The hard drive is capable of spinning at a speed of 7.2K RPM, which provides a good balance between performance and energy efficiency.
The 90Y8955 IBM Hard Drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol used in enterprise-level computing systems. The SAS interface provides a maximum data transfer rate of 6Gbps, which is faster than other types of interfaces such as SATA. This makes the 90Y8955 IBM Hard Drive suitable for use in applications that require high-speed data transfer, such as database servers, web servers, and other types of enterprise applications.
The 90Y8955 IBM Hard Drive has a form factor of 2.5 inches, which makes it smaller and more compact than other types of hard drives such as 3.5-inch drives. This is important for applications where space is at a premium, such as blade servers, rack-mounted servers, and other types of computing systems. The hard drive is also hot-swappable, which means that it can be replaced without powering down the server or interrupting its operation. This is important for applications that require high availability and uptime, as it allows for maintenance and upgrades to be performed without disrupting service.
Compatibility of the 90Y8955 IBM 500GB Hard DriveThe 90Y8955 IBM Hard Drive is compatible with a wide range of server and storage systems from IBM and other manufacturers.
