As an internal 3.5-inch hard drive, it fits standard drive bays in compatible systems. The dimensions are 1.04" (26.50 mm) in height, 4.17" (105.90 mm) in width, and 6.78" (172.30 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 1.70 lb (770 g), ensuring a compact and manageable footprint.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Wireless LAN. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This hard drive combines high capacity with a specialized interface for efficient storage management. The Near Line SATA (NL-SATA) technology optimizes it for nearline use cases, where data needs to be accessible but not constantly in active use, making it ideal for backup, archival, or secondary storage roles.
High-Capacity Storage
With 4TB of space, this drive can store millions of images, hundreds of hours of video, or extensive music libraries, reducing the need for frequent upgrades.
- Ample space for large files
- Reduces storage management overhead
Optimized Interface Performance
The SATA/600 interface enhances burst performance, allowing quicker data reads and writes compared to older SATA standards, which improves overall system responsiveness.
- Faster data transfer rates
- Improved system efficiency
Deployment / Use Cases
This drive is designed for integration into Buffalo TeraStation 51210RH storage systems, making it a reliable choice for small to medium-sized businesses or IT environments that require expanded storage capacity. Its nearline SATA interface suits applications where data is accessed less frequently but must remain readily available.
Common use cases include backup and disaster recovery solutions, media storage for creative professionals, archival of historical data, or as additional storage in networked storage systems. The internal form factor ensures it works seamlessly within compatible hardware without external enclosures.
Backup and Archival
Ideal for storing backup copies of critical data or archiving older files that need retention but infrequent access, leveraging the high capacity and reliable interface.
Media Storage
Suitable for housing large media files such as videos, photos, or audio recordings, providing ample space without compromising on access speed.
Physical Profile
The drive has a standard 3.5-inch internal form factor with dimensions of 1.04" in height, 4.17" in width, and 6.78" in depth, and weighs approximately 1.70 lb. This size ensures compatibility with most internal drive bays in supported storage systems, offering a straightforward installation process without requiring additional adapters or mounts.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.04" (26.50 mm), 4.17" (105.90 mm), 6.78" (172.30 mm), 1.70 lb (770 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
