Please read: this drive's SMART background self-tests consistently end with "Failed in segment". It reports SMART health OK, 0 grown defects and 0 uncorrected errors, and it was working in a ZFS mirror until it was removed. Priced accordingly.

Currently formatted with 4096-byte sectors. SAS drives can be reformatted (e.g. sg_format --size=512) if your system needs 512-byte sectors.

OEM firmware. It worked as a plain SAS disk on a standard LSI HBA under Linux/ZFS; it is not tested in the OEM's own storage arrays.

Bare drive only: no caddy, tray, cables or screws.
