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. It offers a storage capacity of 10TB, fast data transfer speeds, and advanced features such as a 256MB buffer and hot-plug capability. The drive is designed for near line storage and is reliable, with features such as advanced error correction and rotational vibration protection. It is also compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and storage systems, and comes with a three-year limited warranty. Overall, the Dell VM294 is a good choice for data center environments where data storage requirements are high, and reliability and availability are critical.

About Refurbished Products
The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives have become increasingly popular for their increasing use in high-end workstations and servers. These drives are employed in consumer desktops and modern servers for their speed and reliability. Enterprises have made the SAS hard drives their de-facto standard. Now, the 12Gbps speed throws the usefulness of these drives up a notch.
Most professional hosting providers now use SAS 12Gbps hard drives for data production. These drives have proven useful in high input/output operations and critical website functions. Users trust these drives because there is no risk of data loss, corruption, or downtime.
Faster Throughput
SAS 12Gbps drives read, write, and process data within split seconds. The latest 12Gbps disks use the latest RAID hardware technology to offer faster data transfer and recovery rates. They are perfect for sequential data, high workloads, and random IOPS alike.
This function allows them to be best suited for servers that have 100 percent duty cycles. They do not only work with desktops and PCs, but they can read/write data 24/7.
Higher Performance
SAS 12Gbps HDDs have received the utmost attention in the market as a result of their high performance. These performance benefits allow it to be useful for a wide variety of applications. For instance, a SAS 12Gbps connection can support up to four wide lanes per connection.
Connecting JBOD with these SAS drives can support up to 1200MB/s. These high-performance drives do not only help handle large workloads; they also offer cost-effective expansion to an already robust system.
Also, each 12Gbps high-performance SAS drive can offer users a rotational speed of up to 15000 rpm.
They provide a great bandwidth enough to perform efficiently. The robust performance of SAS 12Gbps drives clearly a worthy investment for improved performance of servers and desktops. They provide very large amounts of storage options and are a cost-effective choice for users.
Utmost Flexibility
Flexibility is one of the best benefits of SAS 12Gbps drives. These drives have configured flexibility, which allows them to work perfectly with several devices without modification or changes. Many of them feature a Universal Serial controller for seamless system support.
SAS 12Gbps hard drives can also be partitioned into a storage pool and assigned to servers for work-intensive applications. They are a perfect fit for server systems, including reservation systems, medical imaging, and more!
Only this range of SAS hard drives can provide users with the best worlds of flexibility. This way, allows them to support use with other drives.
Increased Availability
12Gbps SAS-based storage systems have the benefit of dual-port capability. This allows them to provide a redundant path to the drives in case of controller failover. These drives also operate on separate point-to-point connections. That way, it is rare for drive connection loss to affect them.
SAS 12Gbps HDDs are built to handle the rigours of heavy workloads and enterprise use. They also safeguard data integrity, thanks to their ability to comprehensively verify data and correct errors.Warranty
