About this item
Seagate Exos CORVAULT 4U106 Self-Healing Block Storage System
The Seagate Exos CORVAULT 4U106 is a multi-petabyte block storage system built for data center and hyperscale deployments. Unlike passive JBOD expansion shelves, CORVAULT includes redundant active-active VelosCT controllers with onboard storage management, distributed erasure coding, and autonomous drive repair. The system manages its own storage rather than depending on an external RAID or HBA controller, and is administered through a web GUI, command line interface, or Redfish API over Ethernet. Houses 106 hot-swappable 3.5" bays in a 4U rackmount chassis and requires 200-240V high-line power. Not compatible with desktop PCs.
Highlights
- Ultra-Dense 4U Chassis: 106 hot-swappable 3.5" drive bays in a 4U rackmount form factor, delivering among the highest drive densities available per rack unit
- Redundant Active-Active Controllers: Dual VelosCT controllers with onboard storage management, each providing four mini-SAS-3 HD host I/O ports for a total of eight
- Distributed Erasure Coding: ADAPT technology provides automatic uptime rebuilds without compromising performance, storage utilization, or availability
- Autonomous Drive Regeneration: Self-healing technology renews errant drives in place, reducing downtime, service intervention, and e-waste
- Enterprise Performance: Up to 12 GB/s sequential read and 10 GB/s sequential write throughput
- Integrated Management: Web-based GUI, command line interface, and Redfish API over 10/100/1000 Ethernet, with remote diagnostics and nondisruptive updates
- Self-Encrypting: Seagate Secure provides hardware encryption and secure cryptographic erase
-
Full Serviceability: Hard drives, controllers, cooling modules, power supplies, and expander cards are all hot-swappable
Condition note — please read:
This unit ships with mismatched I/O modules; one is an aftermarket replacement rather than a factory-matched pair. Tested working in this configuration.
Included: Rails, 2x C19 power cable, and all 106 drive carriers
Applications
- Enterprise Data Centers: Multi-petabyte block storage for large-scale deployments
- Backup & Archival: Reliable long-term storage with self-healing data protection
- Big Data & Analytics: Scalable capacity for large datasets and processing workloads
- Media & Surveillance Storage: High-capacity storage for video production and security systems

We test every storage expansion system before you do.
Every storage expansion system Server Part Deals sells passes an internal 4-stage testing protocol before it ships. While many resellers stop at a basic power-on check, we validate drive-bay connectivity, controller communication, power delivery, cooling, and sustained data transfer. Each system is tested to confirm reliable operation and compatibility with its listed specifications.
Stage 1: Physical Inspection
- Chassis and structural inspection
- Drive-bay and caddy alignment check
- Data, power, and management-port inspection
- Fan, cable, and power-supply inspection
Stage 2: Hardware Validation
- Backplane and controller detection
- Drive-bay connectivity verification
- Expansion-module and firmware review
- Fan and power-supply status check
Stage 3: Performance Testing
- Multi-drive read/write cycles
- Interface and link-speed validation
- Concurrent bay-load testing
- Sustained throughput benchmarking
Stage 4: Stability & Connectivity Testing
- Full-bay connectivity scan
- Link-error and disconnect monitoring
- Temperature and airflow verification
- Final configuration and inventory check
