💎 NetApp 1TB 7.2K SATA Enterprise Hard DriveModel: WD1003FBYX | NetApp PN: X302A-R5 | IBM/NetApp PN: 00V7466 | 7,200 RPM | SATA 3Gb/s

The NetApp X302A-R5 (manufactured by Western Digital as part of the specialized RE4 - RAID Edition series) is a high-reliability enterprise drive specifically firmware-optimized for NetApp FAS and IBM N-Series storage arrays. Built on the rock-solid RE4 platform, this drive is engineered to handle the intense vibrations of multi-drive shelves while providing the specialized error recovery (TLER) required for professional RAID environments.

📊 Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 💾 1 TB

• Interface: ⚡ SATA 3Gb/s (SATA II)

• Spindle Speed: 🏎️ 7,200 RPM

• Cache: 🧠 64 MB

• Form Factor: 📏 3.5-inch LFF

• Recording Technology: 🖋️ CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording)

• MTBF: 🛡️ 1.2 Million Hours

• Sector Format: 💾 512n (Native)

✅ Why This Drive Rocks

• Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited, secure-erased to NIST 800-88 standards, and verified for 100% health. These units are verified to ensure they are properly recognized by NetApp Data ONTAP.

• NetApp Specialized Firmware: Features the essential NetApp/IBM firmware (00V7466) required to avoid "unsupported" or "non-functional" status in FAS storage systems. Standard off-the-shelf WD drives will not be accepted by NetApp controllers.

• RAID Edition (RE4) Durability: Designed with dual processors for maximum performance and multi-axis shock sensors to automatically protect data against subtle vibrations in high-density 24-bay or 60-bay expansion shelves.

• Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER): A critical enterprise feature that prevents drive "drop-outs" caused by extended hard drive error-recovery cycles, ensuring the stability of your RAID volume.

• 512n Native Format: The 512-byte native sector format ensures seamless compatibility with older NetApp shelves (like the DS4243) and legacy RAID controllers.

📦 Compatibility & Use Case

• Target Systems: Optimized for NetApp FAS2000, FAS3000, and FAS6000 series, as well as IBM N-Series (N3300, N3400, N3600) arrays. Commonly used in DS4243 and DS4246 expansion shelves.

• Ideal Workloads: Secondary storage tiers, localized backups, bulk data archiving, and cost-effective capacity expansion for legacy NetApp environments.

• Universal SATA Interface: Can also be used in standard Dell, HP, or Supermicro servers, where it will function as a high-quality WD RE4 enterprise drive.
