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.

Questions about this item
Do I need a SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter or controller to install this drive?
Yes, the drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and requires a compatible HBA or RAID controller with SAS ports and appropriate cables.
Can the Ultrastar 7K6000 HUS726020ALS211 share a backplane with older 6Gb/s SAS drives?
The drive supports 12Gb/s SAS and will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on a compatible backplane, allowing mixed deployments.
How can I verify the HUS726020ALS211 is running at full 12Gb/s link speed after setup?
Check the negotiated link rate in your HBA BIOS, RAID controller utility, or operating system disk tools; it should report 12Gb/s.
