The Dell FK73M 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 128MB SFF Hard Drive for Server is a high-performance storage device that is designed to meet the needs of server-based applications. In this article, we will delve deeper into the technical specifications and features of the Dell FK73M hard drive, which is known for its reliability, speed, and durability. We will explain the significance of each feature and how it contributes to the overall performance of the hard drive.
Capacity and Form FactorThe Dell FK73M hard drive has a capacity of 1.2TB, which makes it ideal for servers that require high storage capacity. With 1.2TB of storage space, the hard drive can store a large amount of data, including critical business data, applications, and system files. In terms of form factor, the Dell FK73M hard drive is a small form factor (SFF) drive. This means that it has a smaller physical size than standard hard drives, which makes it suitable for servers that have limited space for storage devices.
Rotational SpeedThe Dell FK73M hard drive has a rotational speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is considered to be a high-speed hard drive. The rotational speed of a hard drive is an important factor that determines the speed at which data can be read and written to the drive. Higher RPMs result in faster data transfer rates and shorter access times, which is crucial for server applications that require fast and efficient data processing.
Interface and Data Transfer RateThe Dell FK73M hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed interface that enables fast data transfer rates between the hard drive and the server. The SAS interface supports data transfer rates of up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is significantly faster than the traditional SATA interface. The high data transfer rate of the SAS interface ensures that the hard drive can handle high-volume data transfer without any performance degradation.
Cache SizeThe Dell FK73M hard drive has a cache size of 128MB. The cache is a small amount of high-speed memory that is used to store frequently accessed data. The cache size plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance of the hard drive. A larger cache size means that more data can be stored in the cache, which results in faster data access times and improved overall performance.
Reliability and DurabilityThe Dell FK73M hard drive is designed to be reliable and durable. It is equipped with advanced features that ensure that the hard drive can withstand the rigors of server applications. The hard drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours, which means that it can operate continuously for a long time without any failure. Additionally, the hard drive has a rotational vibration tolerance of up to 12.5 rad/sec2, which means that it can operate efficiently even in environments with high levels of vibration.
Finally, the Dell FK73M hard drive is compatible with a wide range of server platforms, including Dell PowerEdge servers, which makes it a versatile storage device that can be used in various server applications. The hard drive is also compatible with several operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware, which makes it easy to integrate into existing server environments.
