Quick Answer: Will the T36Y2 work with my RAID controller?
The T36Y2 operates with any standard SAS/SATA/NVMe-compatible RAID controller (Dell PERC, HPE Smart Array, LSI/Broadcom MegaRAID, Adaptec, IBM ServeRAID, Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID). Mixing this drive in the same RAID volume with drives of different speed/capacity is supported but never recommended.

The T36Y2 is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
Citrix / Horizon VDI — Linked-clone master images and write-cache disks. Lower DWPD acceptable since VDI write patterns are bursty.
NoSQL & Real-Time Analytics — MongoDB, Cassandra, ClickHouse, Druid hot-tier nodes. NVMe variant strongly preferred over SAS/SATA for query latency.
Hypervisor Boot — ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox boot drives. Read-intensive (1 DWPD) is sufficient. Mirror two drives for redundancy.

Will the T36Y2 work with my RAID controller?
The T36Y2 operates with any standard SAS/SATA/NVMe-compatible RAID controller (Dell PERC, HPE Smart Array, LSI/Broadcom MegaRAID, Adaptec, IBM ServeRAID, Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID). Mixing this drive in the same RAID volume with drives of different speed/capacity is supported but never recommended.

How to Pick the Right Drive Capacity for Your Use Case
If the T36Y2 is going into a RAID array, choose RAID 6 over RAID 5 for any capacity tier built from drives larger than 4 TB. The probability of a second drive failing during rebuild from a 6+ TB rebuild window is high enough that single-parity is no longer responsible. For all-flash arrays, RAID 10 still wins on write-amplification-sensitive workloads (OLTP databases, VDI write-cache).
Drive Health Monitoring: SMART, Workload Rating, and Predictive Failure
Once the T36Y2 is in production, the single most impactful operational practice is SMART monitoring tied to your existing alerting stack. SMART attributes 187 (reported uncorrectable errors), 197 (current pending sector count), and 198 (offline uncorrectable sector count) are the leading indicators of impending drive failure. Alert on non-zero values, not just on absolute thresholds; once these attributes leave zero, the drive has typically 30-90 days of useful life remaining.
