Enterprise-Grade 12TB 7200RPM SATA HDD

The Water Panther Expanse drives deliver highly available and validated expansive storage solutions, qualified for storage-area-network (SAN) storage servers, virtualized SAN clusters, and hyper-converged hybrid SAN systems. These streamlined expansive storage solutions are designed to meet the rigorous demands of SAN systems, requiring highly available storage hardware in terms of redundancy, performance, and data integrity.

The Expanse series drives feature dual-port options, enabling the creation of redundant storage arrays at the hardware level. With a wide selection of drive types, users can easily expand data capacity and scale storage management with enterprise-class components and technology.

At the core of the Expanse series is a focus on data integrity at the hardware level. These drives mitigate hardware bottlenecks and lower software overhead through end-to-end data protection. Advanced error-correcting code (ECC) validates and resolves data discrepancies and faults, while non-volatile write cache protection mechanisms safeguard data in the event of power loss.

Key features of the Expanse series include: - Advanced onboard ECC for end-to-end data protection - Non-volatile write cache flushing technology for power-loss protection - Support for legacy 512-byte and 4K native (4Kn) sector formats - Secure erase and crypto sanitize options for streamlined drive retirement - Interface options including SATA, SAS, and U.2 NVMe

These drives are optimized for a wide range of mission-critical applications, including artificial intelligence, enterprise resource planning, video surveillance, real-time transactional databases, and digital content creation. The flexible drive configurations enable multi-tiered and multi-system environment deployments, allowing value-added resellers and managed-service providers to streamline storage configurations with ease.

The Water Panther Expanse SAN Drive series is backed by a 2-year warranty and offers a compelling combination of data integrity, performance, and scalability. Whether for enterprise-level SAN deployments or data-intensive workloads, the Expanse series delivers the robust storage solutions needed to meet the demands of today's data-driven environments.
