Product Overview
The NETAPP 18R1086 is a NetApp 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5-inch hard disk drive designed for enterprise storage environments where consistent performance and predictable latency matter. With a 10K RPM spindle speed, SAS interface, and compact 2.5" form factor, it is a practical choice for mixed workload tiers, virtualisation datastores, and business-critical applications within supported NetApp platforms.
This drive is typically deployed in NetApp storage systems using 2.5" SAS drive bays and is well-suited for maintenance spares, capacity expansion, or lifecycle extension projects. For building a complete NetApp stack, you can also source related components from NETAPP categories such as CONTROLLER, EXPANSION, and BACKPLANE.
Key Features
Key technical characteristics and deployment benefits for professional NetApp environments:
- 1.2TB capacity in a 2.5-inch SFF HDD format to increase density in supported NetApp disk shelves and storage nodes.
- 10K RPM spindle speed to support consistent performance for transactional workloads and virtual machine storage.
- SAS interface to integrate with enterprise-class storage connectivity and dual-path architectures where supported.
- Designed for 24/7 operation in data center storage arrays to support continuous service delivery.
- Compatibility with NetApp systems that accept 2.5" 10K SAS drives, for example selected FAS and AFF families using SAS-attached drive shelves.
- Suitable as a replacement/spare FRU-style drive (18R1086) to keep existing NetApp installations aligned with approved part numbers.
- Optimised for use behind NetApp storage controllers and shelf enclosures to maintain consistent drive population within an array.
- Good fit for expansion and maintenance scenarios to extend the lifecycle of existing NetApp storage infrastructure.
