Cisco UCS-HD16TW7KL4KM 16TB 12G SAS 7.2K RPM LFF HDD | Enterprise Storage — UCS-HD16TW7KL4KM

When storage growth has to stay controlled, this 16 TB Cisco SAS hard drive gives you more room without changing the architecture around it. Built for Cisco UCS environments, it pairs a 12G SAS interface with 7,200 RPM mechanical performance to support steady capacity expansion in backup, archive, and bulk data tiers. The 4K sector format fits storage platforms that expect modern sector alignment and efficient use of capacity. Its large 3.5-inch LFF design is well suited to dense arrays where maximizing terabytes per enclosure matters. For infrastructure teams standardizing on Cisco hardware, this drive helps keep replacement parts and expansion media aligned with the same platform strategy. Compared with smaller-capacity options, this model reduces the number of drives needed to reach a target footprint, which can simplify shelf planning and inventory management. It is a practical choice for organizations that want enterprise SAS storage with the capacity headroom to support growing retention windows and expanding datasets. Ideal For Cisco UCS backup repositories with growing retention needs Archive storage tiers requiring high-capacity SAS drives Bulk data storage in rack-mounted enterprise arrays Replacement inventory for Cisco storage maintenance programs Why This Product 1 More capacity than 14 TB class drives 2 SAS interface for enterprise storage platforms 3 4K sector support for modern storage alignment 4 LFF format for dense capacity deployment
