Description
Product Specifications
UCS-HD300G15K12N is an internal hard drive made by Cisco for its UCS C220 M5 rack server. This hard drive is designed to provide high-speed data transfer and reliability for critical applications in data centers. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of the UCS-HD300G15K12N hard drive in detail.
Features
The UCS-HD300G15K12N hard drive is a 2.5-inch SAS hard drive with a storage capacity of 300 GB. It has a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which makes it one of the fastest hard drives available in the market. This high-speed operation makes it suitable for applications that require quick access to data, such as databases, online transaction processing, and data analytics.
The hard drive uses SAS 12 Gbps (Gigabits per second) interface to transfer data to and from the server. This interface provides faster data transfer rates than the SATA interface used in consumer-grade hard drives. The SAS interface also provides better reliability and data integrity features, making it ideal for enterprise applications.
Reliability
The UCS-HD300G15K12N hard drive is designed to provide high reliability for critical applications. It has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 2 million hours, which means that it can operate for an average of 2 million hours before failing. This rating is higher than that of consumer-grade hard drives, which typically have an MTBF rating of around 1 million hours.
The hard drive also supports various features that ensure data integrity and prevent data loss. These features include Error Correction Code (ECC), which detects and corrects data errors that may occur during data transfer. It also supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART), which monitors the health of the hard drive and alerts the user in case of any issues.
Compatibility
The UCS-HD300G15K12N hard drive is designed specifically for the UCS C220 M5 rack server, which means that it is fully compatible with this server. It is also compatible with other servers that support SAS hard drives. However, it is important to note that compatibility with other servers may vary depending on the server’s specifications.
Installation
The installation of the UCS-HD300G15K12N hard drive is straightforward and can be done by following the instructions provided by Cisco. The hard drive is designed to be hot-swappable, which means that it can be replaced while the server is running without any interruption to the operation of the server. This feature makes it easy to replace a faulty hard drive without shutting down the server.
In Summary, the UCS-HD300G15K12N hard drive is a high-speed, reliable, and compatible hard drive designed specifically for the UCS C220 M5 rack server. Its high-speed operation and reliability features make it ideal for critical applications in data centers.
