What is the capacity and speed of the IBM 49Y2005?

The IBM 49Y2005 provides 600GB formatted capacity with a 10,000 RPM spindle speed, 64MB cache, and 6Gbps SAS interface for sustained transfers up to 151 MBps. This configuration delivers average latency of 3.0 ms, making it suitable for high-I/O enterprise applications.

Is the 49Y2005 hot-swappable?

Yes, it features a G2 slim hot-swap tray included, allowing replacement without system shutdown. Compatible with IBM System x servers and ServeRAID controllers like M5015, it supports seamless maintenance in RAID environments for 24/7 availability.

What form factor and interface does it use?

It is a 2.5-inch SFF (Small Form Factor) drive with SAS 6Gbps interface. Dimensions are approximately 70mm wide by 100mm deep, weighing 0.475 lb, optimizing density in rack and blade servers while supporting up to 6.0 Gbps burst rates.

Which servers is the IBM 49Y2005 compatible with?

Designed for IBM System x3850, x3950 X5, and x3650 M3 servers. Works with ServeRAID M5014/M5015/M5110/M1115 controllers supporting RAID-0/1/5/10/50, ideal for enterprise storage expansions.

What performance specs define its enterprise use?

Key specs include 10K RPM, 6Gbps SAS, 64MB cache, and 600GB capacity with 3.0 ms latency. It enables high IOPs in data centers for virtualization, databases, and transaction processing via hot-swap reliability.

Does it support RAID configurations?

Yes, pairs with ServeRAID M5015 or M5110 for RAID-0/1/5/10/50. Optional M5000 Series keys enable RAID-6/60 and SED support, providing robust data protection and performance in bulk enterprise deployments.
