The HP 506928-B21 is a storage enclosure designed to hold hard drives within a server or storage system. Specifically, it's a 2U (2-unit) form factor enclosure with the capacity to house up to 12 Large Form Factor (LFF) hard drives, providing substantial storage capabilities within a compact space.
Form Factor and Compatibility- 2U Form Factor: The '2U' designation refers to the height of the enclosure in rack units. It's a compact size that can fit into standard server racks efficiently.
- Large Form Factor (LFF): This indicates the size compatibility of the hard drives the enclosure can accommodate. Large Form Factor drives are physically larger and can typically hold more storage capacity compared to Small Form Factor (SFF) drives.
- 12HDD Bay: The enclosure offers space for up to 12 hard disk drives (HDDs). This capacity allows for substantial storage within a single enclosure, suitable for data-intensive applications and storage needs.
- Scalability: The ability to house multiple hard drives within a single enclosure allows for easy expansion of storage capacity as needed.
Purpose and Use Cases
The HP 506928-B21 Hard Drive Cage serves several purposes and finds application in various scenarios:
- Server Storage Expansion: It allows servers to accommodate additional storage drives, facilitating increased data storage capacity.
- Data Centers: Suitable for use in data centers where efficient storage solutions are required for managing large volumes of data.
- Enterprise Storage Systems: Ideal for enterprise-level storage solutions, supporting the storage needs of businesses and organizations.
