IBM 59E1 00E9972 ESFB 300GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Disk Drive AIX Linux 00E9966
The IBM ESFB 300GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Disk Drive for IBM Power AIX Linux systems has 59E1 and 00E9972 part number, and 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) Gen-3 carrier/tray for installation in SFF-3 SAS bays. The IIBM ESFB 300GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Disk Drive is formatted 4096 byte sectors for AIX and Linux, but can be reformatted to 4224 byte sectors for IBM i iSeries systems, providing 283 GB capacity. The IBM ESFA 283GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4K Disk Drive with 00E9966 part number is identical to the IBM ESFB disk drive and has the same 59E1 CCIN.
The IBM ESFB 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.
