The Dell 400-BKZQ 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, 400-BKZM, 400-BKZN, 400-BKZO and 400-BKZP 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 drive 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 main difference between this and the other drives that I mentioned earlier is that it is specifically designed and tested for use in EMC storage systems, and may have specific features or optimizations for use in these systems.
The Dell 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, 400-BKZM, 400-BKZN, 400-BKZO and 400-BKZP. The only difference between these drives would be the part number and the compatibility with EMC storage systems.
Device CompatibilityThe Dell 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, 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 storage systems like PowerEdge, PowerVault, and SC Series.
This 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. It is also recommended to check with Dell for any additional compatibility and firmware requirements that may apply.
Backup & Restore FacilitiesTo perform a backup and restore on a Dell 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS hard drive, you can use a variety of backup software options such as Dell's own software, or third-party software like Veeam, Acronis, or Symantec Backup Exec. The specific steps will depend on the software you choose, but generally, the process involves creating a backup of the data on the hard drive, and then restoring the data to the hard drive from the backup.
Here's a general overview of the process:
- Install and configure the backup software on your system.
- Connect the Dell 18TB SAS 12GBPS hard drive to your system.
- Create a new backup job in the software and select the hard drive as the source of the backup.
- Choose the backup type (full, incremental, differential) and schedule the backup to run at a convenient time.
- Verify that the backup has completed successfully.
- To restore data, choose the restore option in the software, select the backup you want to restore from, and specify the location where you want to restore the data.
Please note that it is always a good idea to verify the integrity of the backup and also to have multiple copies of the backup stored in different locations to protect against data loss. Additionally, it is advisable to use RAID technology to protect your data from disk failure.
