Just be aware everyone, these are SAS drives not SATA, so no use in standard consumer grade NAS devices or PC's without a SAS controller. In case anyone glossed over the description and didn't notice.

Those adapters only changes the interface used, not the protocol used to communicate between the controller and the Drive.
You will still need a SAS capable controller on the other end of that sata cable.

The price is really good. However, this HDD has a 5-year warranty but you'll have to RMA it through the seller (if they even honor it) instead of direct to Toshiba. Not sure I would trust this seller in 2 years.

Does it support standby/sleep/spin-down/whatever-power-saving-feature?

(Some SAS drivers would just run at maximum speed/power/heat/noise at all time)

Then it's likely these drives are system pulls or overstock OEM drives intended to be installed in systems by system builders.

That defeats the purpose of these drives.

Get a consumer grade drive if you need spin down. These are loud.

Is this one super noisy like the WD 18TB?
I had a noisy 10 TB drive that was rattling the case. I wrapped the drive with a sock and it lowered the noise by 90%. I thought I was a genius.

Is the benefit is SAS over SATA just data transfer speed? But that comes at the expense of noise and power consumption?

Or worse, your cotton sock has a "thermal event", AKA catches on fire...
I'm extremely cautious about these types of things. (I've worked on 10s of thousands of servers in east coast USA datacenters).
I instead recommend applying electrical tape to any areas that are rattling, which is safer, and works great, just avoid blocking air flow or covering Hard Drive air holes.

I did upgrade my Perc card on the dell server to support larger than 2tb drives. I have mixed SAS and SATA already highest I have is 4tb, but not sure about this kn drive. Upgraded Controller went from H300 to H700 on the Dell PowerEdge.

Anyone know?

Thanks,
