IBM ESFA 59E1 00E9966 283GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Disk Drive iSeries 00E9972 00E9963
The IBM ESFA 283GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Disk Drive for IBM i Power iSeries systems has 59E1 CCIN and 00E9966 part number, has 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) Gen-3 carrier/tray for installation in SFF-3 SAS bays. The IBM ESFA 59E1 00E9966 iSeries Disk Drive is formatted for 4224 byte sectors, but can be reformatted to 4096 byte sectors providing 300 GB capacity for Power Linux systems. The IBM ESFB 300GB 15k RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Block with 00E9972 part number is identical to the IBM ESFA disk drive and has the same 59E1 CCIN.
The IBM ESFA cannot be installed in a EXP24S SFF Gen2-bay Drawer due to physical difference of carrier/tray, and cannot be combined in the same array as a drive of the same capacity, but using different sector size.
