IBM - 00RY148 - V3700 G1 1.8TB 12G SAS 10k 2.5" HDD

IBM 00RY148 1.8TB 12G SAS 10K 2.5" Drive for Storwize V3700

The IBM 00RY148 is a 1.8TB 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive built for IBM Storwize V3700 storage environments. With a 12Gb/s SAS interface and 10K RPM spindle speed, it is well-suited for performance-focused HDD tiers, mixed workload storage pools, and consistent latency in shared array deployments. Typical use cases include capacity expansion and like-for-like replacement to keep V3700 systems operating with predictable behaviour.

For broader platform alignment across your installed base, you can also browse related IBM hardware categories. In V3700 configurations, this class of 12G SAS drive commonly operates behind the system backplane and is managed by array-side RAID CONTROLLER functionality for redundancy and availability. If you are planning a tiering strategy, consider where HDD capacity fits alongside SSD options for higher-IOPS workloads.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant features for enterprise storage maintenance and expansion:

• 1.8TB raw capacity to add mid-tier capacity for IBM Storwize V3700 storage pools.
• 12Gb/s SAS interface to support high-bandwidth connectivity in SAS backplane shelf architectures.
• 10K RPM rotational speed to balance performance and cost for virtualisation, databases, and shared file services.
• 2.5-inch SFF form factor to fit dense V3700 drive enclosures and optimise rack space.
• Compatible with IBM Storwize V3700 systems and expansion enclosures, for example Storwize V3700 SFF drive shelves within the V3700 family.
• Designed for use in RAID-protected disk groups to support availability during disk replacement and rebuild operations.
• Enterprise HDD duty-cycle characteristics to support 24/7 operation in data centre storage environments.
• Field-replaceable drive component to simplify spares management and reduce time-to-repair in V3700 maintenance workflows.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished drives are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing IBM storage infrastructure, reduce electronic waste, and control budgets compared to buying new—especially when you need matching parts for installed systems.

All products from Direct Hardware Supply include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark for fast B2B fulfilment. If you need mounting hardware for your enclosure, match this drive with the correct CADDY type for your V3700 chassis.
