The Dell T873K is a 600GB, 15,000 RPM, 16MB buffer SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive with a 6Gbps (gigabits per second) data transfer rate. It is designed to be used in Dell Powervault storage systems that require high-performance, reliable storage solutions. In this article, we will discuss the various features and benefits of the Dell T873K hard drive, and how it can help improve your storage infrastructure.
Capacity and SpeedThe Dell T873K hard drive has a capacity of 600GB, which is sufficient for storing a large amount of data, including media files, documents, and other digital assets. With a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, this hard drive is designed to provide high-performance storage, which is particularly useful in applications that require fast read/write speeds, such as databases and virtualized environments. In addition, the 16MB buffer on this hard drive helps to improve the speed and efficiency of data transfer.
SAS InterfaceThe Dell T873K hard drive uses the SAS interface, which is a point-to-point serial interface that provides high-speed data transfer between the hard drive and the host system. SAS offers several advantages over traditional interfaces such as SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment), including faster data transfer rates, higher reliability, and better performance in multi-user environments. The SAS interface also supports hot-swapping, which means that you can replace a failed hard drive without shutting down the entire system.
Tray DesignThe Dell T873K hard drive is designed to fit into a tray, which makes it easy to install and remove from the storage system. The tray is made from high-quality materials, and it is designed to provide a secure and stable mounting platform for the hard drive. The tray also helps to protect the hard drive from dust, dirt, and other contaminants, which can cause damage to the drive and reduce its performance over time.
CompatibilityThe Dell T873K hard drive is compatible with a wide range of Dell Powervault storage systems, including the MD3000, MD3000i, MD3200, MD3200i, MD3600, MD3600f, MD3600i, and MD3620i. This means that you can use this hard drive in your existing Dell storage infrastructure, without the need for any additional hardware or software.
ReliabilityThe Dell T873K hard drive is designed to be highly reliable, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.6 million hours. This means that the hard drive is designed to operate continuously for long periods without any issues, and it is less likely to fail than other hard drives with a lower MTBF rating. In addition, the SAS interface and tray design help to improve the overall reliability of the hard drive, by providing a more stable and secure connection to the storage system.
In Summary, the Dell T873K 600GB 15K RPM 16MB buffer SAS 6Gbps hard drive is an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that require high-performance, reliable storage solutions. With its fast read/write speeds, SAS interface, tray design, and compatibility with a wide range of Dell Powervault storage systems, this hard drive is well-suited for a variety of applications, including databases, virtualized environments, and media storage. Additionally, the high MTBF rating of this hard drive makes it a reliable choice for businesses that require continuous uptime and data availability.
