IBM 300GB 2.5" SAS 10000 RPM Drive
This new IBM 90Y8877 is a 300GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 6Gb/s interface. It is built for hot-swap bays in enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand consistent throughput and proven reliability in RAID configurations.
Capacity and RAID headroom
The 300GB capacity suits operating-system volumes, database logs, or high-transaction workloads where low latency matters more than raw capacity. In multi-drive RAID sets the 10000 RPM spindle and 6Gb/s link keep rebuild times short, but the drive will run out of space quickly for bulk media archives or large virtual-machine libraries.
SAS 6Gb/s hot-swap interface
The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s hot-swap connection; the drive only works in controllers and backplanes that support this exact interface and tray type. Systems limited to SATA-only ports or fixed-mount cages cannot accept it.

Questions about this item
Will the 10000 RPM SAS 6Gb/s 2.5" drive work in a server that currently uses 7200 RPM SATA drives?
Yes, the SAS interface is backward compatible with SATA backplanes, so the drive can share the same chassis, though the controller must support SAS to utilise the 6Gb/s link speed.
How can I verify the 90Y8877 is running at its rated 10000 RPM after installation?
Check the SMART data or the RAID controller BIOS; both will report the spindle speed as 10000 RPM and the negotiated link rate as 6Gb/s SAS.
Does the hot-swap 2.5" tray come with the 300GB drive or must I order it separately?
The drive ships in a hot-swap tray as shown in the manufacturer highlights, so no separate tray purchase is required for standard IBM System x bays.
