What this drive is
The IBM 90Y8926 is a new 146GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive that spins at 15000 RPM with a 64MB cache. It connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface and is supplied with an installation publication, warranty information and a safety flyer. The tray type is hot-swap.
Who it suits and who it does not
This drive suits servers or workstations that require a 2.5-inch SAS drive running at 15000 RPM for high-throughput workloads. It does not suit systems that only accept SATA connectors, nor buyers who need a 3.5-inch form factor or capacities above 146GB.
The spec that decides fit
The SAS 6Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive will work in your system; the host must provide a compatible SAS backplane or controller.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 15000 RPM SAS drive is performing correctly after installation?
