As an enterprise-class 7200 RPM hard drive, it is louder than standard consumer drives and is intended to be used in chassis designed for sound and vibration dampening.
No, it uses a standard Serial ATA III interface which is compatible with most modern motherboards and RAID controllers.
The drive has a typical power consumption of 6.4 W and an idle consumption of 5.3 W.
Check the SATA data and power cable connections, and verify that the SATA port is enabled in the motherboard or RAID controller BIOS.
Ensure the drive is not overheating and that the enclosure has sufficient active airflow; check for high levels of ambient vibration.
This drive uses a standard Serial ATA III interface, making it physically compatible with most 3.5-inch drive bays. When installing, ensure the host system provides adequate cooling, as enterprise drives perform best within a controlled thermal range of 5 to 60 °C. Because the drive is rated for 24/7 operation, it should be kept powered on; frequent start/stop cycles are rated for 600,000 cycles, but constant uptime is its intended state. Always ensure your server's backplane supports SATA III speeds of 6 Gbit/s to fully utilize the sustained transfer rates of the drive.
