Product Specifications
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N SFF Hard Disk Drive is a high-performance storage device designed for use in servers and data centers. This hard drive has a small form factor (SFF) and a storage capacity of 900GB. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features and specifications of the 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive.
Capacity and Speed
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive has a storage capacity of 900GB, which makes it suitable for storing large amounts of data. The hard drive has a spindle speed of 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which makes it one of the fastest hard drives available on the market. The high spindle speed allows for faster data access and transfer rates.
SAS Interface
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface that allows for faster data transfer rates than traditional SATA interfaces. The SAS interface also supports multiple devices on a single cable, which simplifies cable management in a server or data center environment.
12Gbps Data Transfer Rate
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive has a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is twice as fast as the previous generation of SAS interfaces. This high data transfer rate allows for faster data access and transfer rates, which can improve the performance of servers and data centers.
256MB Cache
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive has a 256MB cache, which is used to temporarily store frequently accessed data. This cache improves the performance of the hard drive by reducing the amount of time it takes to access frequently accessed data. The cache is also used to store write operations, which improves the overall performance of the hard drive.
512N Format
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive uses a 512N format, which means that the hard drive uses 512-byte sectors for both read and write operations. This format is more efficient than the previous 512E format, which used 4KB sectors for write operations. The 512N format allows for faster data transfer rates and improved performance.
Small Form Factor (SFF)
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive has a small form factor (SFF), which means that it has a smaller physical size than traditional 3.5-inch hard drives. This smaller size allows for more efficient use of space in a server or data center environment. The smaller size also reduces the weight of the hard drive, which can be beneficial in environments where weight is a concern.
Compatibility
The 400-BBEX Dell 900GB hard drive is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage systems. It is compatible with Dell PowerEdge R630, R730, R730XD, T630, and other Dell PowerEdge servers. It is also compatible with Dell PowerVault MD1220, MD1420, and other Dell PowerVault storage systems. The hard drive is also compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
In Summary, the 400-BBEX Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N SFF Hard Disk Drive is a high-performance storage device that is designed for use in servers and data centers. It has a storage capacity of 900GB, a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, and a data transfer rate of 12Gbps. The hard drive uses a SAS interface, a 256MB cache, and a 512N

The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives have become increasingly popular for their increasing use in high-end workstations and servers. These drives are employed in consumer desktops and modern servers for their speed and reliability. Enterprises have made the SAS hard drives their de-facto standard. Now, the 12Gbps speed throws the usefulness of these drives up a notch.
Most professional hosting providers now use SAS 12Gbps hard drives for data production. These drives have proven useful in high input/output operations and critical website functions. Users trust these drives because there is no risk of data loss, corruption, or downtime.
Faster Throughput
SAS 12Gbps drives read, write, and process data within split seconds. The latest 12Gbps disks use the latest RAID hardware technology to offer faster data transfer and recovery rates. They are perfect for sequential data, high workloads, and random IOPS alike.
This function allows them to be best suited for servers that have 100 percent duty cycles. They do not only work with desktops and PCs, but they can read/write data 24/7.
Higher Performance
SAS 12Gbps HDDs have received the utmost attention in the market as a result of their high performance. These performance benefits allow it to be useful for a wide variety of applications. For instance, a SAS 12Gbps connection can support up to four wide lanes per connection.
Connecting JBOD with these SAS drives can support up to 1200MB/s. These high-performance drives do not only help handle large workloads; they also offer cost-effective expansion to an already robust system.
Also, each 12Gbps high-performance SAS drive can offer users a rotational speed of up to 15000 rpm.
They provide a great bandwidth enough to perform efficiently. The robust performance of SAS 12Gbps drives clearly a worthy investment for improved performance of servers and desktops. They provide very large amounts of storage options and are a cost-effective choice for users.
Utmost Flexibility
Flexibility is one of the best benefits of SAS 12Gbps drives. These drives have configured flexibility, which allows them to work perfectly with several devices without modification or changes. Many of them feature a Universal Serial controller for seamless system support.
SAS 12Gbps hard drives can also be partitioned into a storage pool and assigned to servers for work-intensive applications. They are a perfect fit for server systems, including reservation systems, medical imaging, and more!
Only this range of SAS hard drives can provide users with the best worlds of flexibility. This way, allows them to support use with other drives.
Increased Availability
12Gbps SAS-based storage systems have the benefit of dual-port capability. This allows them to provide a redundant path to the drives in case of controller failover. These drives also operate on separate point-to-point connections. That way, it is rare for drive connection loss to affect them.
SAS 12Gbps HDDs are built to handle the rigours of heavy workloads and enterprise use. They also safeguard data integrity, thanks to their ability to comprehensively verify data and correct errors.Warranty
