Description
High Performance
The 90Y8926 IBM 146GB 15K RPM SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Hard Disk is a high-performance hard disk drive designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. The drive has a capacity of 146GB and spins at 15,000 RPM, which allows for faster data access and improved overall performance. It also supports the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides faster data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps. The “SFF” in the name stands for “Small Form Factor”, which means that the drive is designed to fit in smaller server and storage systems. The “G2” in the name refers to the generation of the drive, and “Hot Swap” means that the drive can be easily removed and replaced without having to power down the system.
Exceptional Reliability
The 90Y8926 IBM 146GB 15K RPM SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Hard Disk is designed to be highly reliable, as it is intended for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems where uptime and data availability are critical. The 15,000 RPM spindle speed of the drive allows for faster data access and improved overall performance, but it also generates more heat and wear on the moving parts of the drive, which can be a reliability concern. However, IBM has incorporated various reliability features such as enhanced error correction, vibration and shock protection, and power-loss protection to improve the overall reliability of the drive. Additionally, the SAS interface provides better data integrity and fault tolerance than SATA. The “Hot Swap” feature allows for easy replacement of the drive in case of failure, minimizing downtime.
Form Factor
The “SFF” in the name of the 90Y8926 IBM 146GB 15K RPM SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Hard Disk stands for “Small Form Factor”. This refers to the physical size and shape of the drive. Small Form Factor (SFF) drives are designed to fit in smaller server and storage systems, as well as in other space-constrained environments. The SFF hard drives have a smaller physical size compared to standard 3.5-inch hard drives and this allows them to fit in servers, disk arrays, and other storage devices that have limited space.
This specific drive is a 2.5 inches form factor drive, which is the standard size for SFF drives. The smaller size of these drives allows for more drives to be installed in the same amount of space, which can increase the storage capacity of the system and improve overall performance.
