The 400-ASMS Dell 2TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS 12GBPS 512N 2.5inch In 3.5inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor Hot Plug Hard Drive with Hybrid Tray for 14G Poweredge Server is a high-capacity, high-performance storage device designed specifically for the Dell Poweredge Server. In this article, we will explain in detail what each of the technical terms in the product name means and how they contribute to the overall performance of the hard drive.
A Hard DriveA hard drive is a device that is used to store data in a computer system. It is a non-volatile storage device, which means that the data stored on it is not lost when the power is turned off. A hard drive consists of one or more disks, also known as platters, which are coated with a magnetic material. Data is written to and read from these disks using a read/write head, which is mounted on an arm that moves back and forth across the surface of the disk.
SASSAS stands for Serial Attached SCSI. It is a type of interface used to connect storage devices, such as hard drives, to a computer system. SAS is designed to provide high-speed data transfer rates and is commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems.
12Gbps12Gbps refers to the data transfer rate of the SAS interface. It means that data can be transferred between the hard drive and the computer system at a rate of up to 12 Gigabits per second. This high data transfer rate allows for fast access to data stored on the hard drive.
512N512N is a type of sector size used by the hard drive. A sector is a unit of storage on a hard drive, and the sector size refers to the amount of data that can be stored in each sector. The 512N sector size means that each sector can store 512 bytes of data.
2.5inch In 3.5inch Hybrid Carrier Form FactorThe form factor of a hard drive refers to its physical size and shape. The 2.5inch In 3.5inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor means that the hard drive is designed to fit in a 3.5-inch drive bay, which is a standard size for server chassis. However, the hard drive itself is a 2.5-inch form factor, which is a smaller size typically used in laptops and other mobile devices. The hybrid carrier allows the smaller hard drive to fit into the larger drive bay, making it compatible with the server.
7.2K RPMRPM stands for revolutions per minute and refers to the speed at which the hard drive's platters spin. The faster the platters spin, the faster data can be read from and written to the hard drive. 7.2K RPM means that the platters spin at a speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute, which is a standard speed for enterprise-level hard drives.
Near Line SASNear Line SAS is a type of SAS interface that is optimized for use with hard drives that are designed for near-line storage. Near-line storage refers to storage devices that are not used for immediate access to data but are instead used for storing large amounts of data that may be accessed less frequently. Near Line SAS provides a balance between the speed and reliability of SAS and the cost-effectiveness of SATA, making it a popular choice for near-line storage applications.
A Hybrid TrayA Hybrid Tray is a type of drive carrier that allows a smaller hard drive to be mounted in a larger drive bay. The Hybrid Tray is designed to provide a secure and stable mounting platform for the smaller hard drive and
