Product overview
This is the IBM 3TB 7200RPM SAS 6Gb/s 3.5-Inch hard Drive, order code 81Y9886. 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
81Y9886 is what is quoted and 81Y9886 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
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.
Spares held to a fleet standard
Tell us the chassis you run and we will keep the spare consistent with what is already in the shelf.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 81Y9886 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in IBM packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will 81Y9886 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. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

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