Interface & form factor
This is an IBM 44W2294 2.5" internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface spinning at 15000 RPM. It is built for laptop bays that accept the 2.5" form factor and the serial attached SCSI protocol.
Suitable systems & limits
The drive fits notebooks or storage arrays designed for SAS 6Gb/s 2.5" devices and workloads that benefit from 15000 RPM rotational speed. Buyers whose hardware only provides a different drive interface or a larger 3.5" bay should look at other parts.
Deciding specification
The SAS 6Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines whether this 44W2294 will work in a given system; the host must support that exact protocol and the 2.5" physical format.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the 44W2294 get when running 15000 RPM all day?
The 2.5" SAS drive spins at 15000 RPM, so sustained operation produces noticeable whine and heat; ensure the laptop chassis has active cooling and vibration damping for this spindle speed.
What host interface must my system provide for the 44W2294 to operate?
The drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface; the laptop or controller must present a native SAS 6Gb/s port for the 44W2294 to be recognised and transfer data.
Will the 44W2294 work in a bay that currently holds a slower 2.5" drive?
Yes, the 2.5" form factor matches common laptop bays; the SAS 6Gb/s interface and 15000 RPM spindle simply require a compatible SAS controller and adequate cooling in the same slot.
