IBM® 2 TB, 4 TB, and 6 TB 7,200 rpm 6 Gbps and 12 Gbps 3.5-inch hot-swap NL

SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) and self-encrypting drives (SEDs) can provide the

performance required for extensive storage capacity while providing the flexibility of

hot-swap. These new drives are 512 emulation (512e), a type of Advanced Format

drive, which is a new technology for increasing drive capacities while maintaining

data integrity. All NL SAS drives are RoHS compliant.

HDD features include:

• 7,200 rpm HDDs deliver NL SAS HDD reliability and largest capacity performance

in the IBM HDD family.

• NL SAS drive-to-host interface supports up to 12.0 Gbps burst rate, which can

be achieved when the drive is used on a System x® server with 12 Gbps devices

and infrastructure.

• 3.5-inch, slim-line form factor optimizes storage capacity.

• Software utilities allow for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology

(S.M.A.R.T.) to alert you of certain impending drive failures so that replacements

can be made.

• Hot-swap versions of the IBM NL SAS 3.5-inch HDDs are available.

• One-year warranty is included.

• For optimal performance with 512e drives, the host system software stack must

be 512e aware. Note: For more information, reference IBM's Advanced Format

Redpaper

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5119.html

SED features include:

• Drive-level AES 256 encryption

• Safeguard against costly security breaches and exposure of proprietary data if a

hard drive is stolen or lost

• Rich security options to help ensure compliancy with data security, information

disclosure, and privacy regulations for data at rest

• Ability to securely erase data for disk disposition, redeployment, or service calls

• Encryption functionality (supported when used in conjunction with supported

ServeRAID controllers and optional Advance Feature Keys)

Hardware requirements None. Software requirements The new IBM 7,200 rpm NL SAS 3.5-inch 512e HDDs and SEDs work with most operating systems. Some OS limitations have been found to exist when using drives with capacities greater than 2.2 TB in JBOD configurations on 6 Gbps controllers. With earlier release versions of some OSs, the boot drive must be 2 TB, or smaller. However, the larger-size drives may be utilized for data storage capacity.

Benefits Increased uptime: The Electronic Service Agent tool is designed to enhance the Warranty or Maintenance Agreement by providing faster hardware error reporting and uploading system information to IBM Support. This can translate to less wasted time monitoring the "symptoms," diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a problem record.

IBM part or feature that replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. An IBM part or feature added to a machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature is subject to a full warranty effective on its date of installation. Unless specified otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level of a part or feature are the same as those for the machine in which it is installed.
