In the world of information technology, storage devices are crucial components for keeping data safe and accessible. Hard disk drives (HDDs) are commonly used storage devices that store and retrieve digital information. They come in different form factors and specifications to cater to various server and storage requirements. The Dell 400-ANTE is a high-performance HDD designed for Dell PowerEdge servers, and this article will explain its features and specifications in detail.
Form Factor and CompatibilityThe Dell 400-ANTE is a 2.5-inch HDD that comes in a 3.5-inch hybrid carrier form factor. This means that it is designed to fit into a 3.5-inch drive bay and can be used as a hot-plug drive. It is compatible with the 14th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers, including the PowerEdge R740, R740xd, R640, R540, R440, R940xa, R740xd2, and C6420.
Capacity and PerformanceThe Dell 400-ANTE has a capacity of 2.4 terabytes (TB), which is a significant amount of storage space. It has a rotational speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which means it can access and retrieve data quickly. Additionally, it has a SAS-12Gbps interface that allows for fast data transfer rates between the drive and the server. This interface supports data transfer rates of up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps), making it ideal for applications that require high-speed data access.
Buffer Size and Sector SizeThe Dell 400-ANTE has a buffer size of 256 megabytes (MB), which is a sizeable buffer that helps to optimize drive performance. The buffer acts as a temporary storage space for frequently accessed data, allowing the drive to access it more quickly. Additionally, the drive uses a 512E sector size, which means that each sector on the drive has 512 bytes of storage capacity. This sector size is more efficient than the older 512-byte sector size because it reduces the overhead of error correction codes (ECCs) and increases the usable storage space on the drive.
Hybrid TrayOne of the unique features of the Dell 400-ANTE is its hybrid tray. The hybrid tray is designed to fit the 2.5-inch HDD into a 3.5-inch drive bay. The tray has a plastic frame that holds the drive in place and a metal bracket that allows the tray to be screwed into the server's drive bay. This design makes it easy to install and remove the drive from the server, which is important for hot-plug drives that need to be replaced without shutting down the server.
In Summary, the Dell 400-ANTE is a high-performance HDD designed for Dell PowerEdge servers. It has a capacity of 2.4 TB, a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, and a SAS-12Gbps interface that allows for fast data transfer rates between the drive and the server. It has a buffer size of 256 MB and uses a 512E sector size, which makes it efficient and reliable. Its hybrid tray design makes it easy to install and remove from the server, which is crucial for hot-plug drives. If you need a high-performance HDD for your Dell PowerEdge server, the Dell 400-ANTE is an excellent choice.
