## Long description

IBM 01YM198-RFB is a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) enterprise hard drive offering 2.4TB of raw capacity and a 10,000 RPM spindle speed. Designed for deployment in servers and storage arrays, this IBM drive targets environments that require higher rotational performance and denser storage in a compact 2.5-inch form factor. The drive is intended for use in enterprise-class storage systems where sustained throughput, predictable latency and integration with server and SAN infrastructures are priorities.
Advantages
The 2.4TB capacity provides increased density compared with lower-capacity SFF drives while the 10K RPM speed reduces average seek and rotational latency versus lower-RPM models. The compact 2.5-inch format enables higher drive counts per chassis, supporting greater aggregate capacity and IOPS in rack-mounted and blade systems. As an IBM-branded enterprise drive (MPN 01YM198-RFB), it is engineered for compatibility with common server and storage platforms and for continuous operation in data center environments.
Suitable for
Database servers requiring consistent read/write performance
Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
Transactional workloads and application servers with frequent random I/O
High-density rack storage and hybrid storage tiers
