Product overview
Part number 00AR480 identifies this IBM 1.2TB 10000RPM SAS 2.5-Inch hard Drive. Replacing a failed drive means matching interface, form factor and firmware to the backplane it is going into. This is a SAS unit. Send us the server model and we will confirm the fit rather than leave you to check it.
Tell us the deadline you are working to and we will say whether it is achievable before you commit to it internally.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 00AR480, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Firmware family matched
A mechanically identical drive with the wrong firmware is rejected by the controller; we check the family, not just the capacity.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 00AR480 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the IBM warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will 00AR480 work in my server?
- Send the server model or the shelf it is going into. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason an identical-looking drive is rejected, so we check that alongside interface and form factor.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Bulk capacity usually sits behind the flash tier that feeds a training cluster rather than under it.
