The CF73M Dell 300GB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS hard drive is a reliable and high-performance storage solution designed for use in Dell PowerEdge servers. This hard drive is built with enterprise-grade components and features, making it ideal for demanding applications that require high-speed data transfer and high reliability. In this article, we will explore the various features and specifications of this hard drive in detail.
Form Factor and SizeThe CF73M Dell hard drive has a hybrid form factor that allows it to fit in both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. This hybrid form factor makes it compatible with a wide range of server configurations and storage systems. The hard drive has a height of 1 inch, which is the standard height for most 3.5-inch hard drives.
Capacity and SpeedThe CF73M Dell hard drive has a capacity of 300GB, which is a significant amount of storage for most enterprise-level applications. The hard drive has a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, which is faster than the standard 7,200 RPM found in most consumer-level hard drives. The faster rotational speed of the hard drive allows for faster access to data and better overall performance.
SAS InterfaceThe CF73M Dell hard drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems. The SAS interface provides faster data transfer rates and better reliability than the older Parallel SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) interface used in older hard drives. The SAS interface is also designed to support multiple hard drives in a single storage system, allowing for easier management and expansion of storage capacity.
Hot Swap CapabilityThe CF73M Dell hard drive has hot swap capability, which means that the hard drive can be replaced or added to a storage system without the need to power down the system. The hot swap capability allows for easier maintenance and upgrades, as well as reducing the downtime required for hardware changes.
CompatibilityThe CF73M Dell hard drive is designed to be compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers, specifically the 14G PowerEdge server line. The hard drive is also compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, and VMware. Compatibility with a wide range of hardware and software systems makes the CF73M Dell hard drive a versatile and reliable storage solution.
PerformanceThe CF73M Dell hard drive is designed for high performance and reliability. The hard drive has a sustained data transfer rate of up to 204 MB/s, which allows for fast and efficient data transfer between the hard drive and the server. The hard drive also has an average seek time of 4.0 ms, which is a measure of how quickly the hard drive can locate and access data.
RAID SupportThe CF73M Dell hard drive supports RAID configurations, which allow for data redundancy and improved system performance. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple hard drives into a single logical unit to provide improved performance and data protection. The CF73M Dell hard drive is compatible with several RAID configurations, including RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.
Noise and Power ConsumptionThe CF73M Dell hard drive has a noise level of 31 dBA, which is relatively quiet for a high-performance hard drive. The hard drive also has a low power consumption rate of 4.9 watts when idle and 7.4 watts when active. The low power consumption rate helps to reduce energy costs and increase the overall efficiency of the storage system.
