IBM - 4612 - DS4200 500GB 7200 RPM SATA HDD

The IBM 4612 DS4200 500GB 7200 RPM SATA HDD is a refurbished enterprise hard drive designed for IBM System Storage DS4200 deployments. With 500GB capacity, a SATA interface, and 7200 RPM spindle speed, it is well-suited for capacity-oriented workloads such as file services, backup/archival tiers, and general-purpose storage in SMB and departmental environments.

For DS4200 environments, this drive is typically used to expand or replace failed disks while maintaining consistent performance characteristics across a disk group. It also integrates well with storage features commonly used in DS-series arrays, and can be paired with related components such as RAID CONTROLLER options and the correct mounting hardware like CADDY when you are standardising spares.

If you are planning a mixed-media tier or evaluating flash upgrades in the same IBM estate, consider alternative capacity/performance profiles available in the SSD range. For broader platform sourcing across servers and storage, see the full IBM portfolio.

Key Features

Key technical attributes and deployment-relevant points for this DS4200 hard drive:

• 500GB capacity to provide cost-effective disk space for general-purpose enterprise storage pools.
• 7200 RPM spindle speed to balance throughput and capacity for read-heavy and mixed workloads.
• SATA interface to support DS4200 drive connectivity and standard SATA-based disk configurations.
• Designed for IBM System Storage DS4200 compatibility to maintain consistent operation within DS4200 arrays.
• Suitable for DS4000-series environments (e.g., DS4200 family) to support like-for-like replacements and spare stocking.
• Enterprise storage drive class characteristics to support 24/7 operation in storage enclosures.
• Optimised for array use cases to support RAID-protected volumes and predictable rebuild behaviour when used in matched sets.
• Practical spare part for maintenance providers to reduce downtime during disk replacement in DS4200 installations.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished drives are a practical option for extending the lifecycle of existing IBM DS4200 storage systems, controlling budget compared to buying new, and reducing electronic waste.

Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (three-month warranty applies to batteries, tape drives and tape libraries). Extended warranty options are available on request. We are an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware shipping worldwide from Denmark.
