Total Micro 900 GB Hard Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (6Gb/s SAS)

Engineered for enterprise storage, the Total Micro 900 GB Hard Drive delivers dependable performance for servers and high-demand applications. This 2.5" internal SAS (6Gb/s SAS) drive combines ample capacity with a fast spindle speed to optimize data access, reliability, and uptime in data centers and rack environments. With a hot-pluggable design and broad server device compatibility, it’s a practical, scalable storage solution for today’s demanding workloads.

• High-capacity, reliable storage: 900 GB of usable storage supports operating systems, databases, virtualization assets, and heavy I/O workloads. Whether used as a boot drive, a datastore for virtual machines, or a fast-access tier in a storage array, this drive plus a robust controller delivers dependable performance and predictable capacity growth for expanding environments.
• 2.5" internal form factor: The compact 2.5" design accelerates deployment in dense server bays, 1U and 2U chassis, or hot-swap backplanes. Its smaller footprint reduces cable clutter and power consumption while maintaining enterprise-level performance, making it ideal for modern data centers and rapid-provision environments.
• SAS (6Gb/s) interface for enterprise throughput: The 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI interface provides stable, scalable data transfer with strong error handling and reliability. Designed for server-class workloads, SAS enables reliable multi-user access and smoother operation under heavy I/O as part of RAID arrays or direct-attached storage configurations.
• 10,000 RPM spindle speed for responsive performance: The high-speed spindle delivers quicker read and write access, improving IOPS for transactional databases, virtualization hosts, and application data that demand fast data retrieval. This performance characteristic helps reduce latency under busy workloads and supports snappy system responsiveness.
• Hot-pluggable for minimal downtime: Built to be slide-in and replaceable in hot-swap capable servers, this drive supports maintenance without powering down the system. Its hot-plug design helps maintain uptime, simplifies drive replacement, and aligns with enterprise maintenance practices in RAID and storage arrays.

How to install Total Micro 900 GB SAS Drive

• Power down the server if the environment does not support hot-swapping. If your chassis and backplane support hot-swapping, proceed with the hot-plug procedure as documented by your hardware vendor.
• Identify a suitable, compatible 2.5" SAS drive bay in the server or storage enclosure. Ensure the bay is empty and the backplane is powered and ready for a new drive.
• Remove the drive tray or bezel from the bay if required, then align the Total Micro 900 GB SAS drive with the connector guides on the tray.
• Insert the drive into the bay until it seats firmly and the locking mechanism engages. For hot-swap bays, the backplane will latch the drive automatically.
• Reconnect any required SAS data and power connections if you performed a manual installation outside a fully integrated backplane. In hot-swap configurations, the system will recognize the drive automatically once the tray is secured.
• Power on the server (if applicable) and enter the operating system or RAID controller utility. Initialize or format the new drive as required by your storage policy, and add it to the appropriate logical drive or array as needed.
