Enterprise SAS Hard Drive
The IBM ST1000NX0453 is a 1 TB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM. It is built for IBM System x servers and storage arrays that require a 12 Gb/s nearline drive. The silver chassis fits standard 2.5 inch drive bays in compatible enterprise chassis.
Suited for System x Upgrades
This drive suits administrators expanding capacity in qualified IBM System x platforms with SAS backplanes. It is not for desktop PCs, workstations or consumer laptops that lack SAS controller support. Buyers needing a different interface or form factor should look at other parts.
12 Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit
The single specification that decides compatibility is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface. Your server or array must provide a matching SAS backplane and controller. Without that connection the drive cannot be installed or recognised by the system.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 7200RPM SAS drive is operating correctly after installation in a System X server?
Check the server RAID controller BIOS or management utility to confirm the drive appears at 12Gb/s link speed, shows 1 TB capacity, and reports no SMART errors during initial patrol read.
What is included with the ST1000NX0453 and what must be sourced separately for a 2.5" bay?
The drive ships as a bare 2.5" SAS unit; a hot-swap tray or caddy compatible with your System X chassis and any required mounting screws must be purchased separately.
Which MPN should I select — 00NA492, 00NA491 or 00NA495 — for a 1 TB 7.2K RPM SAS replacement?
All three MPNs refer to the same 1 TB 7200RPM 12Gb/s SAS model; choose the part number that matches your System X service manual or existing drive label.
