Fujitsu 4TB 3.5 4000 GB Serial ATA III

Fujitsu 4TB 3.5" SATA III Hard Disk Drive

Overview

The Fujitsu 4TB 3.5" SATA III is a high‑capacity, enterprise‑grade hard disk drive (HDD) designed for demanding data centers and mission‑critical applications. With a generous storage capacity of 4000 GB (4 TB), it delivers ample space for large databases, virtual machine images, backup archives, and other data‑intensive workloads.

Key Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 4000 GB (4 TB)
• Form Factor: 3.5 inch (8.9 cm) – standard for rack‑mounted servers and high‑density storage arrays.
• Rotation Speed: 7200 RPM – balances performance with power consumption, providing quick data access while maintaining energy efficiency.
• Interface: Serial ATA III (SATA 3) – supports a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 6 Gb/s, ensuring fast read/write operations and low latency.
• Operating Temperature Range: 0 °C to 60 °C (typical), with an extended range of -40 °C to +65 °C for harsh environments.
• Voltage Requirements: 5 V / 12 V – compatible with standard server power supplies and PCIe slots.
• Supported Operating Systems: Windows (all recent versions) and Linux (kernel 2.6+), making it versatile across diverse platforms.

Performance Characteristics

The drive’s 7200 RPM spindle speed, combined with a high data transfer rate of 6 Gb/s, delivers consistent throughput for both sequential and random I/O workloads. The SATA III interface supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which optimizes command scheduling to reduce seek times and improve overall efficiency.

Reliability & Durability

Engineered under Fujitsu’s Business Critical line, this HDD incorporates advanced firmware and error‑correction mechanisms. It is built to withstand continuous operation in data centers, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) that aligns with enterprise standards. The drive’s wide temperature tolerance ensures stable performance even in challenging environmental conditions.

Compatibility & Integration

The Fujitsu 4TB SATA III is designed to fit seamlessly into Fujitsu’s own server families, including the Celsius C620, J550, J580, M7010, M720, M770, R920, R940, R970, W520, W550, and W570 series. However, its standard 3.5‑inch form factor and SATA III interface make it compatible with a broad range of third‑party servers, storage arrays, and blade systems that support enterprise HDDs.

Use Cases

• Enterprise Storage: Ideal for large-scale file repositories, content management systems, and data lakes.
• Virtualization Platforms: Provides ample space for virtual machine images and snapshots in VMware, Hyper‑V, or KVM environments.
• Backup & Disaster Recovery: Supports high-volume backup jobs with reliable performance and durability.
• High-Performance Computing (HPC): Suitable for workloads that require fast data access and large storage pools.

Installation & Setup

Installing the drive involves mounting it into a standard 3.5‑inch bay, connecting the SATA data cable to the motherboard or controller card, and attaching the power connector (either 5 V or 12 V). Once powered on, the operating system will recognize the device as a new storage volume. Firmware updates can be applied via Fujitsu’s support portal to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

Conclusion

The Fujitsu 4TB 3.5" SATA III Hard Disk Drive combines high capacity, robust performance, and enterprise‑grade reliability in a compact form factor. Whether you’re expanding a data center’s storage footprint or building a resilient backup solution, this HDD delivers the endurance and speed required for modern IT infrastructures.
