• Form factor: 3.5 inches
• Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
• Interface: Serial ATA III
• Data transfer rate: 6 Gbit/s

How to use

To install the drive, ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Mount the drive into an available 3.5-inch drive bay within your server or workstation chassis. Connect the Serial ATA III data cable to the drive and the motherboard or controller card, and attach the appropriate power cable from your power supply unit. Once installed, secure the drive with screws, reconnect the power, and initialize the disk through your operating system's disk management utility to format it for use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your server or workstation chassis has an available 3.5-inch drive bay.
• Ensure your motherboard or RAID controller supports the Serial ATA III interface.
• Confirm that your power supply unit has the necessary SATA power connectors.
• Check if your system's operating system supports the 4 TB capacity volume.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the drive is installed in a well-ventilated area of the chassis to maintain appropriate operating temperatures. Regularly monitor the drive's health status using SMART diagnostic tools to proactively identify potential hardware issues.
