IBM - 00W1547 - IBM 4TB 7.2K 6G SAS 3.5"

IBM 00W1547 4TB 7.2K 6G SAS 3.5" Enterprise HDD

The IBM 00W1547 is a refurbished 4TB enterprise hard drive built for dependable capacity in server and storage environments. It combines a 6Gb/s SAS interface with a 3.5-inch (LFF) form factor and a 7.2K RPM spindle speed, making it a practical option for nearline tiers, backups, and general-purpose file or application workloads where predictable operation matters.

This part is commonly deployed in IBM ecosystems; compatibility depends on the specific backplane, controller, and drive tray used in your chassis. For planning across related platforms and spares, see additional IBM options; the drive is also typically paired with an appropriate RAID CONTROLLER for array expansion and data protection, and installed using the correct server-specific CADDY.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant features for professional IT environments:

• 4TB capacity to add economical bulk storage for backups, archives, and general file workloads.
• 7.2K RPM spindle speed to balance capacity and consistent performance for nearline and mixed workloads.
• 6Gb/s SAS interface to support enterprise SAS backplanes and controller connectivity in server/storage chassis.
• 3.5-inch (LFF) form factor to fit LFF drive bays commonly used in many IBM System x servers and IBM Storwize/FlashSystem family enclosures (with the correct tray/caddy and SAS backplane).
• Designed for 24/7 enterprise operation to support always-on data center and server room deployments.
• Common compatibility within IBM System x and IBM Storwize/FlashSystem family environments to help maintain homogeneous fleets and simplify spares strategies (verify against your specific machine type and drive option list).
• Suitable for RAID arrays to support capacity expansion and resilience when paired with a compatible SAS RAID/HBA and drive policy.
• Refurbished unit, cleaned and tested by technicians to help reduce the risk of hardware defects in production use.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished enterprise hardware supplied by Direct Hardware Supply. Units are cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock, making them a practical choice for lifecycle extension, lab environments, and maintaining installed base systems while controlling budget compared to buying new.

The IBM 00W1547 includes 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.

If your workload requires lower latency or higher IOPS, consider tiering selected data to SSD while keeping HDD capacity for bulk storage where it fits best.
