The 2H3231-150 Seagate 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E 3.5Inch Enterprise HDD is a high-performance, high-capacity storage solution for enterprise-grade systems and applications.
The Storage has a storage capacity of 12 terabytes and a rotation speed of 7200 RPM. This provides faster data access times than slower-spinning drives, which can help improve the overall performance of the storage system.
This drive uses the SAS-12GBPS interface, which is a 12 Gbps SAS interface that supports the latest generation of SAS-based storage solutions. This interface provides faster data transfer speeds than SAS-6GBPS and SAS-3GBPS interfaces, allowing for faster data access and better performance when working with large data sets or when multiple users are accessing the data simultaneously.
The HDD is 512e formatted which means it uses 512 byte logical block size and 4096 byte physical block size. This allows for more efficient use of storage space and less overhead, which can result in improved performance.
This Item also has a 256MB cache buffer and it's 3.5 inch form factor, which is a standard size for enterprise hard disk drives.
Seagate 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E 3.5Inch Enterprise HDD is a high-performance, high-capacity storage solution for enterprise-grade systems and applications that require large amounts of storage and fast data access. It's optimized for high-density storage and high-performance data processing and its 512e format allows for more efficient use of storage space.
Backup & Restore FacilitiesTo perform a backup and restore on a Seagate 12TB SAS-12GBPS hard drive, you can use a variety of backup software options such as Seagate's own software, or third-party software like Veeam, Acronis, or Symantec Backup Exec. The specific steps will depend on the software you choose, but generally, the process involves creating a backup of the data on the hard drive, and then restoring the data to the hard drive from the backup.
Here's a general overview of the process:
- Install and configure the backup software on your system.
- Connect the Seagate 12TB SAS-12GBPS hard drive to your system.
- Create a new backup job in the software and select the hard drive as the source of the backup.
- Choose the backup type (full, incremental, differential) and schedule the backup to run at a convenient time.
- Verify that the backup has completed successfully.
- To restore data, choose the restore option in the software, select the backup you want to restore from, and specify the location where you want to restore the data.
Please note that it is always a good idea to verify the integrity of the backup and also to have multiple copies of the backup stored in different locations to protect against data loss. Additionally, it is advisable to use RAID technology to protect your data from disk failure.
High Performance & ReliabilityThe reliability of a hard drive can be affected by various factors, such as the quality of the components used, the manufacturing process, and the workload the drive is subjected to. In general, enterprise-grade hard drives like the Seagate 12TB SAS-12GBPS HDD are designed to be more reliable than consumer-grade hard drives.
Seagate's enterprise-class hard drives are built to meet the demands of high-availability environments and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet high standards for performance, reliability, and data integrity. The SAS interface, 12GBPS and 12TB capacity provide increased reliability, performance, and data storage.
It's important to note that the actual reliability of a hard drive can also be influenced by how it's used and the environment in which it's deployed, such as temperature, humidity, and vibration. Properly maintaining and monitoring the drive and the system it's used in can help ensure optimal performance and reliability.
This is also important to note that while the drive is designed for enterprise and data center environments, it may not perform as well as drives with a SAS interface in high-performance workloads.
It's recommended to check with Seagate and your system vendor for specific information on the drive's reliability, and consult the system documentation and ensure that the drive is supported by your RAID controller as well as the RAID level you are using.
