Built for continuous server workloads

This drive supports 24/7 operation, making it suited to systems that remain active around the clock. Its workload rate limit is 550TB per year, giving you a clear reference when assessing expected data activity.

The 7,200RPM spindle speed and sustained transfer rate of 281 MiB/s support regular data access and transfers. Actual performance also depends on the wider system and workload.

More room for large data sets

With 18TB of capacity, the drive can accommodate substantial files and server data. Its 3.5-inch form factor suits systems designed for that drive size, while SAS connectivity is intended for compatible SAS hosts.

The rated mean time between failures is 2.5 million hours. This is a reliability measure for comparing drives, not a guarantee of service life.

Check your server fit

  • Confirm your system has a compatible SAS connection.
  • Check that your drive bay accepts a 3.5-inch drive.
  • Confirm your controller and system support an 18TB drive.
  • Check the available space against the drive’s dimensions: 147mm deep, 101.8mm wide and 26.1mm high.
