Whether you’re expanding an existing infrastructure, consolidating workloads, or provisioning new storage capacity for a growing business, the Accortec 3 TB SAS drive provides a straightforward path to scalable storage. Its SAS interface (12Gb/s) ensures fast, stable data transfer between the drive and the host bus adapter or controller, reducing bottlenecks in IO-intensive environments. As an internal drive, it is designed to sit inside a server chassis or storage enclosure, offering a compact, reliable solution that aligns with enterprise-grade requirements for data integrity, long-term endurance, and predictable performance. This makes it an excellent choice for data centers, enterprise NAS/SAN deployments, and virtualization clusters where reliability and capacity are paramount.

• Massive capacity for growing workloads. With 3 TB of storage, you can consolidate archiving, backups, databases, and virtual machines more efficiently. The large capacity helps reduce the need for frequent drive replacements or additional units, which simplifies management and lowers total cost of ownership while ensuring you have headroom for growth.
• High-speed SAS 12Gb/s interface. The drive uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface to deliver fast, reliable data transfer between the drive and your SAS controller or backplane. This enables smoother streaming of large datasets, quicker database queries, and improved performance in I/O-heavy environments common in enterprise workloads.
• Enterprise-grade reliability for continuous operation. Engineered for demanding server environments, this Accortec internal hard drive prioritizes reliability and consistent performance under load. Its design supports continuous operation in enterprise data centers, helping maintain data availability for mission-critical applications and services.
• Seamless integration with SAS backplanes and controllers. This drive is built to plug into standard SAS backplanes and RAID controllers. It integrates easily with existing hardware, enabling straightforward deployment in servers, storage arrays, and virtualization hosts without extensive reconfiguration.
• Versatile deployment for databases, virtualization, and backups. The 3 TB capacity paired with SAS connectivity makes it well-suited for a wide range of workloads, including database storage, VM provisioning, backups, and content repositories, providing a balanced mix of capacity, compatibility, and performance in enterprise environments.

How to install Accortec 3 TB Hard Drive

• Power down the server or storage enclosure and unplug the power cord to ensure safe handling of components.
• Open the chassis or drive enclosure and locate an available internal drive bay or drive tray compatible with SAS drives.
• Remove any filler panels or existing drive tray, if necessary, to prepare the bay for the new Accortec drive.
• Insert the Accortec 3 TB drive into the drive tray and secure it with the mounting screws or latches provided by the chassis.
• Connect the SAS data cable from the drive backplane or SAS controller to the drive’s interface connector, ensuring a snug and secure connection.
• Slide the drive tray back into the chassis, reseat the tray, and secure any latches or screws to hold the drive in place.
• Reattach power and boot the system. Enter the server’s BIOS/RAID controller utility to detect the new drive.
• Initialize the drive within the RAID controller or disk management utility as needed, and create or extend a logical volume or array according to your storage configuration.
• In the operating system, format the new storage as desired (NTFS, ext4, ZFS, etc.) and start using the space for your workloads.
