DC Supplies Product Note
This is a SAS enterprise drive, not a standard SATA desktop hard drive. Before ordering, confirm that your server or storage enclosure supports 2.5-inch SAS drives, 12Gb/s SAS connectivity, and the required sector format. Verify the exact part number ST2400MM0159, as its ISE security configuration differs from related models.
