Accortec 3 TB SAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive – High-Capacity Enterprise Storage for Data-Heavy Workloads

The Accortec 3 TB Hard Drive is a premium storage solution engineered for demanding data environments. With a generous 3 TB capacity, it is designed to handle large-scale backups, media libraries, virtualization images, and other data-intensive workloads with dependable, stable performance. Built as a 3.5" internal drive that uses a SAS (6 Gb/s SAS) interface, this drive delivers the reliability and throughput required by servers, storage arrays, and data centers where uptime and data integrity matter most. Whether you are expanding an existing RAID array, upgrading a server fleet, or building a high-capacity storage pool, the Accortec 3 TB SAS drive is a solid choice for performance-conscious IT professionals and system builders alike.

• Large 3 TB capacity: A single drive can accommodate vast libraries of documents, high-resolution images, long-form video, and multiple virtual machine images. The generous capacity reduces the need for frequent expansion and minimizes management overhead in busy storage ecosystems.
• 3.5" internal form factor: Standard in enterprise servers and storage chassis, this drive fits most backplanes and drive bays with straightforward installation. The 3.5" footprint aligns with common data-center hardware, enabling seamless upgrades and scalable storage expansion.
• SAS 6Gb/s interface for reliable throughput: The Serial Attached SCSI interface provides steady, enterprise-grade data transfer performance suitable for data-heavy workloads. SAS delivers predictable latency and robust error handling, making it a preferred choice for mission-critical storage configurations.
• Enterprise-grade reliability for 24/7 environments: Built to withstand demanding operation in data centers, virtualization hosts, and long-running server applications. The drive emphasizes data integrity, endurance, and consistent performance under load, helping minimize downtime and maintenance needs.
• Versatile deployment across many platforms: Ideal for direct-attached storage, RAID-based arrays, and back-end storage in servers. It pairs well with Windows, Linux, and virtualized environments, delivering dependable capacity and compatibility for a wide range of enterprise workflows.

How to install Accortec 3 TB SAS Drive

• Prepare your system: Power down the host server or storage appliance and unplug from power. Confirm you have an available 3.5" drive bay or caddy and a compatible SAS controller or backplane.
• Open the chassis and mount the drive: Remove the drive bay cover or caddy tray as required. Slide the Accortec drive into the bay and secure it with screws or latching mechanisms according to your chassis design.
• Connect the SAS data cable: Attach the SAS data cable from the drive to the corresponding port on the storage controller, backplane, or RAID controller. Ensure a firm, secure connection to minimize data integrity issues.
• Connect power: Attach the power connector to the drive. Some enclosures use power and data in one connector; others may require separate cables. Verify all connections are snug before powering on the system.
• Power on and verify: Boot the system and enter the RAID/controller BIOS or storage management interface. Confirm the drive is detected and assigned a healthy status. If necessary, initialize the drive or add it to an existing array.
• Format and configure in OS or storage software: Within your operating system or storage management utility, initialize and format the drive as appropriate for your deployment—RAID-protected volumes, single-disk storage pools, or virtualized storage layers.
• Test and monitor health: After setup, run a short integrity test and monitor SMART or vendor-specific health metrics through your management console to ensure ongoing reliability and identify any early warning signs.
