Server hot-swap 500 GB drive
This IBM 81Y9727 is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive with a SATA 600 interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It offers 500 GB of capacity and supports hot-swap installation in compatible bays. The drive is designed for server and storage-system workloads.
Suited for hot-swap server bays
The unit fits the Lenovo Flex System x240 M5 compute node and other systems that accept 2.5 inch hot-swap SATA drives. Buyers who need a non-hot-swap laptop drive or a different physical interface should consider other options. It is not intended for standard consumer laptop upgrade slots that lack hot-swap support.
Hot-swap SATA 600 interface
The single specification that decides fitment is the hot-swap SATA 600 interface combined with the 2.5 inch form factor. Only systems equipped with matching hot-swap backplanes can use this drive. Verify that your chassis and controller support hot-swap SATA before purchasing.
