Questions about this item

How much power does the 7200 RPM SAS drive draw during continuous 24×7 operation?

The Constellation ES is built for the lowest power consumption of any nearline 3.5-inch drive and includes PowerChoice technology for on-demand savings during idle periods.

What host interface must my system provide for this SAS 6Gb/s drive to work?

A 6Gb/s SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller with a compatible SAS port is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector.

Will the 3.5-inch form factor and SAS interface let me add this drive to an older server that uses 3.5-inch SAS bays?

Yes, the drive fits a standard 3.5-inch SAS bay and its 6Gb/s SAS interface is backward-compatible with 3Gb/s SAS controllers.
