About this product
This product is a lot of twelve Dell EMC WD-Hitachi H5H72101CLAR10T0 10TB SAS 12Gb/s Self-Encrypting Drives. Each 3.5-inch HDD operates at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache and supports hot-swapping. Classified as Grade B, these Ultrastar drives have recorded power-on hours (POH) between 40,000 and 60,000 hours. They come with a 3-month manufacturer warranty and are designed for enterprise storage applications.
Our take
Purchasing a lot of twelve 10TB SAS drives offers a significant capacity boost for large-scale storage needs. The 7200 RPM speed and 12Gb/s SAS interface are standard for enterprise performance. While the self-encrypting feature is a strong security advantage, the 'Grade B' rating and the POH range of 40-60k hours suggest these drives have seen substantial use. This is a common trade-off for bulk used enterprise hardware. The 3-month warranty is somewhat brief for a component of this type, so extensive pre-deployment testing would be crucial to ensure reliability. It's a pragmatic choice for those needing ample storage on a budget, provided you're comfortable with used hardware.
