FAQs

Q: Will this work in my LFF hot-plug server bays?
A: Yes, if your server requires LP carriers and supports 3.5-inch SAS drives. Verify backplane and controller compatibility.

Q: What advantages does SAS offer over SATA?
A: SAS provides dual-port connectivity, full-duplex links, and generally better queue depth handling for enterprise workloads.

Q: Is special alignment needed for 512e?
A: Most modern RAID controllers handle alignment automatically. For legacy systems, ensure partitions are 4K-aligned.

Q: Can I secure-erase the drive before redeployment?
A: Yes, use Instant Secure Erase (ISE) via supported controller or management tools to rapidly sanitize data.

Q: Can I mix capacities within the same RAID set?
A: This is not recommended; arrays typically operate at the smallest drive’s capacity and mixed sizes can affect performance and rebuild times.
