Server-grade SAS hard drive
The IBM 44W2245 is a 600 GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied in retail packaging and carries a maximum external transfer rate of 768 MBps. The drive uses a hot-swap tray for quick replacement in supported chassis.
Suited for enterprise server arrays
This unit fits IBM BladeCenter blade servers and IBM System x platforms that accept 3.5 inch SAS hot-swap drives. It targets workloads demanding high spindle speed and dual-port SAS connectivity. Buyers needing larger capacities or different form factors should look at other storage classes.
15000 RPM spindle speed
The 15000 RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance envelope of the target server environment. It delivers the low latency and high IOPS required by transaction-heavy applications. Systems that cannot accommodate 15K SAS drives must select an alternative.

Questions about this item
What sustained throughput can the 6Gb/s SAS link deliver on this 15000 RPM drive?
The interface supports a maximum external data transfer rate of 768 MBps, matching the 6Gb/s SAS specification.
How much heat and noise should I expect when the 3.5" 15000 RPM spindle runs continuously in a server chassis?
A 15000 RPM enterprise drive generates significant heat and audible whine; plan for active airflow and acoustic damping in the enclosure.
Which server backplane or controller must I already have to install this hot-swap 3.5" SAS tray?
The drive fits IBM BladeCenter and System x hot-swap bays and requires a 6Gb/s SAS backplane or RAID controller with an available port.
