Enterprise Fibre Channel Drive

The Seagate ST3450856FC-FR is a 3.5" internal hard drive built for Fibre Channel storage arrays. It delivers 450GB capacity at 15000 RPM with a 16MB cache and a 4Gb/s interface. The unit is supplied in refurbished condition.

Suits legacy SAN maintenance

This drive suits administrators maintaining existing 4Gb/s Fibre Channel infrastructures that require a direct replacement. It is not for buyers who need higher throughput, larger capacities or modern interfaces because this drive is limited to the 4Gb/s Fibre Channel protocol and 450GB capacity.

4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface. Only systems with a matching Fibre Channel host bus adapter or controller can use this drive. Verify the interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" form factor fit a standard internal drive bay?

Yes, the 3.5" form factor matches standard desktop internal drive bays and uses the same mounting screw pattern.

How do I connect the Fibre Channel 4Gb/s interface, and what step is often missed?

Plug the drive into a compatible Fibre Channel HBA or switch port with the correct cable, then configure the target LUN and zone the port on the switch; the zoning step is frequently overlooked.

What maintenance will the 15000 RPM spindle and 16MB cache require over time?

Enterprise drives at 15000 RPM benefit from SMART monitoring and firmware updates; plan replacement when reallocated sectors or seek errors appear in SMART data.
