💎 IBM 2TB 7.2K SAS 12Gb/s Enterprise Hard DriveModel: ST2000NX0273 | IBM PN: 00WK780 | IBM FRU: 00WK781 | 7,200 RPM | SAS 12Gb/s

The IBM 00WK780 (manufactured by Seagate as the Enterprise Capacity 2.5 V3 series) is a high-density, high-performance storage solution for modern data centers. This drive packs a massive 2TB of capacity into a compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), making it one of the highest-capacity mechanical drives available in this size. With a 12Gb/s SAS interface, it is designed for the rigorous 24/7 demands of IBM System x and Lenovo ThinkSystem servers.

📊 Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 💾 2 TB

• Interface: ⚡ SAS 12Gb/s (SAS-3)

• Spindle Speed: 🏎️ 7,200 RPM

• Cache: 🧠 128 MB

• Form Factor: 📏 2.5-inch SFF (15mm Height)

• Recording Technology: 🖋️ CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording)

• MTBF: 🛡️ 2.0 Million Hours

• Sector Format: 💾 512e (Advanced Format)

✅ Why This Drive Rocks

• Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited and verified for 100% health. Each drive is secure-erased to NIST 800-88 standards and tested for high-vibration RAID stability.

• Maximum Density: Ideal for users who need massive storage capacity but are limited to 2.5-inch drive bays. It allows for high-capacity NAS and backup pools within a standard 1U or 2U server.

• IBM/Lenovo Certified Firmware: Features authentic IBM firmware to ensure seamless integration with ServeRAID and ThinkSystem controllers. This ensures the drive is recognized as "Genuine," allowing for proper health monitoring and thermal control.

• 12Gb/s SAS Speed: The SAS-3 interface provides superior data throughput and dual-port redundancy, ensuring your data remains accessible even if a single controller path fails.

• 128MB Cache: A significantly larger buffer than older 2.5" drives, which helps manage random write requests and background metadata tasks more efficiently.

📦 Compatibility & Use Case

• Target Systems: Optimized for IBM System x (M4, M5), Lenovo ThinkSystem, and IBM Storwize V3700/V5000/V7000 expansion shelves.

• Ideal Workloads: High-density storage, bulk data archiving, large-scale video surveillance, and secondary storage tiers in virtualized environments.

• Physical Note: This drive is 15mm thick. While it fits most server trays, it is too thick for standard laptops or some ultra-slim consumer enclosures.
