Key specifications

• Capacity: 4TB
• Form Factor: 3.5-inch
• Interface: SAS
• Rotational Speed: 7200 RPM

To use this drive, ensure your server chassis supports 3.5-inch LFF (Large Form Factor) drives and that your system is equipped with a compatible SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller. The drive should be installed into an available drive bay, ensuring the connection is secure. Once installed, the drive must be initialized and formatted through your server's operating system or RAID management software to be recognized as a storage volume.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing server hardware and SAS controller.
• Ensure your server chassis has an available 3.5-inch LFF drive bay.
• Confirm that your power supply and cooling systems can support the requirements of enterprise-grade hardware.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and data integrity, it is recommended to use this drive within a RAID configuration to provide redundancy. Regularly monitor the drive status through your server management software to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
