The Dell 400-AEXW is a 300GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBPS Hot-plug hard drive. It is designed for use in Dell servers and storage arrays that support 2.5-inch SAS drives. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of this hard drive and explain its benefits for enterprise customers.
Capacity and SpeedThe Dell 400-AEXW hard drive has a storage capacity of 300GB, which is suitable for small to medium-sized enterprise applications. Its 10,000 RPM rotational speed ensures that data can be accessed quickly and efficiently, making it ideal for applications that require high performance, such as databases, virtualization, and online transaction processing.
SAS InterfaceThe Dell 400-AEXW hard drive uses a SAS interface, which stands for Serial Attached SCSI. SAS is a high-speed data transfer technology that is commonly used in enterprise storage environments. It provides a number of advantages over other storage interfaces, such as SATA and SCSI, including higher performance, better scalability, and improved reliability.
SAS also supports dual-port connectivity, which enables redundant paths to the drive for increased availability and fault tolerance. This means that if one port fails, the other port can take over without interruption to the system.
Hot-plug CapabilityThe Dell 400-AEXW hard drive is hot-pluggable, which means that it can be inserted or removed from a server or storage array while it is running. This feature enables IT administrators to replace or upgrade hard drives without shutting down the system, which reduces downtime and improves system availability.
Hot-plug capability also allows for easier maintenance and upgrades, as drives can be replaced one at a time without affecting the rest of the system. This is particularly important in enterprise environments, where downtime can have significant financial and operational consequences.
CompatibilityThe Dell 400-AEXW hard drive is designed for use in Dell servers and storage arrays that support 2.5-inch SAS drives. It is compatible with a wide range of Dell PowerEdge servers, including the R320, R420, R520, R620, R720, and R820. It is also compatible with Dell PowerVault storage arrays, such as the MD3200, MD3200i, and MD3220i.
Advanced FeaturesThe Dell 400-AEXW hard drive includes a number of advanced features that make it an ideal choice for enterprise applications. These include:
- S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): This feature enables the hard drive to monitor its own health and performance and report any issues to the system. This allows IT administrators to proactively identify and address potential problems before they cause downtime or data loss.
- PowerChoice Technology: This feature enables the hard drive to automatically adjust its power consumption based on usage patterns. This can result in significant energy savings, particularly in large-scale data center environments.
- Secure Erase: This feature enables the hard drive to be securely erased, ensuring that all data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. This is important for data security and compliance with regulatory requirements.
In Summary, the Dell 400-AEXW 300GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBPS Hot-plug Hard Drive is an ideal choice for enterprise applications that require high performance, reliability, and scalability. Its SAS interface, hot-plug capability, and advanced features make it a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of enterprise storage needs. If you are looking for a hard drive that can deliver high performance, reliability, and availability, the Dell 400-AEXW is an excellent choice.
