Key features
2.5" to 3.5" Hybrid Carrier: Arrives pre-mounted inside a specialized adapter frame, enabling a high-speed 2.5-inch drive to fit natively into standard 3.5-inch hot-swap server bays.
10,000 RPM Enterprise Speed: Delivers accelerated IOPS and lower access latency compared to standard nearline 7.2K drives, optimized for database and transactional applications.
12Gb/s SAS Interface: Provides robust dual-port enterprise bandwidth, ensuring high-speed throughput, failover path redundancy, and data path integrity.
Instant Secure Erase (ISE): Features hardware-based instant cryptographic erasure to quickly wipe sensitive data and simplify decommission or repurposing protocols.
512e Advanced Format: Utilizes an optimized 512-emulated sector alignment to maximize physical data storage capacity while sustaining seamless modern OS compatibility.
Hot-Plug Capability: Ships complete with an enterprise-ready hot-swap tray for fast, online drive replacements without shutting down server workloads.
