Product Overview Of 10TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS Near Line 256MB
Dell VM294 is a 10TB hard drive designed for use in servers and storage systems. It is a high-capacity drive that uses the SAS interface, providing fast data transfer speeds and reliable performance. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of the Dell VM294 hard drive, and explain what makes it a good choice for data center environments.
Capacity and Speed
The Dell VM294 hard drive offers a storage capacity of 10TB, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data. This makes it a good choice for data center environments where data storage requirements are high. The drive uses a 7.2K RPM motor, which provides a good balance between performance and energy efficiency. The SAS interface provides fast data transfer speeds of up to 12Gbps, which is faster than most SATA drives.
Buffer and Hot-plug Capability
The Dell VM294 hard drive is equipped with a 256MB buffer, which helps to improve data transfer speeds and reduce latency. The buffer is a small amount of memory that is used to store data that is waiting to be written to the drive. This helps to reduce the amount of time it takes for data to be written to the drive, which improves performance.
The hard drive is also hot-pluggable, which means it can be added or removed from a system while it is still running. This is a useful feature for data center environments where downtime needs to be minimized. Hot-plugging allows hard drives to be replaced or added without the need to shut down the system, which reduces downtime and improves system availability.
Near Line and Reliability
The Dell VM294 hard drive is designed for near line storage, which means it is suitable for storing data that is accessed less frequently than primary data. Near line storage is used for backup, archiving, and data retention purposes. The drive is not designed for high-performance applications that require frequent access to data.
The drive is also designed for reliability, with features such as advanced error correction and rotational vibration protection. These features help to ensure that data is stored and retrieved correctly, even in environments where there is a high level of vibration or other sources of interference.
Compatibility and Warranty
The Dell VM294 hard drive is compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and storage systems. It is also compatible with other systems that support the SAS interface. The drive comes with a three-year limited warranty, which provides protection against defects in materials and workmanship.
In summary, he Dell VM294 hard drive is a high-capacity hard drive designed for use in data center environments.
