1 TB 7200 rpm SATA/300 hard drive
This 3.5 inch internal drive provides 1 TB of storage for compatible IBM System Servers. It operates at 7200 rpm with a SATA/300 interface and fits a standard 3.5 inch bay. The unit weighs approximately 2.20 lb and measures 1 inch high by 4 inches wide by 5.7 inches deep.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
It suits administrators upgrading or repairing an x3250 M4 or x3100 M4 server that requires a 3.5 inch SATA drive. Buyers needing a different interface, a 2.5 inch form factor, or higher spindle speeds should look elsewhere. Compatibility is limited to the servers listed in the specifications.
Deciding specification — SATA/300 interface
The drive uses the SATA/300 interface standard, which determines whether it matches the server backplane or controller. Verify that the target system supports this interface before purchase. No other interface or protocol is supported by this module.

Questions about this item
What drive bay size and height does the 43W7622 require?
The drive uses a standard 3.5" internal form factor and is 1" tall, so it fits any 3.5" bay with at least 1" of vertical clearance.
How do I connect the SATA/300 interface on the 43W7622, and what step is often missed?
Connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard or RAID controller and attach the SATA power connector; the step often missed is ensuring the controller is set to SATA/300 (3 Gb/s) mode rather than a slower legacy setting.
When should I expect to replace the 43W7622 in an x3250 M4 or x3100 M4 server?
As a 7200 rpm mechanical drive, plan replacement after 3–5 years of continuous operation or when SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or excessive seek errors.
