IBM - 45E1426 - IBM FC 4016 1TB 7.200 RPM SATA Hard Disk Drive

The IBM 45E1426 is a 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA hard disk drive designed for IBM FC 4016 environments where consistent, cost-controlled capacity expansion is required. With a SATA interface and enterprise-oriented rotational speed, it’s a practical choice for replacing aging drives, expanding pools, or keeping compatible systems in service without changing your storage architecture.

For broader platform sourcing and lifecycle maintenance, you can align this drive with other refurbished IBM infrastructure components. It also commonly operates alongside storage controllers such as RAID CONTROLLER options, depending on the system configuration and your redundancy requirements.

Key Features

Below are the key technical characteristics of this IBM hard drive for professional deployment and maintenance use.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished hardware supplied by Direct Hardware Supply. Units are cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects and to support reliable reuse in professional IT environments.

Choosing refurbished parts can extend the lifecycle of existing IBM platforms, reduce electronic waste, and control budgets compared to buying new. This product includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives, and tape libraries are covered by a three-month warranty), and extended warranty options are available on request. For installation needs, check matching mounting hardware such as CADDY, or consider alternative performance tiers with SSD options where supported.
