Dell is a renowned brand that offers various types of computer hardware and accessories, including hard drives. The Dell 400-APEU is an 8TB internal hard drive designed for PowerEdge servers. It comes with advanced features such as 7.2K RPM speed, SATA-6GBPS interface, 512e sector technology, and hot-plug capabilities. This article will discuss the features, benefits, and technical specifications of the Dell 400-APEU hard drive.
Capacity and Form FactorThe Dell 400-APEU hard drive has a capacity of 8TB, making it ideal for storing large volumes of data. It is designed with a 3.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for most desktop computers and servers. The 3.5-inch form factor offers a larger surface area for data storage, which means more data can be stored in less physical space. This is particularly important for server applications, where space is often a constraint.
Interface and SpeedThe Dell 400-APEU hard drive uses the SATA-6GBPS interface, which provides a fast data transfer rate of up to 6Gbps. This interface is the latest in SATA technology, and it offers faster data transfer rates compared to earlier versions. The SATA-6GBPS interface also provides greater compatibility with modern server platforms, making it a versatile solution for different types of servers.
The hard drive has a rotational speed of 7.2K RPM, which means it spins at a rate of 7,200 revolutions per minute. This high speed enables the hard drive to read and write data quickly, which is essential for server applications that require high-speed data access. The 7.2K RPM speed also makes the hard drive ideal for applications that require large amounts of data storage and fast data transfer rates.
Sector TechnologyThe Dell 400-APEU hard drive uses 512e sector technology, which is a type of advanced formatting that improves the hard drive's performance and capacity. The 512e sector technology uses larger physical sectors to improve the hard drive's performance, while still presenting the logical sector size of 512 bytes to the operating system. This means that the hard drive can store more data in the same physical space, leading to increased capacity.
Hot-Plug CapabilitiesThe Dell 400-APEU hard drive has hot-plug capabilities, which means it can be removed or inserted into a running server without the need for rebooting. This feature is particularly important for server applications that require high availability and uptime. The hot-plug capability enables system administrators to replace a faulty hard drive quickly without interrupting the server's operations. This reduces the downtime of the server, which is critical for applications that require continuous operations.
CompatibilityThe Dell 400-APEU hard drive is designed for use with PowerEdge servers. It is compatible with a wide range of PowerEdge server models, including the 13th and 14th generation servers. The hard drive is also compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
BenefitsThe Dell 400-APEU hard drive offers numerous benefits, including high performance, large capacity, and hot-plug capabilities. It provides a reliable and efficient storage solution for PowerEdge servers, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require high-speed data access, large storage capacity, and continuous operations.
The high-speed data transfer rate and 7.2K RPM rotational speed of the hard drive enable fast data access, which is essential for server applications that require quick response times. The large capacity of the hard drive makes it ideal for storing large volumes of data, which is essential for businesses that deal with large amounts of data.
