IBM - 01EJ014 - V5000 G2 600GB 2.5” 15k SAS HDD

Product Description

The IBM 01EJ014 is a 600GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive running at 15K RPM, built for enterprise storage environments where consistent I/O performance and predictable latency are required. It is commonly used as a replacement or expansion disk in IBM Storwize arrays, including the Storwize V5000 Gen2 family, and is a practical option for maintenance providers keeping identical media types across disk pools.

For teams standardising on IBM infrastructure, this drive supports like-for-like replacement strategies to keep supported disk slots populated with matching capacity and spindle speed. In surrounding server or storage architectures, it is also typically deployed behind compatible RAID CONTROLLER hardware where RAID is used to balance availability and performance.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment advantages for professional storage and maintenance teams:

• 600GB capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor to fit dense enterprise storage shelves and optimise rack space.
• SAS interface to support dual-path capable enterprise backplanes and robust connectivity in storage arrays.
• 15K RPM spindle speed to deliver strong random I/O performance for transactional workloads.
• Compatibility with IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 systems to simplify like-for-like replacement in supported disk slots.
• Suitable for IBM Storwize V5000/V5000 Gen2 families and related Storwize platforms to maintain consistent media types across pools.
• Enterprise HDD design characteristics to support 24/7 operation in data centre and production storage environments.
• Ideal as a spare part for maintenance providers to reduce time-to-repair and keep service inventories aligned to IBM arrays.
• Works well in performance tiers within hybrid storage designs to balance capacity and responsiveness where 15K SAS is required.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Choosing refurbished parts is a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing IBM storage environments, control budget compared to buying new, and reduce electronic waste.

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 sourcing of enterprise spares.

For complete physical integration, confirm the correct mounting hardware for your chassis and disk shelf, and match the required CADDY type used in your Storwize environment. If you are planning tier changes or a media refresh, evaluate compatible SSD options for different latency and endurance requirements while keeping the platform consistent.
