The IBM 90Y8879 is a 300GB SAS 6GBPS SFF (Small Form Factor) hard drive designed for use in enterprise-grade storage systems. It is a reliable and high-performance hard drive that can help businesses maintain continuous availability of their IT systems. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of the IBM 90Y8879 in detail.
OverviewThe IBM 90Y8879 is a 2.5-inch form factor hard drive with a storage capacity of 300GB. It is designed to be used in a hot-swappable environment, which means that it can be replaced while the system is running without interrupting the operation of the server. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that require high availability of their IT systems.
Rotational SpeedThe IBM 90Y8879 operates at 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is faster than most consumer-grade hard drives. This high rotational speed enables the hard drive to access data more quickly, resulting in faster read and write times. The high rotational speed also means that the IBM 90Y8879 generates less heat than slower hard drives, which helps to improve the overall performance and reliability of the storage system.
SAS InterfaceThe IBM 90Y8879 uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to connect to the server. SAS is a high-speed data transfer protocol that is commonly used in enterprise-grade storage systems. It provides faster data transfer rates than the older SCSI interface, making it ideal for use in high-performance storage environments. The SAS interface also provides greater scalability than other interfaces, which allows businesses to easily expand their storage capacity as their needs grow.
Data Transfer RateThe IBM 90Y8879 has a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This is the maximum speed at which data can be transferred between the hard drive and the server. The high data transfer rate, coupled with the high rotational speed, makes the IBM 90Y8879 an excellent choice for applications that require fast data access.
SFF Form FactorThe IBM 90Y8879 is a Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drive, which means that it is designed to be smaller and more compact than traditional hard drives. This allows it to be used in systems where space is limited, such as blade servers and other high-density storage environments. The smaller size also means that the IBM 90Y8879 consumes less power than larger hard drives, which helps to reduce the overall energy consumption of the storage system.
Hot Swap CapabilityThe IBM 90Y8879 is designed to be hot-swappable, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the system is running without causing any disruption to the operation of the server. This feature is particularly useful in environments where uptime is critical, as it allows for maintenance and upgrades to be performed without taking the system offline.
CompatibilityThe IBM 90Y8879 is designed to be compatible with a wide range of IBM servers and storage systems. However, it is important to check the compatibility of the hard drive with your system before purchasing it. This can be done by checking the manufacturer's website or consulting with an IT professional.
Fainaly, the IBM 90Y8879 is a reliable and high-performance hard drive designed for use in enterprise-grade storage systems. Its high rotational speed, fast data transfer rate, and hot swap capability make it an excellent choice for businesses that require continuous availability of their IT systems. The SFF form factor and SAS interface also make it an ideal choice for high-density storage environments. However, it is important to ensure that the hard drive is compatible with your system before purchasing it.
