02351SHC

Which storage systems support the 02351SHC encryption drive?

This drive is exclusively designed for Huawei OceanStor enterprise storage systems. Compatible models include:

• OceanStor 18500 V5
• OceanStor 18800 V5

What are the core technical specifications of this SSD?

The 02351SHC is a high-performance SAS SSD offering:

• Raw capacity: 3.84 TB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch enterprise-grade
• Sector size: 520 bytes (fixed format)
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Encryption: Hardware-based full disk encryption
• Classification: HSSD (High-end SSD)

Is the encryption feature hardware-based or software-based?

The 02351SHC integrates hardware-based encryption directly on the drive controller. This ensures transparent, low-latency data protection without consuming host CPU resources, and it operates independently of the storage system's software encryption layers.

What is the sector size and why does it matter for deployment?

This drive uses a fixed 520-byte sector size, which is commonly required in enterprise SAN environments for additional metadata (e.g., T10 PI protection information). Before deployment, please confirm that your OceanStor V5 system and volume configurations are set to support 520-byte sector drives to avoid compatibility mismatches.
