The 400-AYIL Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 2.5Inch In 3.5Inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor Hot-Plug Hard Drive With Hybrid Tray For 14G Poweredge Server is a high-performance hard drive designed for use with Dell PowerEdge servers. In this article, we will explain in detail what each of these terms means and how they relate to the overall performance of the hard drive.
Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPSThe first part of the hard drive's name, "Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS," describes some of the most important specifications of the drive. "2.4TB" refers to the amount of storage capacity provided by the drive, which is quite significant and should be sufficient for most server applications. "10K RPM" describes the rotational speed of the drive, which is how fast the platters inside the drive spin. A higher RPM generally means faster read and write speeds, which is important for a server that needs to access data quickly. Finally, "SAS-12GBPS" refers to the interface used by the drive to communicate with the server. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a high-performance interface that can handle large amounts of data, and 12GBPS is the maximum speed supported by the interface.
512EThe next part of the hard drive's name, "512E," describes the sector size used by the drive. A sector is the smallest unit of data that can be read or written to a hard drive. In older hard drives, the sector size was typically 512 bytes, but newer drives like the 400-AYIL Dell use a larger sector size of 4KB (4096 bytes). However, to maintain compatibility with older systems, the drive presents itself as having a sector size of 512 bytes through a process known as emulation. This is what the "512E" designation means – it tells us that the drive uses 512-byte emulation to maintain compatibility with older systems.
2.5Inch In 3.5Inch Hybrid Carrier Form FactorThe next part of the hard drive's name, "2.5Inch In 3.5Inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor," describes the physical size and shape of the drive. The 2.5-inch form factor is a common size for laptop hard drives, while the 3.5-inch form factor is more commonly used for desktop hard drives. The "hybrid carrier" form factor used by this drive is a combination of the two – it allows the 2.5-inch drive to fit into a 3.5-inch drive bay by using a special carrier that surrounds the smaller drive. This is useful for servers that have limited space for storage drives.
Hot-Plug Hard Drive With Hybrid TrayThe next part of the hard drive's name, "Hot-Plug Hard Drive With Hybrid Tray," describes the way in which the drive can be installed and removed from the server. "Hot-plug" refers to the ability to add or remove the drive while the server is running, without having to power down the server first. This is important for servers that need to have high availability – if a drive fails, it can be replaced without having to bring the server offline. The "hybrid tray" refers to the carrier mentioned earlier – it is designed to be easy to install and remove, and can be used with both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives.
