The IBM 90Y8953 is a high-capacity, high-speed, and high-performance hard drive used in servers and storage systems. This internal hard drive has a capacity of 500GB, rotates at a speed of 7.2K RPM, and has a SAS 6GBPS interface. It is hot-swappable and has a 64MB cache memory. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the IBM 90Y8953 hard drive.
Capacity and InterfaceThe IBM 90Y8953 hard drive has a capacity of 500GB, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data, such as files, documents, photos, and videos. The SAS 6GBPS interface provides high-speed data transfer rates, enabling the hard drive to deliver fast and efficient performance. SAS is a serial interface that uses point-to-point connections to transfer data between devices. This interface is widely used in enterprise-level applications, such as servers and storage systems, due to its high data transfer rates and reliability.
Rotation Speed and Cache MemoryThe IBM 90Y8953 hard drive has a rotation speed of 7.2K RPM, which is considered a high-speed rotation for a hard drive. This speed allows the hard drive to read and write data quickly, resulting in faster application performance and improved system responsiveness. The 64MB cache memory provides a temporary storage area for frequently accessed data, allowing the hard drive to retrieve data quickly and efficiently. This feature also helps to improve the overall performance of the hard drive and the system it is installed in.
Hot-Swappable DesignThe IBM 90Y8953 hard drive is designed to be hot-swappable, which means that it can be replaced or removed without shutting down the system. This feature is especially useful in environments where system downtime is not acceptable or must be kept to a minimum. Hot-swappable hard drives enable IT professionals to perform maintenance tasks or upgrade the system without interrupting the workflow.
CompatibilityThe IBM 90Y8953 hard drive is compatible with a wide range of IBM and Lenovo servers and storage systems. It can be used as a primary or secondary hard drive, depending on the system configuration. Some of the compatible systems include the IBM System x3100 M4, x3250 M4, x3400 M3, x3500 M4, x3550 M4, x3650 M4, and the Lenovo ThinkServer RD240, RD330, RD340, RD430, RD440, and TD340.
