IBM - 23R0829 - IBM 146GB 10K FC HDD 1750/2107

IBM 23R0829 146GB 10K FC HDD (Refurbished)

The IBM 23R0829 is a 146GB Fibre Channel (FC) hard disk drive rated at 10K RPM, designed for enterprise storage environments where consistent performance and predictable latency matter. This drive is referenced for IBM system models 1750 and 2107, making it a practical replacement option for maintaining existing IBM storage installations and service spares.

In FC-based storage stacks, this HDD is typically deployed behind an FC backplane and managed by storage controllers for RAID protection and availability. For broader platform alignment, you can also source related refurbished IBM infrastructure parts to keep multi-generation environments running with consistent component sourcing.

When planning rebuilds or array expansions, ensure the drive type and interface match your enclosure requirements and the storage controller’s supported drive profiles. Depending on your configuration, pairing with the right RAID CONTROLLER helps maintain expected redundancy and rebuild behaviour in production arrays.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics and deployment-focused highlights for this IBM FC HDD:

• 146GB capacity and 10K RPM spindle speed to support steady transactional workloads and mixed read/write profiles.
• Fibre Channel (FC) interface to integrate with FC backplanes and enterprise storage connectivity.
• IBM part number 23R0829 identification to simplify like-for-like replacement in controlled BOMs.
• Referenced compatibility with IBM storage system models 1750 and 2107 to support maintenance and lifecycle extension in installed bases.
• Designed for 24/7 enterprise operation to fit data center and storage room duty cycles.
• Suitable for RAID arrays (controller-dependent) to enable redundancy and predictable recovery workflows.
• Hot-swap capable in supported IBM enclosures to reduce service windows during drive replacement.
• Good fit for spare pools and break/fix maintenance to keep legacy IBM FC storage online longer.

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 choice for extending the lifecycle of existing FC storage platforms, controlling budget versus new procurement, and reducing electronic waste.

All products include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries: three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. For installation needs, check matching carriers and mounting options such as CADDY, or evaluate alternative media like SSD where supported by your system and performance targets.
