Description
More Information
The Dell 400-BKZN EMC 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity hard drive designed for use in enterprise-level storage systems and servers. This drive is similar to the Dell 400-BKZK and 400-BKZM that I mentioned earlier, but with some slight differences.
The drive has a capacity of 18TB, which allows for large amounts of data to be stored, while the SAS interface and 7200 RPM speed provide fast data transfer speeds and high performance. The 12 Gbps SAS interface allows for fast communication between the hard drive and the host server, allowing for quick data access and retrieval.
This Storage specifically is manufactured for EMC (Dell EMC) storage systems. It is fully compatible with EMC storage systems and is tested for optimal performance in EMC environment.
The Dell Item 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is a high-performance and reliable option for enterprise storage and servers that require large amounts of storage and high performance, similar to the 400-BKZK and 400-BKZM. The only difference between these drives would be the part number and the compatibility with EMC storage systems.
Exceptional Compatibility
The Dell EMC 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS hard drive is compatible with servers and storage systems that support SAS 12 Gbps interfaces and have a SAS backplane or controller. It is recommended that you check with your server or storage system vendor, specifically Dell EMC, for specific compatibility information, as well as the firmware version of your SAS controller.
It is also important to ensure that the drive is supported by your RAID controller as well as the RAID level you are using.
This drive is designed for use in enterprise and data center environments, and may be compatible with Dell EMC storage systems like Unity, VMAX, and PowerVault.
This Item is recommended to check the system documentation and ensure that the drive is supported by your RAID controller as well as the RAID level you are using.
It’s also worth noting that the 18TB capacity of this drive may not be suitable for systems with limited hard drive bays or those with high-performance workloads.
High Performance
The Dell EMC 18TB SAS 12GBPS hard drive is designed to provide high performance in enterprise-level storage systems.
The HDD uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-performance data transfer standard that is commonly used in enterprise storage systems. The drive also supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is a fast data transfer rate that enables the drive to quickly transfer large amounts of data. This allows for faster data access, and improved overall system performance.
The drive has a large capacity of 18TB, which provides ample storage space for large amounts of data. The 7.2K RPM spindle speed provides a balance of performance and energy efficiency. Additionally, the drive has a large buffer size which allows for faster data access and improved overall system performance.
The drive is designed for 24x7x365 operation, and it is built to withstand high workloads and provide a high level of reliability. Additionally, it features advanced error correction, and it is designed to recover from errors without compromising data integrity.
In summary, the Dell EMC 18TB SAS 12GBPS hard drive is a high-performance and high-capacity storage solution that is well-suited for use in enterprise-level storage systems. The drive’s fast data transfer rate, large storage capacity, high reliability, and advanced error correction make it a suitable option for environments where high performance and data integrity are critical.
