In the world of data storage, the Dell 342-1818 2TB SAS 6Gbps hard drive is a popular choice for businesses and organizations that require high-speed, reliable data storage. This hard drive is designed to be used in hot swap drive bays, which means that it can be easily removed and replaced while the server is still running. In this article, we will delve deeper into the technical specifications and features of the Dell 342-1818 hard drive.
Capacity and SpeedThe Dell 342-1818 hard drive has a capacity of 2 terabytes (TB), which means it can store a large amount of data. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that need to store and access large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. In addition to its large capacity, the hard drive also has a speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). This means that it can read and write data quickly, which is essential for high-performance computing applications.
Interface and CompatibilityThe Dell 342-1818 hard drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed interface designed for data storage. The SAS interface is faster and more reliable than the older Parallel SCSI interface, making it an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that require high-speed data transfer. The hard drive is also compatible with servers that have a 3.5-inch hot swap drive bay, which is a common feature in many server systems.
Reliability and DurabilityOne of the most critical aspects of any hard drive is its reliability and durability. The Dell 342-1818 hard drive is designed to be highly reliable and durable, with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours. This means that the hard drive is expected to last for a long time without failing, even under heavy use. The hard drive also has a robust construction, which helps to protect it from physical damage.
Hot Swap CompatibilityAs mentioned earlier, the Dell 342-1818 hard drive is designed to be used in hot swap drive bays. Hot swapping is a feature that allows a hard drive to be removed and replaced while the server is still running. This is useful for businesses and organizations that need to replace a hard drive quickly without shutting down the server. The hot swap feature is also essential for businesses that require high availability, as it minimizes the amount of downtime required for maintenance.
Compatibility with RAID ArraysThe Dell 342-1818 hard drive is compatible with RAID arrays, which are a common feature in many server systems. RAID arrays are used to provide redundancy and data protection, ensuring that data is not lost in the event of a hard drive failure. The Dell 342-1818 hard drive is compatible with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, which are the most commonly used RAID levels in server systems.
Power Consumption and Noise Level
The Dell 342-1818 hard drive has a relatively low power consumption, with an average power consumption of 11.9 watts during operation. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that need to keep their power consumption low. The hard drive also has a low noise level, with an operating noise level of 36 decibels. This makes it a good choice for businesses and organizations that require quiet operation.
In Summary, the Dell 342-1818 2TB SAS 6Gbps hard drive is an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that require high-speed, reliable data storage. With its large capacity, fast speed, and hot swap compatibility, this hard drive is ideal for high-performance computing applications.
