Accortec 1.20 TB 2.5" Internal SAS Hard Drive — 12Gb/s SAS

Introducing the Accortec 1.20 TB Hard Drive, a purpose-built storage solution designed for demanding servers, storage arrays, and professional workstations. This 2.5-inch internal drive brings a compelling blend of generous capacity, robust SAS performance, and enterprise-grade reliability to help businesses scale their data acceleration efforts. Whether you’re running virtualized environments, large-scale backups, or data-intensive applications, this drive is engineered to deliver consistent throughput, strong endurance, and smooth operation in high-availability setups.

• High-capacity 1.20 TB in a 2.5" footprint. Maximize storage density in rack-mounted servers and storage enclosures while keeping drive bays flexible for future expansion. The compact form factor reduces cabling complexity and helps you optimize cooling and power budgets in dense data center deployments. With 1.20 terabytes of storage capacity, you can store more virtual machines, databases, or media libraries without frequent upgrades.
• 2.5-inch internal drive designed for enterprise workloads. The 2.5" format is favored in mission-critical environments for its balanced performance, heat management, and ease of integration into hot-swap caddies and storage arrays. This design supports streamlined maintenance and faster provisioning in busy IT shops, making it ideal for consistent, round-the-clock operations.
• SAS 12Gb/s interface for fast, reliable data transfer. The Dual-Port SAS connection (where applicable) supports high I/O throughput and redundancy, enabling sustained performance in RAID-configured systems and data-center storage pools. This interface combines strong bandwidth with robust error detection and correction to keep data moving smoothly under load.
• Engineered for enterprise reliability and long life. Built to handle continuous operation, this drive is optimized for multi-drive environments, with features that help maintain data integrity during heavy workloads. It’s designed to deliver steady performance in virtualization, databases, backup solutions, and other intensive tasks, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall system responsiveness.
• Energy-conscious design for dense deployments. The drive is designed to balance performance with power efficiency and thermal management, supporting cooler operation and lower energy costs in data centers and high-density workstations. A quieter, cooler profile helps improve reliability and extends component life in sustained-use scenarios.

How to Install Accortec 1.20 TB Hard Drive

Installing the Accortec 1.20 TB SAS drive is straightforward in compatible servers or storage enclosures. Follow these best-practice steps to ensure a safe and successful installation:

• Power down and unplug the system (or prepare for a hot-swap if your chassis supports it) before handling any components.
• Access the drive bays and, if needed, remove the existing tray or module to make room for the new drive.
• Insert the Accortec 1.20 TB drive into a compatible 2.5-inch drive tray or sled, aligning connectors carefully and securing the drive with screws or the chassis’ tool-less latch.
• Connect the SAS data and power cables to the drive. Ensure cables are firmly seated and routed to avoid obstruction or strain.
• Reinstall the drive tray into the bay, close the chassis, and power on the system. Depending on your environment, initialize the new drive in your operating system’s disk management utility or storage controller interface, then format and assign to a volume or RAID group as required.
• For hot-swap configurations, follow your enclosure’s vendor guidelines to perform the replacement without powering down, and verify in the OS or controller utility that the new drive is online and healthy.
