10,500 RPM
3.5-Inch SAS AL13SEL Series Hard Disk Drive
High Capacity, 6 Gb/s SAS
Interface Enterprise HDD for
Mission-Critical Server and
Storage Applications
The Toshiba AL13SEL 3.5-inch hard disk models deliver 6 Gb/s
SAS interface enterprise-class performance in capacities ranging
The AL13SEL models use a 3.5-inch bracket to enable small
form factor drives to be used in legacy based 3.5-inch servers and
storage enclosures. By incorporating the AL13SE series 2.5-inch
drive, the AL13SEL option features a 10,500 RPM spin speed,
6 Gb/sec SAS interface, and the power consumption benefits
normally found with small form factor drive technology.
The AL13SE series is the first 10,000 RPM class model enterprise
drive from Toshiba to achieve 900GB capacity and is also the
first of Toshiba's 10,000 RPM drives to employ a dual-stage head
positioning actuator that provides additional performance gains,
including a 32% increase in sustained transfer rate.
Designed for even the most demanding mission-critical
applications, the AL13SE series features an operating reliability
rating of 2,000,000 power-on hours
generation drives. System compatibility is also assured through
usage of the industry-standard 512 byte sector size.
In keeping with Toshiba's leadership in power efficiency design,
the AL13SE Series uses Supported Enhanced Power Condition
State technology to lower RPM idle speed.
The AL13SEL series drive is designed to support enterprise
applications where reliability, high capacity, and performance are
required. Specific applications include mid-range volume servers,
mainstream storage arrays, blade and rackmount servers, and
other mission-critical, power-conscious, data-intensive systems.
