## Long description

The IBM 500GB 7.2K 6Gbps NL SAS 2.5-inch SFF Slim-HS HDD (model 42D0707-RFB) is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive with 500 GB capacity, a 7200 RPM spindle speed and an NL-SAS interface supporting 6 Gbps transfer rates. Designed for IBM System x and BladeCenter environments, this Slim-HS drive fits compact server bays and can be used as a hot-swap or non-hot-swap unit depending on the chassis configuration, offering a higher-capacity SFF option within server storage lineups.
Advantages

NL-SAS interface at 6 Gbps ensures compatibility with enterprise SAS controllers while supporting reliable data access in server and blade systems. Its Slim-HS design allows deployment in space-constrained server trays and supports both hot-swap and non-hot-swap installations as determined by the host chassis.
Suitable for
Enterprise servers (System x, BladeCenter) requiring higher-capacity SFF drives
Blade and rack systems with 2.5" bays where space efficiency is needed
Applications that need a balance of capacity and 7200 RPM performance (databases, virtualization, general-purpose storage)
