Questions about this item
Will the 12Gbps SAS interface negotiate down to work with my existing 6Gbps backplane?
Yes, the SAS 12Gbps interface is backwards compatible and will automatically negotiate to 6Gbps when connected to an older backplane or controller.
How can I confirm the 7.2K RPM drive is spinning and healthy after hot-plug installation?
The drive will appear in your RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility with its full 6TB capacity and show a ready status; SMART data will report zero reallocated sectors on a new unit.
