The 400-BKZW Dell 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is a high-capacity hard drive that is designed for use in data center and enterprise-level storage systems. The drive has a storage capacity of 18 terabytes (TB), which allows for a large amount of data to be stored.
The drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface designed for use in data centers and other high-performance storage systems. SAS provides faster data transfer rates and improved data integrity compared to other storage interfaces like SATA.
The drive has a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM which is the standard rotation speed for high-performance hard drives. The drive also supports a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second (GB/s), which allows for fast data transfer and improved system performance.
It is important to note that Dell does not have any product with the Model 400-BKZW in its catalog and it could be a mistake or a typo. So, it is important to verify the product code and the specifications with the vendor or the Dell support team.
Backup & Restore FacilitiesThe Dell 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive can be used for backup and restore operations in a variety of ways. The large 18TB capacity allows for storing large amounts of data, making it a good option for creating backups of important data.
One way to backup data on the drive is by using a software-based backup solution such as Windows Backup, Time Machine (MacOS) or Linux backup tools like rsync or tar. These software can be scheduled to automatically backup data from the hard drive to another location, such as an external drive or cloud storage.
Another way is to use a hardware-based backup solution such as a tape library, or a disk-based backup appliance. These solutions typically provide features such as deduplication and compression, which can help to reduce the storage space required for backups.
When it comes to restoring data, it depends on the backup method used. If you are using software-based backup solution, you can restore data by running the backup software and selecting the files or folders you want to restore. For hardware-based backup solution, you can use the appliance's web interface or management software to restore data.
It's important to have a backup and restore plan in place, and test it regularly to ensure that it works properly and that the data can be restored in case of an emergency.
Reliability & Data ProtectionReliability is an important factor to consider when purchasing a hard drive, as it determines the likelihood of the drive failing and resulting in data loss. The Dell 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is designed for use in data center and enterprise-level storage systems, which typically have higher reliability requirements than consumer-grade hard drives.
This Drive uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides improved data integrity and error detection compared to other storage interfaces like SATA. SAS also supports advanced features such as dual-port connectivity, which can help to increase the reliability of the drive by allowing it to be connected to multiple controllers.
The hard drive has a high storage capacity of 18 terabytes (TB) which allows for large amount of data to be stored in a single drive, reducing the number of drives needed and increase the reliability of the storage system.
The HDD also has a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM, which is the standard rotation speed for high-performance hard drives. This provides faster data access and improved system performance, which can help to increase the overall reliability of the drive.
However, no matter how reliable the hard drive is, it is still important to regularly back up important data to ensure that it can be recovered in the event of a drive failure. Additionally, it is good practice to implement a RAID storage solution or use a cloud-based storage service for data protection.
