  • Hot-swap design enables drive replacement without system downtime

Capacity and interface

This 1.2 TB SAS drive spins at 10000 RPM and carries 64 MB of cache. It fits 2.5 inch bays and is built for servers or workstations that need quick access to moderate data sets.

Hot-swap tray and connector

The drive ships in a hot-swap removable carrier so it can be inserted or removed without powering down the chassis. A single SAS connector handles both data and power, simplifying cabling in dense enclosures.

Packing and part identification

Retail or OEM packaging may vary, but the unit matches part numbers X425A, X425A-R6 and SP-X425A-R6. Buyers who need a different capacity or a non-hot-swap form factor should look elsewhere.
