About the AL15SEB24EQY

The Toshiba AL15SE 2.4TB (AL15SEB24EQY) is a 2.5 inch SAS hard drive built around a 10,500 rpm platter design and a 12Gb/s SAS interface. This capacity and spindle speed point to use in servers and storage arrays where a balance of capacity and performance is needed, such as general purpose storage tiers or secondary workloads behind faster SSD caches.

Every unit in this listing has passed a full set of functional and health tests before being offered for sale. The three drives currently in stock have logged between 41,772 and 41,949 power-on hours, placing them in the Value usage tier, which covers drives recorded at over 40,000 hours of prior service. Sequential benchmark results on tested units show a median of 266 MB/s read and 265 MB/s write.

All units were sanitized using a cryptographic scramble method before listing. Testing included a full read and write pass, an extended self-test across the entire disk surface, and a SMART health check, so buyers receive drives with verified mechanical and data integrity history rather than untested pulls.

AL15SEB24EQY questions

What kind of workloads suit this drive?+

Its 2.4TB capacity, 10,500 rpm spindle speed, and 12Gb/s SAS interface make it suited to general purpose server storage and secondary storage tiers in arrays, where steady sequential throughput and reasonable capacity per drive are useful.

Is this drive compatible with any SAS server or array?+

It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface in a 2.5 inch form factor, so it will work with backplanes and controllers that support SAS drives of this size and interface speed, though you should confirm your chassis and HBA support 12Gb/s SAS before purchase.

What does this store check on each unit before selling it?+

Each drive undergoes a sequential and random read/write benchmark, a full extended self-test across the entire surface, a cross-check of power-on hours against an independent on-drive log, a NIST 800-88 sanitize with read-back verification, and a SMART health read covering reallocated, pending, and uncorrectable sectors.

What does the Value usage tier mean for this drive?+

The Value tier applies to drives with over 40,000 recorded power-on hours. All three units of this part number currently in stock fall into this tier, with logged hours between 41,772 and 41,949.

How was data erased from these drives before resale?+

All units were sanitized using a cryptographic scramble method and the erasure was confirmed with read-back verification as part of the NIST 800-88 sanitize process.
