600GB Enterprise Storage

The X422A-R5 provides 600GB of nominal storage capacity in a compact 2.5-inch enterprise form factor.

NetApp documentation lists a physical capacity of approximately 560,208 MiB for the 600GB X422A-R5 configuration. Usable capacity presented by the storage system can differ because of formatting, RAID protection, filesystem overhead and NetApp storage architecture. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

10,000 RPM Performance

The X422A-R5 operates at 10,000 RPM, providing faster mechanical response characteristics than typical 7,200 RPM capacity HDDs.

The 10K spindle speed makes the drive suitable for enterprise workloads where random-access performance is more important than maximum capacity per drive.

SAS-2 6Gbps Interface

The X422A-R5 uses a SAS-2 6Gbps interface. Enterprise hardware listings identify the electrical interface as SAS-2 6Gbps. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

SAS provides enterprise storage connectivity and is designed for use with compatible SAS controllers, disk shelves and storage backplanes. The 6Gbps figure represents the theoretical interface link rate; actual HDD performance depends on the physical drive, workload, controller and storage configuration.

2.5-Inch SFF Form Factor

The X422A-R5 is a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor enterprise hard drive. This compact form factor allows multiple drives to be installed in supported storage shelves while maintaining a relatively high spindle-performance density.

The X422A-R5 should be installed only in a compatible NetApp storage enclosure or SAS storage system designed to support the drive's form factor and interface.

NetApp DS2246 Compatibility

NetApp's supported-drive documentation lists X422A-R5 as a 600GB 10K SAS drive for the DS2246 with IOM6 shelf modules. The documentation identifies a 96-drive shelf configuration and lists X422A-R5 among the supported SAS drives. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

This makes the X422A-R5 particularly relevant for replacement or expansion requirements involving compatible NetApp DS2246 storage shelves.

NetApp 108-00221 Tray / Kit

Enterprise listings commonly identify the X422A-R5 with NetApp kit or tray number 108-00221. A documented configuration includes the 600GB 10K SAS hard drive together with a NetApp caddy/tray. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

The exact carrier and package contents should be confirmed before ordering, particularly when the drive is being installed into a specific NetApp shelf.

Enterprise SAS Storage

The X422A-R5 is an enterprise SAS HDD rather than a standard desktop SATA drive. SAS connectivity provides compatibility with enterprise storage controllers and NetApp storage architectures designed around SAS disk shelves.

Its 10K spindle speed makes it appropriate for applications where storage responsiveness is more important than the maximum capacity offered by modern 7,200 RPM nearline drives.

RAID and Storage Protection

The X422A-R5 can participate in supported NetApp storage configurations where the drive is qualified for the target system.

NetApp storage systems manage disk redundancy and data protection according to the platform's storage architecture. Always follow the specific NetApp platform's requirements when replacing a failed disk or adding capacity.

Performance-Oriented Enterprise Storage

The 10,000 RPM spindle speed makes the X422A-R5 a performance-oriented HDD compared with 7,200 RPM capacity drives.

It is suitable for workloads involving frequent disk access, enterprise applications and storage systems that require faster mechanical response from HDD media.

NetApp X422A-R5 vs 600GB 15K SAS HDD

Compatibility Considerations

The X422A-R5 is a SAS drive and requires a compatible SAS storage controller, backplane or NetApp disk shelf.

• Compatible NetApp storage shelf
• Compatible SAS backplane
• Compatible NetApp firmware/storage configuration
• 2.5-inch SFF drive bay
• Supported 10K SAS drive configuration
• Appropriate NetApp carrier/tray

Do not substitute a SATA drive for X422A-R5 in a NetApp shelf simply because the capacity is similar. The storage platform must support the drive's interface, firmware and qualified-drive requirements.
