Hard drive IBM 1.2TB 10,000 RPM 6Gb/s SAS 2.5" enterprise drive

IBM 1.2TB 10,000 RPM 6Gb/s SAS 2.5" enterprise drive (MPN 00Y5709-RFB, EAN 5715063056653) is a 2.5-inch hard disk drive designed for server and storage systems. With 1.2TB capacity, 10,000 RPM spindle speed and 6Gb/s SAS interface, this enterprise hard drive provides block-level storage optimized for transactional databases, virtualization hosts and mixed-use storage arrays where consistent throughput and low latency matter.

Advantages

The IBM enterprise drive combines high rotational speed and an SAS 6Gb/s interface to deliver predictable performance for I/O-intensive workloads. Its 2.5" form factor reduces rack space and power consumption compared with larger drives while offering 1.2TB of usable capacity. The drive is suitable for 24/7 datacenter operation and integration into RAID arrays, delivering stable throughput and lower seek times for random read/write operations.

Suitable for

• Database servers and OLTP systems requiring low latency
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• Mixed-use storage arrays combining capacity and performance
• RAID configurations in enterprise SAN/NAS systems
