FAQs

Q: Why choose SAS over SATA for nearline drives?
A: SAS provides dual-port connectivity for high availability, better queue depth, and typically enhanced error handling—ideal for enterprise arrays.

Q: Is this drive compatible with 512e environments?
A: Yes. Ensure your OS and controller support 512e sector emulation.

Q: Does the package include a hot-plug carrier?
A: Yes, an LFF low-profile carrier is included for tool-less serviceability.

Q: Can I mix this with 8TB SATA drives in the same array?
A: Mixing SAS and SATA in one array is generally not recommended; use uniform interfaces per array.

Q: What workloads is this best for?
A: Capacity-oriented tasks such as backup, archival, object storage, and general file services.
