The IBM 73P8008 (also numbered 25R6921) is a 250GB 7,200 RPM SATA hard disk drive with an 8MB cache, built in a 3.5-inch Simple-Swap carrier for IBM eServer xSeries systems such as the xSeries 226. It uses a 3Gb/s SATA interface and is designed to install directly into a compatible xSeries drive bay for tool-free replacement or capacity expansion. xSeries servers of this era remain in service across a number of established legacy IT deployments, and genuine drives such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full array capacity, restoring redundancy after a failure, or supporting continued operation of older xSeries hardware that is still doing useful work. Specifiers should confirm the exact drive bay and carrier configuration against their specific xSeries model before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM server hard drives to support ongoing maintenance of legacy xSeries deployments. Please contact our sales team for current stock and pricing.
