Compatibility Summary
HGST Ultrastar 7K4000
4TB, 6Gb/s SATA Hard Drive
US724040ALE640
US724030ALE640
US724020ALE640
The Ultrastar 7K4000 hard drives feature
Advanced Format technology. Advanced
Format increases the physical sector size on
hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K)
bytes, which increases drive capacities and
improves error correction capabilities.
Please consult the HGST Advanced Format
Drives page for more information on using
these hard drives.
Compatibility Testing
The HGST Integration Lab tested this family
of Ultrastar™ drives for compatibility with a
wide variety of systems, Host Bus Adapter
cards, enclosures, operating systems, etc.
Testing was performed to demonstrate
compatibility with the following hardware
and software. Other combinations of
hardware and software are expected to
function with this product family, but have
not been evaluated. This compatibility
testing confirms simply that the hard drive
was recognized, partitioned and then data
Page 1 of 4 version 1.0
was written to and read from it. Drive
capacity and interface speed are not always
verified during compatibility testing.
Many factors must be considered in order to
take advantage of high-capacity drives
(>2.2TB). Some configurations offer a
higher likelihood of success. If you want to
use a high-capacity drive, please refer to our
High Capacity Technolo g y Brief and visit
our Above 2TB web page at
http://www.hgst.com/internal-drives/above2tb
HGST recommends you back up all data
before installing your new hard drive.

equals 1,000 GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive
capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity
due to formatting and partitioning of the hard drive, the computer’s
operating system, and other factors.
