The interface of a hard disk drive (HDD) refers to the technology and communication standard that is used to connect the HDD to the host device, such as a computer or server. The 400-AVHB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E SFF Hard Disk uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer standard designed for use in enterprise-class storage systems.
Data transfer rate, also known as data transfer speed or bandwidth, refers to the rate at which data can be transferred to or from the HDD. The data transfer rate for the 400-AVHB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E SFF Hard Disk is 12 Gbps, which is the maximum data transfer rate for SAS interface. This high data transfer rate allows for fast access to stored data and can help to improve the performance of the system.
It is important to note that the interface and data transfer rate are just one aspect of the hard drive performance, and other factors such as capacity, cache, and spindle speed also play a role in determining the performance of the hard drive.
Cache and Spindle SpeedCache refers to a small amount of high-speed memory that is built into a hard disk drive (HDD) to temporarily store frequently accessed data. This allows for faster access to the data since it can be retrieved from the cache rather than from the slower spinning disk. The 400-AVHB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E SFF Hard Disk comes with 256MB of cache memory.
Spindle speed refers to the rotational speed of the disk platters inside the HDD. It is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) and is an important factor in determining the access time of the drive, which is the time it takes to access data on the drive. The 400-AVHB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E SFF Hard Disk has a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM which is considered as high-performance speed and allow for faster access to the stored data.
Form Factor and DimensionsThe form factor of a hard disk drive (HDD) refers to its physical layout and design, including its size, shape, and configuration. The 400-AVHB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E SFF Hard Disk has a Small Form Factor (SFF) design. This form factor is smaller and more compact than other form factors, such as 3.5-inch drives, making them ideal for use in space-constrained environments, such as servers and storage arrays.
The dimensions of the 400-AVHB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E SFF Hard Disk are 69.85mm x 100.45mm x 15.00mm (H x W x D) which is considered as small and compact, it will fit into most of the standard bays.
It's important to consider form factor and dimensions when selecting a hard drive for a particular application, as they can affect the physical installation and handling of the drive, as well as the compatibility with other components in the system. The small form factor of this hard drive makes it a great option for use in systems where space is at a premium, such as in data centers, enterprise storage systems, and high-performance computing environments.
