Ultrastar 7K6000 2 TB SAS drive

The HGST Ultrastar 7K6000 HUS726020ALS211 is a 2 TB enterprise hard drive built for 3.5-inch bays and 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity. It targets data-centre and cloud storage arrays that need high-capacity, power-efficient spinning media. The drive uses HGST media cache architecture to boost write throughput and protect data during unexpected power loss. New condition, supplied in manufacturer packaging.

Suits capacity-optimised enterprise arrays

This drive fits servers and storage enclosures that accept 3.5-inch SAS devices and can use the 12 Gb/s link speed. It is not for platforms that only support slower SAS signalling or that lack the backplane bandwidth to sustain enterprise workloads. Laptop builders and small-form-factor systems should look elsewhere because the 3.5-inch form factor will not fit.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface; the host controller and backplane must negotiate this speed for the drive to operate as intended. Verify that your chassis and HBA support 12 Gb/s SAS before ordering.
