The 268XD Dell 600GB 15K RPM SAS-6GBPS 3.5inch Form Factor Hot-plug Hard Drive is a high-performance storage device designed for use in Dell PowerEdge servers and other enterprise-level applications. In this article, we will explain in detail what each of these specifications means and why they are important.
CapacityThe 268XD Dell hard drive has a capacity of 600GB, which means it can store up to 600 gigabytes of data. This is a significant amount of storage space, which is ideal for organizations that need to store large amounts of data such as video, audio, images, and other types of media. The high storage capacity of the 268XD Dell hard drive means that it can be used for a wide range of applications, from data backup and archiving to database storage and virtualization.
Rotational SpeedThe 268XD Dell hard drive has a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM (revolutions per minute). This means that the disk inside the hard drive spins 15,000 times every minute, which is significantly faster than traditional hard drives that typically have a rotational speed of 5,400 or 7,200 RPM. The faster rotational speed of the 268XD Dell hard drive means that data can be accessed more quickly, resulting in faster read and write speeds. This makes it ideal for applications that require high-speed data access, such as video editing, gaming, and data analysis.
InterfaceThe 268XD Dell hard drive uses a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a type of interface used to connect storage devices to servers and other computing equipment. SAS is a high-performance interface that provides faster data transfer speeds than SATA (Serial ATA), which is a more commonly used interface in consumer-grade hard drives. The SAS interface used in the 268XD Dell hard drive is capable of transferring data at speeds of up to 6GBPS (gigabits per second), which is significantly faster than the 3GBPS maximum speed of SATA 2.0. This means that data can be transferred more quickly between the hard drive and the server or other computing equipment, resulting in faster overall system performance.
Form FactorThe 268XD Dell hard drive has a 3.5-inch form factor, which means it is larger and less compact than the 2.5-inch hard drives. This makes it ideal for use in servers and other computing equipment where space is not limited. The larger form factor of the 268XD Dell hard drive means that it can provide greater storage capacity compared to 2.5-inch hard drives.
Hot-PlugThe 268XD Dell hard drive is a hot-plug hard drive, which means that it can be inserted and removed from the server while the system is still running. This is a convenient feature that allows IT professionals to replace or upgrade hard drives without having to power down the server. The hot-plug feature of the 268XD Dell hard drive also helps to reduce downtime and increase system availability.
CompatibilityThe 268XD Dell hard drive is specifically designed for use in Dell PowerEdge servers. It is compatible with a wide range of models, including the PowerEdge R510, R710, R720, and R730. The compatibility of the 268XD Dell hard drive means that it can be easily integrated into existing systems without the need for additional hardware or software. This makes it a cost-effective solution for organizations that need to upgrade their storage capacity or replace existing hard drives.
