IBM 1.8TB 10K SAS 12Gbps Enterprise HDD
Looking for high-capacity, high-speed 10K SAS storage engineered for IBM enterprise servers and storage arrays? The IBM 1.8TB 10K SAS 12Gbps Enterprise Hard Drive (IBM FRU: 00NA271 / 00NA272 / 00NA273) is a high-density, high-speed 2.5-inch SFF storage drive designed for IBM Storwize, System x, and Flex System platforms. Operating at 10,000 RPM with a 128MB data cache, 512e advanced sector format, and dual-port SAS 12Gb/s interface, it delivers fast seek times (~4.0 ms), sub-3.0 ms average latency, and up to 250 MB/s sustained throughput. Designed for heavy OLTP databases, VMware/Hyper-V virtualization, and high-concurrency enterprise RAID arrays, it provides 2.0 million hours MTBF and 24×7 continuous data center reliability across Bangladesh.
Enterprise Performance and Architectural Overview
The IBM 1.8TB 10K SAS 12Gbps HDD maximizes 2.5-inch server storage density without compromising on mechanical access speed. By combining a 10,000 RPM spindle speed with a high-bandwidth 12Gb/s SAS dual-port interface and 128MB cache, it delivers rapid response times for concurrent database and virtualization workloads. Validated with IBM certified firmware for seamless Storwize and System x RAID array integration, 2.0 million hours MTBF, and 24×7 enterprise duty cycles, it provides dependable storage for enterprise data centers in Bangladesh.
Advanced Technical Standards and Multi-Gigabit Support
- 1.8TB High-Density 2.5-inch SFF Storage: Provides maximum storage capacity per drive slot in dense 1U/2U server chassis and storage enclosures.
- 10,000 RPM Spindle Speed (<3.0 ms Latency): Delivers fast mechanical seek times (~4.0 ms) and low rotational latency for transactional workloads.
- SAS 12Gb/s Dual-Port Interface: Enterprise-grade 12Gbps dual-port connectivity providing high interface throughput and redundant multi-path communication.
- 128MB Multi-Segmented Cache Buffer: Large onboard cache accelerates sequential and random read/write transfers up to 250 MB/s sustained throughput.
- IBM OEM Certified (FRU 00NA271): Native microcode ensures full compatibility with IBM Storwize V3700/V5000, System x, and Flex System arrays.
- 2.0 Million Hours MTBF & 24×7 Duty Cycle: Engineered for continuous non-stop data center operation with 0.44% AFR and advanced sector error recovery.
