IBM 74Y6485: 146GB 15K SAS 2.5-inch hard drive (SFF-1) for IBM AIX/Power servers.

The IBM 74Y6485 is a 146.8GB SAS hard disk drive, 6Gb/s interface, 15,000rpm, 2.5-inch SFF-1 form factor, with alternative IBM part numbers including 44V8185 and close sibling 74Y6487 attached to the same drive family. It fits a 2.5-inch SFF-1 drive bay on eligible IBM Power servers running AIX, providing high-speed mechanical storage for workloads that need more capacity per drive than solid-state options at a lower cost per gigabyte, while the 15K rotational speed keeps random I/O latency low relative to slower nearline SAS drives. Genuine, IBM-qualified drives of this kind matter because Power storage subsystems validate drive firmware against the platform, and a non-qualified drive can run in a degraded or unsupported mode. Specifiers should confirm their exact system model and existing storage configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supports ongoing server and storage maintenance projects. Get in touch with our sales team for availability and a price.
