300 GB 10K Fibre Channel Drive
The IBM 23R0831 is a refurbished 3.5-inch internal hard disk drive with a 300 GB capacity and a 10000 rpm spindle speed. It connects via a 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface and is classified as a switch module component for network commercial environments. The unit weighs 5.1 units and measures 1 by 1 by 1 units.
Suits legacy Fibre Channel arrays
This drive fits administrators maintaining existing 2 Gbps Fibre Channel storage arrays or switch modules that require a 3.5-inch 10K spindle replacement. It is not suitable for buyers who need a new condition unit, a different interface than Fibre Channel, a capacity other than 300 GB, or a spindle speed other than 10000 rpm.
2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface; the drive will only operate in enclosures and controllers designed for that exact protocol and speed. Verify your system documentation lists 2 Gbps Fibre Channel support before purchasing this refurbished module.

Questions about this item
How often will the 10000Rpm 3.5Inch Fibre Channel drive need replacement?
Enterprise 10000Rpm drives are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement on your array's refresh cycle or when SMART attributes indicate wear.
What limit appears first when the 2Gbps Fibre Channel link runs sustained writes?
The 2Gbps interface caps throughput before the 10000Rpm spindle saturates, so sustained writes hit the link ceiling first.
How much noise and heat does the 300Gb 10000Rpm module add in an all-day rack?
Expect audible seek noise and measurable case warming; the 10000Rpm mechanism runs hotter than slower enterprise drives.
