From IBM
IBM 00Y2428 300GB 15K-RPM SAS 6Gb/s SFF 2.5 Hard Disk Drives
The IBM 00Y2428 is a 300 Gigabyte 15,000 RPM SAS 6Gb/s hot-swap SFF 2.5-inch enterprise hard disk drive certified for IBM System x servers, representing the maximum available mechanical spindle speed in the compact 2.5-inch form factor. The combination of 15K RPM and SFF 2.5-inch design is relatively rare in the enterprise HDD market, making this drive uniquely positioned for IBM server deployments requiring maximum-speed SAS storage in compact server configurations that use 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays rather than larger 3.5-inch LFF configurations.
At 15,000 RPM, the IBM 00Y2428 delivers the lowest rotational latency achievable with conventional hard disk drive technology, approximately 2 milliseconds average rotational latency compared to 3 milliseconds for 10K RPM and 4 milliseconds for 7,200 RPM drives. This difference in rotational latency compounds significantly under high I/O load in OLTP database environments, real-time transaction processing systems, and high-frequency applications where queue depths are high and every reduction in per-I/O latency improves overall application throughput and response time for business users.
