Product Description
Network Data that can Scale
Water Panther Expanse drives deliver highly-available and validated expansive storage solutions and is qualified for storage-area-network (SAN) storage servers, virtualized SAN clusters, and hyper-converged hybrid SAN systems.
Streamlined Expansive Storage
SAN systems require highly available storage hardware in terms of redundancy, performance, and data integrity. With dual-port options, redundant storage arrays are made possible at the hardware level. Expand data to new heights with drive options that are compatible with existing infrastructure. Scale storage management with enterprise class components and technology.
Data Integrity at the Hardware Level
The Expanse series mitigates hardware bottlenecks and lowers software overhead through end-to-end data protection. Expanse series drives yield advanced error-correcting code (ECC) which validates and resolves data discrepancies and faults. Expanse drives additionally feature non-volatile write cache protection mechanisms in case of power loss. Circumvent data corruption and data integrity tasks at the hardware level for highly scalable storage configurations.
Features
Cache Buffer
Advanced onboard ECC for end-to-end data protection, non-volatile write cache flushing technology for power-loss protection
Sector Format Options
Legacy 512-byte support, 4K native (4Kn) HDD options available which require UEFI boot if used as boot disks and 4Kn drives cannot be mixed with 512-byte formatted arrays
Encryption Options
Standard models feature overwrite secure erase, SED models enable crypto sanitize for streamlined drive retirement and require TCG compliant disk controllers
Interface
Wide selection of standard SATA, power-disable SATA, SAS, and U.2 NVMe (SAS and U.2 NVMe require compatible disk controllers and backplane)
Streamlined
Many drive type options that enable multi-tiered and multi-system environment configurations. Value-added resellers and managed-service providers can stream line storage configurations with ease.
Power Management
Host-managed power-disable SATA options, standard feature on SAS options
