HGST Ultrastar HE10 | HUH721010AL5200 | 0F27352 | 10TB 7200 RPM SAS 12.0GB/S 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch | Instant Secure Erase | 512E | Helium Platform Enterprise Internal Bare Hard Disk Drive

The HUH721010AL5200 model is an SAS drive, and will NOT WORK on a computer as a SATA drive. The SAS plugs are a uniblock that look like the SATA and Power plugs have been fused together, with the central gap filled in by pin connectors on the flip side. You need an SAS controller also, not just the cables. Silly me, I thought all hard disc drives used SATA or SCSI controllers. I guess SAS is the new SCSI (SAS= Serial Attached SCSI). Theres something new every day. Yes, there is a tiny description under the listing for this hard disc drive that says SAS - 7200 - 256 MB Buffer. Needs to be in big bold letters, in the title of this listing. The SAS standard has been around since 2004, but seems to have been mainly in use with large storage systems, and I had never seen a hard disk drive being sold in a consumer retail environment with this sort of connection. SATA models of the He filled 10TB HGST are the HUH721010ALE600, HUH721010ALE601, and HUH721010ALE604

Very fast and easy to install. Working flawlessly right now.

Just got the HGST drive which works well, but due to my inexperience I needed some support. I bought the 10Tb HGST through Platinum Micro and they patiently answered my novice questions. So a thanks to them.
