About this product
The IBM ST2000NM0023 is a 2TB internal hard disk drive operating at 7,200 RPM with a 12Gb SAS NL interface. Designed for PC compatibility, this 3.5-inch drive features a substantial 128 MB cache and a read speed of 500MB/s, making it suitable for data-intensive applications. Part of the Constellation product line, it targets environments requiring high capacity and robust performance from an internal HDD.
Our take
This IBM 2TB SAS drive, the ST2000NM0023, is a robust option for those needing significant storage and enterprise-level performance. The 7,200 RPM speed combined with a large 128 MB cache and a fast 12Gb SAS interface means it's well-equipped for demanding workloads, offering a 500MB/s read speed. While its SAS interface offers superior performance and reliability compared to SATA, it also means your system needs a compatible SAS controller, which isn't standard in most consumer PCs. Its 2TB capacity offers a good balance for many server or workstation needs.
