Drive capacity and interface
The IBM 42D0547 is a 1 TB internal hard drive with a SAS interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and fits a standard 3.5 inch bay. The silver unit is hot-swappable for server maintenance.
Upgrade path and fit
This drive replaces a failed or smaller SAS 300 unit in compatible IBM systems. The jump is worth it when you need the full 1 TB capacity at 7200 RPM performance. It does not suit builds that require a different interface or form factor.
Compatibility checks
Verify that your server backplane supports SAS 300 drives and accepts a 3.5 inch hot-swappable tray. Confirm the drive caddy matches your chassis before ordering. The refurbished condition means the unit has been tested but shows prior use.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.5" form factor fit my server drive bay?
The drive uses a standard 3.5" form factor designed for internal server bays that accept this size.
How do I install the SAS 300 drive correctly?
Insert the drive into the hot-swap bay until the connector seats firmly; the common mistake is stopping before the latch clicks.
When should I plan to replace this 7200 RPM drive?
Monitor SMART data for reallocated sectors or rising seek errors; replace the unit once those attributes approach threshold.
