Enterprise Storage/ Server/Appliance

Enterprise storage systems, enterprise-class servers, and industrial-grade (data processing) appliances are all systems with very specific demands on their storage. Speed and reliability are usually paramount, but also interface, form factor, and sometimes even power profile can come into play. Mainstream and Performance Enterprise class drives are usually required for these systems.

High-Availability Server Drives

Unique enterprise storage/server/appliance challenges for drives:

  • Use of RAID technology
  • 24/7 operation
  • Multiple drives in one chassis
  • High I/O (input/output)

Enabling features of Mainstream Enterprise drives:

  • 24/7 rated drive platform
  • Custom, adaptive tuning
  • Custom, factory screening
  • Enhanced recording platform
  • RV feedforward sensors
  • Fixed shaft motor

Enabling features of Performance Enterprise drives:
