Capacity and Interface

This 4 TB enterprise hard drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface with 512e formatting and conventional magnetic recording technology. It is built for 24×7 bulk-data workloads such as replicated storage servers, RAID arrays and high-capacity nearline archives.

Host Compatibility

Verify that your server or storage enclosure provides a SAS 12 Gb/s backplane or controller with 512e sector support. The drive requires a standard 3.5-inch drive bay and draws power from the system backplane rather than a separate connector.

Thermals and Power

The drive is engineered for continuous operation in dense multi-drive chassis with a rated workload of 550 TB per year. Dual processors, ramp-load technology and a humidity sensor maintain stable performance and reliability under sustained enterprise loads.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the ST4000NM0125, and do I need to buy cables or a mounting bracket separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5" unit only. A SAS data cable, a compatible power connector and any mounting hardware for your chassis must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 512e SAS version or look for a 512n or 4Kn model for my RAID array?

The 512e format emulates 512-byte sectors on 4K physical sectors, giving broad compatibility with most RAID controllers and operating systems while keeping the 4TB capacity.

How does the 12Gb/s SAS interface and 7200 RPM speed translate to real-world throughput in a 24×7 server?

The 12Gb/s SAS link and 128MB cache support sustained sequential transfers that match the 7200 RPM mechanical limit, while the 550TB/yr workload rating and 4.16ms latency are engineered for continuous multi-drive operation.
