IBM - 00V7079 - IBM DS4200 2TB SATA 7.2KRPM EVDDM

IBM 00V7079 DS4200 2TB SATA 7.2KRPM EVDDM

The IBM 00V7079 is a 2TB SATA enterprise hard drive running at 7.2K RPM, supplied as an EVDDM (Enhanced Value Disk Drive Module) for IBM System Storage DS4200 environments. It is designed for predictable, 24/7 operation in DS4000-series storage where consistent capacity and straightforward SATA integration are required. For broader platform sourcing and standardisation across sites, you can align this build with other IBM infrastructure components.

This EVDDM is typically used for like-for-like replacements or capacity expansion in DS4200 arrays and related DS4000 family deployments, helping maintenance providers and system integrators keep existing storage platforms in service longer. When planning RAID group rebuilds or shelf expansions, selecting compatible RAID CONTROLLER options and firmware-supported drive types is key to maintaining stable operation.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics of the IBM 00V7079 EVDDM for DS4200 storage environments:

• 2TB capacity to increase usable storage for file, backup, and general-purpose block workloads.
• SATA interface to support cost-effective capacity tiers in compatible IBM DS4000-series arrays.
• 7.2K RPM spindle speed to provide steady throughput for capacity-oriented workloads.
• EVDDM (Enhanced Value Disk Drive Module) form factor to match IBM DS4200 drive carrier/module requirements.
• Compatibility with IBM System Storage DS4200 to simplify like-for-like replacements in existing shelves.
• Support for DS4000 family deployments (for example DS4200 and similar DS4xxx arrays using SATA EVDDM drive modules) to standardise spares across locations.
• Hot-swap serviceability in supported DS4200 configurations to reduce downtime during drive replacement procedures.
• Suitable for RAID sets to improve resilience and maintain service continuity during disk failures.

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 a practical option for extending the lifecycle of DS4000-series storage, controlling budget compared to buying new, and reducing electronic waste.

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.

For installation planning, confirm you have the correct module type and mounting hardware for your shelf; related options are available under CADDY. If you are modernising capacity tiers while keeping the DS4200 footprint, alternative media options are available under SSD.
