IBM - 00Y5144 - IBM DCS3700 4TB 7,2K NL-SAS Hard Disk

IBM 00Y5144 4TB 7.2K NL-SAS Hard Disk for DCS3700

The IBM 00Y5144 is a 4TB 7,200 RPM NL-SAS hard disk engineered for IBM DCS3700 storage systems, providing high-capacity spinning media for shared storage pools, archive tiers, and general-purpose bulk workloads. The NL-SAS interface is designed for SAS-based backplanes and controller connectivity typically found in enterprise disk shelves, making it a practical option when capacity-per-drive and predictable HDD behaviour are prioritised.

For end-to-end integration in IBM storage environments, this drive is commonly deployed in RAID-protected pools with compatible RAID CONTROLLER options, and installed using the correct CADDY for your chassis. If you are standardising on flash for specific tiers, complementary SSD options can be used for latency-sensitive volumes, while retaining HDDs for capacity-focused datasets.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant characteristics for professional storage operations:

• 4TB capacity to increase usable storage per slot for bulk data, backup repositories, and archive tiers.
• 7,200 RPM spindle speed to balance capacity and consistent HDD performance for general-purpose enterprise workloads.
• NL-SAS interface to support SAS backplanes and controllers commonly used in enterprise storage shelves.
• Designed for IBM DCS3700 environments to maintain platform consistency in mixed-drive or expansion scenarios.
• Compatibility with IBM DCS3700 storage systems and related IBM disk shelf configurations, for example IBM DCS3700 expansions and IBM storage system families that utilise NL-SAS HDD tiers.
• Enterprise-class HDD design to support 24/7 operation in data center and service-provider storage deployments.
• Suitable for RAID-protected pools to help improve availability and simplify drive replacement procedures during maintenance.
• Refurbished part sourcing to extend the lifecycle of existing IBM storage installations without forcing a full platform refresh.

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 way to extend the lifecycle of existing storage platforms, reduce electronic waste, and control budgets compared to buying new.

Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (three months for batteries, tape drives and tape libraries). Extended warranty options are available on request. As an international supplier shipping worldwide from Denmark, Direct Hardware Supply supports service providers, system integrators, and maintenance teams sourcing reliable IBM spares for ongoing operations.
