Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: Is this drive hot-plug?
A: Yes, it is supplied in an LFF Smart Carrier (SC) for hot-plug use in compatible backplanes.

Q: What is the difference between SC and LP carriers?
A: Smart Carrier (SC) includes front-panel LEDs and a full handle for quick serviceability; Low Profile (LP) has a simplified faceplate. Functionally, both present the same drive to the system when used in the correct bay type.

Q: Does 512e require any special configuration?
A: Most modern operating systems, hypervisors, and RAID controllers support 512e natively. Verify compatibility and firmware on your controller if using legacy environments.

Q: Is SAS dual-port and can it be used for multipath?
A: Yes. SAS provides two ports for redundant paths or failover on supported controllers and enclosures.

Q: What does Instant Secure Erase (ISE) do?
A: ISE enables rapid cryptographic or media-based sanitization to prepare the drive for reuse or decommissioning, reducing data erasure time.

Q: Can I mix SAS and SATA drives in the same backplane?
A: Many SAS backplanes can physically accept SATA, but mixing protocols within the same RAID array is not recommended. Match interface and characteristics within arrays.
