IBM 300GB SAS 10K Laptop Drive
This IBM 44W2265 is a 300GB 2.5 inch Serial Attached SCSI drive spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for server environments that demand high-throughput internal storage in a slim hot-swap form factor. The drive includes hardware-based encryption as a standard feature.
Suited For Secure Server Storage
This drive suits administrators who need a self-encrypting SAS drive for compatible IBM servers or storage arrays. The slim hot-swap tray allows quick replacement in supported bays. Buyers who require larger capacities or a different physical interface should look at alternative products.
6Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6Gb/s SAS interface. Your server or controller must support this exact SAS generation and the 2.5 inch slim hot-swap form factor. Verify the part number 44W2265 against your system's qualified hardware list before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM SAS drive produce during continuous operation?
The 10000 RPM spindle speed means the drive generates more heat and audible noise than slower laptop drives; ensure your chassis provides adequate airflow for 2.5" SAS devices.
Does my system need a SAS controller and a hot-swap backplane to use the included Slim-HS tray?
Yes, a compatible SAS host bus adapter or RAID card with 6Gb/s support and a 2.5" hot-swap backplane are required for the drive to function.
Will this 6Gb/s SAS drive work in an older 3Gb/s SAS server without changes?
The drive negotiates down to 3Gb/s on legacy SAS backplanes, so it operates normally with older controllers and cabling.
