Product overview

First sold on September 25, 2020, this 14TB model is part of Water Panther’s Arsenal DAS series—recertified/OEM enterprise hard drives prepared for direct‑attached storage environments.Sourceshopabunda.com

Positioning: workstation‑tier HDD aimed at high‑capacity DAS/JBOD/RAID arrays where reliability and cost per TB matter more than SSD‑class speed—why it exists is to offer large enterprise‑grade capacity at lower cost than brand‑new enterprise SKUs. With 3.5-inch form factor, SATA 6 Gb/s interface, and 7200 RPM platters, it’s suited to bulk storage; expect ~220 MB/s sustained transfers typical of this class, making it a fit for mass storage and big game libraries rather than OS or scratch workloads. Notable: Arsenal drives are explicitly sourced from major OEMs and resold under the Water Panther label.Sourcewaterpanther.com
