3 MONTH WRTY Expert Features ~ USED ITEM Enterprise-Grade 6TB Capacity : Packs 6TB of CMR storage into a standard 3.5-inch form factor for servers, RAID arrays, backup systems, surveillance storage, and bulk-data applications. SATA 6Gb/s Compatibility : Uses a single-port SATA interface supporting 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s, and 1.5Gb/s link speeds for integration with compatible server, workstation, NAS, HBA, and RAID-controller environments. 512e Sector Format : Uses 512e formatting for broad compatibility with modern operating systems and storage controllers that support high-capacity 512e drives. 7200RPM Enterprise Performance : The 7200RPM spindle speed and 4.16ms average latency provide dependable access to large datasets and sustained enterprise workloads. Up to 226MB/s Sustained Transfer : Delivers up to 226MB/s maximum sustained transfer performance for backup, archive, analytics, and sequential bulk-data operations. Large 256MB Cache : A 256MB cache helps maintain responsive data handling during continuous server and storage activity. Advanced Write Caching : Internal NOR-flash-assisted write caching improves nearline workload efficiency and helps protect write operations during demanding use. Built for 24/7 Operation : Rated for continuous 8,760-hour annual operation with an enterprise workload limit of up to 550TB per year. Two-Million-Hour MTBF : Engineered for enterprise reliability with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating and a 0.44% annualized failure rate. Rotational-Vibration Protection : Designed to maintain consistent performance inside dense multi-drive chassis where vibration from neighbouring drives can affect ordinary desktop HDDs. Integrated Humidity Sensor : Monitors environmental conditions to support stable operation across compatible enterprise storage chassis. PowerChoice Technology : Provides power-management capabilities for reducing consumption during supported idle states. PowerBalance Technology : Allows compatible systems to balance power use and performance for random read-and-write workloads. RAID and Scale-Out Ready : Suitable for replicated storage, high-capacity RAID, cloud infrastructure, distributed file systems, enterprise backup, and centralized surveillance. Compatibility Check Required : The host system must support a 3.5-inch SATA drive, 6TB capacity, and the 512e sector format; controller and RAID compatibility should be verified before installation.
