The D256W Dell hard disk drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. With a capacity of 600GB and a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM, this hard drive offers fast data transfer speeds and reliable storage for demanding applications. In this article, we will explore the various features and specifications of the D256W Dell hard disk drive in detail.
Form Factor and SizeThe D256W Dell hard disk drive has a form factor of 2.5 inches, which is smaller than the standard size of 3.5 inches. However, the hard drive comes with a 3.5-inch hybrid carrier form factor that allows it to fit into standard 3.5-inch drive bays. This feature makes it easy to install the hard drive in most server configurations and storage systems.
Capacity and SpeedThe D256W Dell hard disk drive has a capacity of 600GB, which is a significant amount of storage for most enterprise-level applications. The hard drive has a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM, which is higher than the standard rotational speed of 7,200 RPM for most hard drives. The high rotational speed allows for fast access to data and improved overall performance.
SAS InterfaceThe D256W Dell hard disk drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface commonly used in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. The SAS interface provides fast data transfer rates and improved reliability compared to 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-Plug CapabilityThe D256W Dell hard disk drive has hot-plug capability, which means that the hard drive can be added or removed from a storage system while the system is running. The hot-plug capability allows for easier maintenance and upgrades, as well as reducing the downtime required for hardware changes.
Hybrid Carrier Form FactorThe D256W Dell hard disk drive comes with a hybrid carrier form factor, which allows it to fit into standard 3.5-inch drive bays. The hybrid carrier form factor includes both the 2.5-inch drive and a mounting bracket that can be easily inserted into a 3.5-inch drive bay. This feature makes it easy to install the hard drive in most server configurations and storage systems.
CompatibilityThe D256W Dell hard disk drive is designed to be compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers, specifically the 12G 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 D256W Dell hard disk drive a versatile and reliable storage solution.
PerformanceThe D256W Dell hard disk drive is designed for high performance and reliability. The hard drive has a sustained data transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/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 3.4 ms, which is a measure of how quickly the hard drive can locate and access data.
RAID SupportThe D256W Dell hard disk 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 D256W Dell hard disk drive is compatible with several RAID configurations, including RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.
