⚙️ Features & Design Notes
-
Designed for 24×7 operation (enterprise class, data center / nearline storage) rather than for desktop / casual use.
-
Built for high vibration tolerance (useful in multi-drive enclosures or RAID arrays) with rotational vibration design.
-
Includes features like Power Choice™ (to allow lower power modes), RAID Rebuild support, “Super Parity”, etc.
✅ Pros & Considerations
Pros:
-
Very reliable for enterprise / server usage.
-
Decent performance: 7200 RPM, 128 MB cache, good sustained throughput.
-
Long warranty and high MTBF.
-
Works well for bulk storage, backups, surveillance, scale-out storage, etc.
Considerations:
-
Power consumption higher than desktop drives.
-
No SSD-like random access; if workloads are very random & latency-sensitive, SSDs or hybrid setups will outperform.
-
The 512n sector size might matter in some newer systems expecting 4K native sectors, though this model is native 512.
