IBM ESDP 600GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-2 Disk Drive - 5xx Block

• 600GB 15K RPM SAS Disk Drive
• SFF-2 Carrier
• AIX/Linux

IBM ESDP is a 2.5-inch (Small Form Factor (SFF)) 15k RPM SAS disk drive mounted in a Gen-2 carrier and supported in SAS SFF-2 bays. With 512 byte sectors (JBOD) drive capacity is 600GB. With 528 byte sectors (RAID) drive capacity is 571GB and the drive has additional data integrity protection. #ESDN and #ESDP are physically identical drives with the same CCIN. However, IBM Manufacturing always formats the #ESDN with 528 byte sectors. Depending on how the drive is ordered, IBM Manufacturing will ship #ESDP with either 512 or 528 byte formatting. Reformatting a disk drive can take significant time, especially on larger capacity disk drives.  CCIN is 59CF.
