400-ASHT Use Case
Enterprise Virtualization Storage Expansion
In a large data center running VMware ESXi clusters, IT architects integrate the 400-ASHT-2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps 512n 2.5
SMB NAS Backup and File-Sharing Solution
A mid-sized law firm deploys a Synology RackStation NAS populated with multiple 400-ASHT-2TB drives in RAID 6 to centralize document archiving, secure client records, and enable multi-user access. The SATA 6 Gbps interface and 512 n sector format deliver consistent read/write performance for concurrent backups and file transfers. Outcome: enhanced data integrity, 2 GB/s aggregate throughput, simplified hot-plug maintenance, and a 40% reduction in backup windows.
24/7 Surveillance NVR Storage
A retail chain upgrades its network video recorders (NVRs) with 400-ASHT-2TB 7.2K RPM drives to handle continuous HD CCTV streams across 50 stores. The drive’s 2 TB capacity and sustained 6 Gbps throughput support up to 30 days of high-resolution footage per location. Hot-swapping ensures uninterrupted recording during drive replacements. Outcome: reliable 24/7 video retention, simplified field maintenance, and compliance with security audit requirements.
