connectivity
Offers higher reliability, performance and 
data availability by eliminating single 
points of failure, designed for high-
availability mission-critical enterprise 
systems.
Rotary Acceleration Feed 
Forward (RAFF
)
Optimizes operation and performance 
when the drives are used in vibration-
prone, multi-drive chassis.
NoTouch
 ramp load technology
