According to EMS, TD3500 SATA hard disk performs in temperature, altitude, shock, vibration, humidity, and dust conditions that would destroy conventional hard disks. The 3.5" form factor and SATA (Serial ATA) interface allows the TD3500 SATA hard disk to be used as a drop-in COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) replacement of conventional 3.5" low-profile drives, resulting in a storage capacity greater than equivalently performing SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) disks.

The TD3500 SATA hard disk can be used with SAS controllers as well as with any of the ubiquitous embedded SATA ports. The units provide the performance of SAS enterprise-class disks without the heat and mechanical limitations of these 15K rpm disks. The TD3500 SATA product's internal RAID (redundant array of independent disks) doubles the medial transfer rate normally available from rugged disks.
