300 GB SAS switch module for enterprise storage
The IBM 49Y6093 is a 3.5 inch switch module designed for hot-swap drive bays. It provides a 300 GB capacity and spins at 15000 RPM for transaction-heavy workloads. The unit ships new with a tray for direct rack installation.
SAS 6 Gbps interface limits cable length
The 6 Gbps SAS link restricts maximum cable runs compared with lower-speed interconnects. Each wide port supports a finite number of attached drives before bandwidth saturates. Systems requiring longer reach or higher device density need a different interconnect standard.
