IBM - 06P5760 - IBM 73.4 GB 10 rpm Ultra160 SCSI slim-line hdd

The IBM 06P5760 is a refurbished 73.4GB 10,000 rpm Ultra160 SCSI slim-line hard disk drive designed for legacy enterprise platforms that rely on U160 SCSI backplanes and controllers. It’s a practical choice for maintaining older IBM infrastructures where interface compatibility and consistent spindle speed matter for predictable I/O behaviour.

This drive is typically used as an internal disk in IBM server and storage environments and is well-suited for OS volumes, utility partitions, and smaller application datasets in SCSI-based systems. For broader platform sourcing, see related IBM hardware categories.

In SCSI deployments, selection of the correct controller and mounting hardware is essential. This model is commonly paired with compatible RAID CONTROLLER options and the appropriate CADDY for the target chassis/backplane.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant features for the IBM 06P5760 drive:

• 73.4GB capacity to support boot volumes, logs, and smaller datasets in SCSI-based systems.
• 10,000 rpm spindle speed to deliver responsive random I/O compared with lower-RPM enterprise HDDs.
• Ultra160 SCSI interface to integrate with U160 SCSI backplanes and SCSI RAID/HBA configurations.
• Slim-line form factor to fit servers and storage chassis designed around slim SCSI drive bays.
• Compatibility with IBM legacy SCSI server/storage families (for example, IBM xSeries and select IBM storage enclosures that use Ultra160 SCSI) to extend the life of installed platforms.
• Designed for RAID use with SCSI controllers to support redundancy and uptime-focused disk group configurations.
• Enterprise-class HDD design characteristics to support 24/7 operation in controlled data center or comms-room environments.
• Suitable for like-for-like replacement scenarios to maintain consistency across existing SCSI drive sets and spares holdings.

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 pragmatic way to keep proven SCSI-based systems operational, extend lifecycle, and reduce electronic waste while controlling budget versus buying new.

All products from Direct Hardware Supply 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, and we ship worldwide from Denmark.

If you are planning a storage refresh rather than a like-for-like replacement, consider migrating to SSD where supported by your platform and controller.
