About the NetApp Enterprise HDD 16TB SAS
Operating at 5.9W idle and 8.2W under load, the NetApp Enterprise HDD 16TB SAS (Part Number X11425A-R6) delivers power-efficient reliability for high-capacity storage architectures. In JBOD-dense environments where wattage compounds across hundreds of drives, this nearline HDD minimizes operational costs while maintaining enterprise-grade performance. Storage architects and procurement teams standardize on NetApp certified drives to eliminate compatibility risk and streamline firmware management across distributed storage clusters.
The X11425A-R6 is a NetApp-qualified 3.5-inch LFF drive engineered for FAS and E-Series systems. Its dual-port 12Gb/s SAS interface ensures redundant connectivity within NetApp DS460C disk shelves, reducing single points of failure. With 512e sector emulation, full ONTAP integration, and Advanced Drive Partitioning support, this 16TB capacity drive accelerates deployment timelines and storage efficiency gains. The drive operates at 7,200 RPM, balancing throughput and thermal output in production environments. NetApp firmware management ensures each drive receives coordinated health monitoring and lifecycle optimization through ONTAP disk intelligence. Self-Encrypting Drive variants are available as separate SKUs for deployments requiring compliance-grade encryption. Hot-swap architecture enables field replacement without system downtime.
