Product Description
The IBM ESD8 disk drive provides data storage with 1.1 TB capacity. Operating at 10,000 RPM, it supports applications requiring balanced throughput. Formatted for IBM i environments with 528-byte sectors. Performs reliably in SAS-connected systems.
Utilizes a 6 Gbps SAS interface with dual ports for connectivity. Sector structure optimizes for IBM i data handling protocols.
Achieves rotational speeds enabling efficient read/write operations compared to lower RPM units. Enhances I/O in array configurations. SFF-3 form factor fits high-density bay arrangements.
Compatible with Power RAID setups for parity protection. Shows extended operational lifespan appropriate for enterprise deployments.
Mounts in compliant SFF-3 bays using standard SAS connections. Sustains data rates with moderate power draw, aiding thermal control. Integrates into storage subsystems.

Key Features
- 10K RPM for data access optimization.
- Dual SAS ports for link redundancy.
- 528-byte formatting aligned with IBM i.
- SFF-3 carrier for Gen-3 bay compatibility.
- Support for RAID array integration.
- Reformattable to 512-byte for 1.2TB (non-IBM i).
- Balanced power usage in operations.
These properties function in structured storage setups. RPM supports I/O demands, ports ensure availability. Formatting matches OS needs. Carrier enables placement, RAID provides protection. Option for sector change, though limited. Consumption aids efficiency.
