Product Overview
A hard drive is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information. Dell 342-5521 is a 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS 6GBPS 2.5 Inch Hot-Swap Hard Drive, which is designed for enterprise-level applications. In this article, we will discuss in detail the features, specifications, and benefits of the Dell 342-5521 hard drive.
Features and Specifications
The Dell 342-5521 hard drive has a 1.2 terabyte storage capacity, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data. It has a spindle speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is faster than the standard 7,200 RPM hard drives. The high spindle speed allows for faster data access and transfer rates.
The hard drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol used in enterprise-level applications. The SAS interface provides a data transfer rate of up to 6 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is twice the speed of the previous SAS standard.
The Dell 342-5521 hard drive has a 2.5-inch form factor, which is a smaller size compared to the standard 3.5-inch form factor. This makes it a suitable choice for applications that require high-density storage, such as blade servers and storage arrays. It also has a hot-swap capability, which means that it can be removed and replaced without shutting down the system.
The hard drive has a 64MB data buffer, which helps to improve the drive's performance by storing frequently accessed data in the buffer. It also has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating of 1.6 million hours, which indicates its reliability and durability.
Benefits of the Dell 342-5521 Hard Drive
The Dell 342-5521 hard drive is designed for use in enterprise-level applications, such as servers, storage systems, and data centers. The following are some of the benefits of using this hard drive:
