IBM - 4008 - IBM 600GB 15K FC DISK DRIVE FC 4008

The IBM 4008 is a refurbished 600GB 15K Fibre Channel (FC) hard disk drive designed for enterprise storage environments where low latency and consistent I/O matter. With its 15K spindle speed and FC interface, this drive is a practical option for maintaining performance in legacy FC-based infrastructures and extending the service life of existing platforms.

Common deployment scenarios include transactional workloads, shared storage shelves, and SAN-connected systems that rely on FC back-end disk connectivity. For broader platform sourcing and compatible infrastructure components, see related IBM options, and consider pairing the drive with appropriate RAID CONTROLLER hardware to support redundancy and predictable rebuild behaviour in production arrays.

Key Features

Below are the main technical characteristics of the IBM 4008 FC disk drive for professional IT environments.

• 600GB capacity and 15K RPM spindle speed to support fast access to frequently used data and steady random I/O workloads.
• Fibre Channel (FC) disk interface to integrate with FC back-end storage architectures and SAN-connected disk shelves.
• IBM part/model reference “4008” to match replacement requirements in IBM storage ecosystems and maintenance contracts.
• Designed for enterprise storage duty cycles to support 24/7 operation in data center and service-provider environments.
• Suitable for RAID arrays when installed with compatible controllers to improve availability and protect against drive failure.
• Compatibility-oriented replacement drive for IBM FC drive populations to keep homogeneous disk groups and predictable performance.
• Optimised for legacy FC infrastructures to extend lifecycle where FC remains the standard for back-end disk connectivity.
• Field-replaceable component role to simplify maintenance workflows and reduce time spent on hardware refresh projects.

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 often used to extend the lifecycle of installed FC storage platforms, reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new.

Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase on most hardware (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark. If you also need mounting accessories or an alternative storage tier, review matching CADDY options and available SSD alternatives for mixed-performance environments.
