Product Description

The IBM 3TB 7.2K 6Gb/s Nearline SAS Hard Drive (Part Number: 81Y9878) is a 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) enterprise-class internal hard disk drive designed specifically for IBM System x servers and IBM System Storage infrastructure. Engineered for high-capacity backup storage, data centers, and server room deployments, it provides a cost-effective balance of scalable volume, performance, and long-term durability.

Operating at a 7200 RPM rotational speed with a high-speed SAS 6Gb/s interface, this drive delivers data transfer rates up to 600 MB/s. Nearline SAS (NL-SAS) technology combines the massive capacity of traditional enterprise SATA drives with the dual-port connectivity, enhanced error recovery, and robust reliability of the SAS protocol. Built for hot-swap environments, it allows system integrators to scale or replace drives without operational downtime.

Available from DataDive, a leading server and enterprise IT hardware provider in Qatar, this original IBM enterprise hard drive offers energy-efficient dual-voltage operation (5V/12V), seamless server integration, and dependable 24/7 reliability for enterprise RAID arrays, data backups, and cloud storage systems.

Key Features:

  • Enterprise 3 TB capacity designed for server backup systems and data centers

  • Nearline SAS (NL-SAS) 6Gb/s interface for high-throughput dual-port connectivity

  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivering sustained transfer speeds up to 600 MB/s

  • Standard 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) for broad IBM drive bay compatibility
