✅ Why This Drive Rocks
Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited, secure-erased to NIST 800-88 standards, and verified for 100% health. These units are tested specifically for compatibility with EMC storage processors.
Genuine EMC Firmware: This drive carries the specific EMC-authorized firmware required for the CLARiiON storage operating system to recognize the drive and include it in RAID groups.
3D Defense System: Seagate's exclusive protection system that includes Drive Defense, Data Defense, and Diagnostic Defense to ensure the highest levels of data integrity in a SAN.
Low Latency Performance: The 10K RPM spindle speed ensures rapid data access times, which is essential for the transactional databases and high-load applications these arrays typically serve.
SCA-2 Hot-Swap Interface: Designed for seamless insertion and removal from CLARiiON disk processor enclosures (DPE) and disk array enclosures (DAE) without powering down the system.
📦 Compatibility & Use Case
Target Systems: Specifically designed for EMC CLARiiON CX200, CX400, CX600, and CX3-series (with appropriate interposers) storage arrays.
Legacy Support: A must-have for data centers maintaining legacy storage infrastructure that requires exact part number matches for replacement drives.
Fiber Channel Infrastructure: Requires an FC-capable backplane and storage processor; this is not compatible with standard SATA or SAS controllers.
