The Dell 161-BBVH 20TB 72K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512e NL internal hard drive is a high-capacity, high-performance storage device designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems.
In terms of interface, the drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-performance and reliable interface that is commonly used in data centers and other enterprise environments. It should be compatible with any system or device that supports the SAS interface.
The hard drive is a NL (Nearline) form factor. NL hard drives are designed to offer high-performance and high-capacity storage at a lower cost per GB than traditional enterprise-level hard drives, they are typically used in applications that require high storage density and high-performance data transfer. It should be compatible with any system or device that can accommodate a NL form factor hard drive.
In terms of rotation speed, the hard drive has a rotation speed of 7.2k RPM which is standard for high-performance hard drives, it should be compatible with any system or device that supports this rotation speed.
This hard drive uses 512e sector size which is an advanced format that uses a larger physical block size (4,096 bytes) than the traditional 512-byte block size. This allows for more efficient use of disk space and can improve performance. It should be compatible with any system or device that supports 512e sector size.
It's always a good idea to check the vendor's documentation or consult with the vendor's technical support team to ensure compatibility before installing a new hard drive.
High PerformanceThe performance of a Dell 20TB SAS-12 Gbps internal hard drive would be considered good for a hard disk drive. The SAS-12 Gbps interface is a newer and faster interface than SATA, which will provide better overall performance. The high storage capacity of 20TB is ideal for tasks that require a lot of storage space such as backups, archiving, and media storage.
This hard drives, in general, have slower read-write performance compared to solid-state drives (SSDs) due to the mechanical nature of their data access. The drive's performance will also depend on the speed of its rotation, which is not specified in this model. Typically, hard drives with faster RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) will have better performance than those with slower RPM.
It's recommended to check the product specification and reviews before purchasing the Dell 20TB SAS-12 Gbps internal hard drive and evaluate if it is suitable for the intended usage. Keep in mind that the performance of the drive will also depend on the RAID configuration, controller, and the workload. Additionally, it's important to make sure that the system where the drive is going to be installed is compatible with the drive and can support the SAS 12 Gbps interface.
Exceptional CompatibilityDell 20TB 72K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512e NL (512-byte emulation) internal hard drive is compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers that support SAS-12Gbps hard drives and have a SAS interface. This drive is also compatible with systems that support the SAS-3 standard, which allows for faster data transfer speeds and improved performance.
As with any hard drive, it is best to check the compatibility list provided by Dell's website to ensure the drive is compatible with your specific Dell PowerEdge server model.
It's also important to note that this drive is a 512-byte emulation drive, which means it is designed to emulate a 512-byte sector size to maintain backward compatibility with legacy systems that are not designed to handle the larger 4K sector size.
Make sure the server's BIOS and RAID controller are compatible with the drive and that the server has the necessary power and cooling to support the additional storage capacity.
