UCS-C3K-EX40TE

This Cisco 40TB hard drive array combines four 10TB SAS drives, each spinning at 7200 RPM, to deliver reliable storage for demanding data environments. It's built for enterprise use where large capacity and steady throughput are critical, such as in data centers and server farms.

Often found in Cisco UCS systems and storage enclosures, these drives serve IT professionals managing applications requiring high-volume storage with consistent performance. They are a solid choice for workloads that balance speed with bulk data retention, including backups and archival.

Key Features

• High-capacity setup with 40TB total storage space
• 7200 RPM speed balances performance and power consumption
• 12Gbps SAS interface supports rapid data access
• 3.5-inch size fits standard enterprise drive bays
• Designed to work seamlessly with Cisco UCS environments

You will typically find these drives in enterprise server racks where large datasets are stored and accessed regularly but don’t require the highest spindle speed. Their role is often to provide dependable, sizable storage that integrates smoothly within Cisco’s hardware ecosystem.

This setup helps IT teams maintain data availability and efficient storage management without overinvesting in ultra-high-speed drives when not needed.
