Storage System Compatibility

This drive carries specialized EMC Enterprise Firmware and is formatted to 4160-byte sectors (standard commercial drives use 512-byte or 4096-byte blocks). This specific block structure allows the EMC operating system to store data alongside end-to-end checksums and metadata for advanced data integrity.

Primary Storage Array Compatibility:

EMC Unity Series (e.g., Unity 300, 400, 500, 600 / 300F, 400F, 500F, 600F Digital Arrays)

EMC VNX2 Series (via supported 12G SAS expansion enclosures)

EMC DAE (Disk Array Enclosures): 25-drive 2.5-inch 2U dense enclosures (e.g., high-speed performance tiers)
