IBM 00Y2431 900GB 10K-RPM SAS 6Gb/s SFF 2.5 HDD
The IBM 00Y2431 is a 900 Gigabyte 10,000 RPM SAS 6Gb/s hot-swap SFF 2.5-inch enterprise hard disk drive certified for IBM System x servers. Offering 900GB of high-performance 10K RPM SAS storage in the compact 2.5-inch form factor, this drive is designed for enterprise server deployments requiring a balance of meaningful storage capacity and strong random I/O performance. The 900GB capacity tier bridges the gap between the more common 600GB and higher-capacity 1.2TB 10K SAS SFF models in the IBM enterprise HDD portfolio.
The 10,000 RPM spindle speed of the IBM 00Y2431 delivers substantially faster random access performance than 7,200 RPM nearline drives, making it well-suited for transaction-intensive workloads including OLTP databases, active email server stores, enterprise application data volumes, and virtual machine storage where I/O operations per second and access latency directly impact application responsiveness for end users. The SAS 6Gb/s interface provides the full bandwidth needed to deliver this drive's sequential throughput to the server's SAS backplane and RAID controller.
IBM certification of the 00Y2431 ensures validated compatibility with IBM System x server SAS backplanes, ServeRAID M5210 and other IBM RAID controllers, and IBM server firmware for continuous drive health monitoring through the Integrated Management Module. The hot-swap SFF 2.5-inch design supports live drive replacement without server downtime in IBM System x server RAID array configurations, enabling maintenance of production systems without scheduled outages for drive failure response or proactive replacement operations.
