Features

RAID-specific time limited error recovery - Improves error handling coordination with RAID adapters and prevents drive fallout caused by extended drive error-recovery processes. 

Reliability in high duty cycle environments - Utilizing enterprise-class manufacturing processes, these drives are designed with enhanced reliability in a 24x7, high duty cycle environment. 

Built to last - Made for years of high-performance operation around the clock. Reliability demonstration testing indicates a mean time between failure (MTBF) of one million hours. 

Fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor - Improves hard drive reliability; reduces heat, vibration, and noise. 

Improved power controller - Consumes less power and generates low heat. 

FlexPower — connector technology that accepts power from either industry-standard or new SATA power supplies.

Hot plug support — allows swapping of hard drives without having to power down the system or reboot; promotes system design flexibility, data availability, and serviceability.

Backplane compatibility — uses the SATA industry standard connector which includes alignment ears and 3-stage electrical mating sequence designed specifically for backplanes and hot pluggability.
