IBM - 00Y5702 - IBM 300GB 15K SAS 2.5 Inch HDD V5000 Gen1

The IBM 00Y5702 is a refurbished 300GB 15K RPM SAS 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive built for consistent performance and predictable latency in shared storage environments. With its 2.5-inch small form factor and SAS interface, it is well suited for hot data tiers and mixed read/write workloads where drive response time matters.

This part is commonly deployed in IBM Storwize V5000 Gen1 configurations as a like-for-like replacement, controlled capacity expansion, or as a tested spare for installed base systems. For broader platform alignment and related refurbished options in the same ecosystem, see IBM components and compatible RAID CONTROLLER hardware where applicable in your environment.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant characteristics for this IBM drive:

• 300GB capacity in a 2.5-inch small form factor to fit dense enterprise storage shelves and compact drive bays.
• 15K RPM spindle speed to support low-latency access for frequently used datasets and transactional workloads.
• SAS interface to provide reliable enterprise connectivity in supported storage backplanes.
• Compatibility with IBM Storwize V5000 Gen1 storage systems to support maintenance replacements and controlled expansion.
• Suitable for IBM Storwize family deployments (for example Storwize V5000 Gen1) to help keep homogeneous drive populations in production.
• Enterprise HDD design characteristics to support 24/7 operation in data center and storage room environments.
• Optimised for use in multi-drive arrays to support RAID configurations for availability and performance balancing.
• Refurbished, tested unit to provide a cost-effective way to extend the lifecycle of existing IBM storage installations.

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 sustaining legacy arrays, extending platform lifecycles, and reducing electronic waste while keeping budgets under control compared to buying new.

All products 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. If you need mounting options for supported shelves, check compatible CADDY items; for performance-oriented alternatives in supported systems, consider SSD options.
