In the world of technology, hard disk drives are an essential component of any computing system. They are responsible for storing and retrieving digital information. The 400-AYKS Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512N 2.5Inch SFF Hard Disk Drive is a high-performance device designed for use in servers.
This article will explain in detail what each of these specifications means and why they matter for a server hard drive.
SpecificationsThe 400-AYKS Dell hard disk drive has the following specifications:
- Capacity: 900GB
- RPM: 15K
- Interface: SAS-12GBPS
- Sector size: 512N
- Form factor: 2.5 inches
- SFF: Yes
Each of these specifications plays a crucial role in the performance of the hard disk drive. Let's take a closer look at what each specification means.
CapacityThe capacity of a hard disk drive refers to the amount of digital information it can store. In the case of the 400-AYKS Dell hard drive, it has a capacity of 900GB. This means that it can store up to 900 gigabytes of data.
For a server, having a high-capacity hard drive is important because servers typically store large amounts of data. With a capacity of 900GB, the 400-AYKS Dell hard drive can accommodate a significant amount of data.
RPMRPM stands for revolutions per minute. It is a measure of how quickly the platters inside the hard disk drive spin. In the case of the 400-AYKS Dell hard drive, it has an RPM of 15K. This means that the platters inside the hard drive spin 15,000 times per minute.
The RPM of a hard drive is important because it affects the speed at which data can be accessed. A higher RPM means that data can be accessed more quickly. For a server, where speed is of the essence, having a hard drive with a high RPM is critical.
InterfaceThe interface of a hard disk drive refers to how it connects to a computer or server. In the case of the 400-AYKS Dell hard drive, it uses the SAS-12GBPS interface.
SAS stands for Serial Attached SCSI, which is a type of interface that is commonly used in servers. It provides high-speed data transfer rates and allows for the connection of multiple hard drives.
The 12GBPS in SAS-12GBPS refers to the data transfer rate of the interface. It means that the interface can transfer data at a rate of 12 gigabits per second.
Having a high-speed interface is important for a server because it affects the speed at which data can be transferred to and from the hard drive.
Sector sizeThe sector size of a hard disk drive refers to the size of each sector on the platters inside the drive. In the case of the 400-AYKS Dell hard drive, it has a sector size of 512N.
N here stands for native, which means that the hard drive uses 512-byte sectors. This is the standard sector size for modern hard disk drives.
Having a standard sector size is important for compatibility with other devices and software. It also affects the performance of the hard drive, as larger sector sizes can result in slower data transfer rates.
Form factorThe form factor of a hard disk drive refers to its physical size and shape. In the case of the 400-AYKS Dell hard drive, it has a form factor of 2.5 inches.
