IBM System x3850 X5 Implementation Guide

92 IBM eX5 Implementation Guide
Table 3-22 lists the 2.5-inch SAS 10K and 15K RPM disk drives and the 2.5-inch SSD that are
supported in the x3850 X5. These drives are supported with the SAS hard disk backplane,
59Y6135.
Table 3-22 Supported 2.5-inch SAS drives and 2.5-inch SSDs
Table 3-23 lists the 2.5-inch Nearline SATA 7.2K drives that are supported in the x3850 X5.
These drives are supported with the SAS hard disk backplane, part number 59Y6135.
Table 3-23 Supported 2.5-inch Nearline SATA drives
The 2.5-inch drives require less space than 3.5-inch drives, consume half the power, produce
less noise, can seek faster, and offer increased reliability.

42D0752 5407 IBM 500GB 7200 NL SATA 2.5'' SFF Slim-HS HDD
Compatibility: As listed in Table 3-22, the 2.5-inch 50 GB SSD is also supported with the
standard SAS backplane and the optional SAS backplane, part number 59Y6135. It is
incompatible with the 1.8-inch SSD eXFlash backplane, part number 59Y6213.
A typical configuration can be two 2.5-inch SAS disks for the operating system and two
High IOPS disks for data. Only the 2.5-inch High IOPS SSD disk can be used on the SAS
backplane. The 1.8-inch disks for the eXFlash cannot be used on the SAS backplane.
