Key Features & Benefits
  • Helium-Filled Technology (HelioSeal®): By replacing air with helium, this drive reduces internal turbulence and friction, allowing for a 12TB capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor while improving power efficiency (Watts per TB).
  • Massive Enterprise Capacity: Offers a substantial 12TB of storage, making it ideal for software-defined storage (SDS), large-scale video surveillance, and Big Data analytics.
  • High-Bandwidth 12Gb/s SAS: The professional-grade Serial Attached SCSI interface ensures robust data integrity and dual-port redundancy, supporting high-availability server configurations.
  • Advanced Format 512e: Utilizes 512-byte emulation to maintain compatibility with legacy applications and operating systems while providing the storage density of modern 4K physical sectors.
  • Superior Reliability: Boasts a 2.5 million hour MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure), engineered for rigorous 24/7/365 workloads in multi-drive enclosures where rotational vibration (RV) tolerance is critical.
