This is a 3.5-inch SAS hard drive with 4TB capacity and a 7,200 RPM spindle speed, designed for server and rack deployments.
This is an enterprise SAS drive. SAS controllers and backplanes are required for full functionality; a SAS controller can talk to SATA drives but a SATA controller cannot talk to SAS drives.
Yes, it uses the standard 3.5-inch form factor used in most server drive bays and trays. It will fit any chassis or hot-swap carrier that supports 3.5" SAS drives, but always verify physical bay type and backplane compatibility with your server vendor.
Yes. This drive is suitable for RAID use with hardware RAID controllers that support SAS. For best results, use drives of the same model and firmware on an array and check your RAID controller vendor's compatibility list.
The drive itself is hot-swap capable when installed in a server or enclosure that supports hot-swapping (hot-swap bay and compatible backplane). Hot-swap behavior depends on your chassis and controller.
Yes. It is an enterprise-class SAS drive designed for continuous, 24/7 operation in server and data center environments.
Yes. Enterprise SAS drives typically support SMART and other health-monitoring features. Use your server management tools or RAID controller utilities to access drive health and SMART attributes.
It can work in a NAS only if the NAS supports SAS drives. Many small/home NAS devices support only SATA, so verify your NAS model's compatibility before purchasing.
As a 3.5" 7,200 RPM enterprise drive, it will consume more power and generate more heat than 2.5" or lower-speed drives. Exact power and thermal specs vary by manufacturer—refer to the manufacturer's datasheet for precise numbers.
The drive uses standard SAS connectors and should connect via your server's SAS backplane or SAS cables. No special adapters are typically required if your chassis/controller supports 3.5" SAS drives.
Enterprise 3.5" drives at 7,200 RPM are audible under operation and may produce more noise than desktop or NAS-optimized quiet drives. Noise varies by model—consult the manufacturer's specifications if noise levels are critical.
SAS enterprise drives are designed with higher vibration tolerance suitable for multi-drive rack servers. Exact vibration and shock ratings depend on the specific model; check the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed figures.
Yes, enterprise SAS drives typically ship with firmware tuned for data center workloads, improved error recovery, and compatibility with RAID systems. For details on firmware features, see the manufacturer's documentation.
Warranty and support depend on the seller or drive manufacturer. Enterprise drives commonly include a limited warranty and optional support services—check the product listing or contact the vendor for exact warranty terms.
Power down the server if your chassis doesn't support hot-swap, or use a hot-swap bay if supported. Insert the drive into a compatible 3.5" SAS bay or mounting bracket, secure it per your chassis instructions, connect to a compatible SAS backplane or controller, and verify detection in your server management interface.
