What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against MZ-QL29600 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Endurance matched to the workload
We ask what the drive is being written to before quoting, because a read-intensive part on a write-heavy volume is a warranty claim waiting to happen.
Carrier and firmware confirmed
The drive, the caddy it needs and the firmware family the controller expects are all checked as one order.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is MZ-QL29600 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will MZ-QL29600 work in my server?
Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list, since mechanical fit is the easy part.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
