speed.

How can I verify the 512e formatting is active after installation?

Check the logical block size reported by your operating system or RAID controller; it should show 512 bytes per sector for the 10TB volume.
