In the world of data storage and server systems, the 161-BBWK 20 Terabytes (TB) 7200 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Ise 6 Gigabytes Per Second (GBPS) 512e 3.5-inch Hot-plug Hard Disk Drive (HDD) With Tray is a notable name. This high-capacity hard disk drive is designed to meet the demanding storage needs of modern server environments, particularly Dell's PowerEdge servers. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the 161-BBWK HDD, exploring its key features, advantages, and its compatibility with 14th and 15th generation PowerEdge servers.
Capacity Matters: 20 Terabytes (TB)One of the standout features of the 161-BBWK HDD is its massive storage capacity. With 20 terabytes of storage space, this HDD is capable of housing a significant amount of data. Whether you need to store vast amounts of documents, images, videos, or databases, this drive can handle it all.
For context, 20 terabytes is roughly equivalent to:
- 4 million high-resolution photos
- 1,000 hours of high-definition video
- 5 million MP3 songs
This substantial capacity makes the 161-BBWK an excellent choice for data-intensive applications, such as data warehousing, content delivery, and server virtualization.
Speedy Performance: 7200 RPMThe rotational speed of a hard disk drive plays a crucial role in determining its performance. The 161-BBWK boasts an impressive 7200 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), which is considered high for a SATA HDD. This high RPM translates to faster data access times, making it suitable for applications that require quick data retrieval.
With 7200 RPM, the 161-BBWK can efficiently handle tasks like real-time data processing, virtualization, and high-throughput data transfers, providing a noticeable performance boost compared to slower drives.
SATA Interface: High-Speed Data TransferThe 161-BBWK HDD utilizes a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface. SATA is a widely used connection standard for hard drives, known for its balance between speed and cost-effectiveness. The 161-BBWK features SATA III, capable of delivering data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gigabytes Per Second (GBPS). This high-speed interface ensures that data can flow to and from the drive swiftly, reducing latency and bottlenecks in data-intensive tasks.
Enhanced Data Protection: 512e TechnologyIn the world of hard drives, data integrity is paramount. The 161-BBWK incorporates 512e technology, which stands for 512 bytes per sector with emulation. This technology enhances the drive's data protection capabilities. Each sector on the hard drive is represented as 512 bytes, ensuring compatibility with older systems and operating systems that expect this sector size.
512e technology also improves error correction and helps prevent data loss due to disk errors, making it suitable for critical applications where data accuracy is non-negotiable.
Physical Form Factor: 3.5-inch Hot-plugThe physical form factor of a hard drive is crucial when it comes to compatibility with server systems. The 161-BBWK comes in the 3.5-inch form factor, which is a common size for enterprise-level server drives. This size ensures compatibility with most server bays and drive enclosures.
Additionally, the 161-BBWK is a hot-plug hard drive, meaning it can be inserted and removed from the server while it's running without powering down the system. This feature is vital for reducing downtime during maintenance and upgrades, contributing to high server availability.
Dell PowerEdge Compatibility: 14th and 15th GenerationsThe 161-BBWK HDD is specifically designed for compatibility with Dell PowerEdge servers. It is compatible with both the 14th and 15th generation PowerEdge server models. This compatibility ensures that you can seamlessly integrate the 161-BBWK into your existing server infrastructure without compatibility issues.
The PowerEdge server series from Dell is well-regarded for its reliability, performance, and scalability. By choosing a hard drive tailored to these servers, you can optimize your storage solutions and maintain the high standards set by the PowerEdge brand.
Advantages of the 161-BBWK HDDNow that we've explored the key features of the 161-BBWK HDD, let's delve into the advantages it offers to businesses and data center operators.
