The 400-AZXD Dell 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E 3.5Inch LFF Hard Drive is a type of hard disk drive (HDD) used for data storage. It is designed to work in server environments where high capacity storage and reliability are important.
This hard drive is specifically designed for use in servers that support the SAS interface and can be used in a variety of server applications such as file servers, storage servers, and backup servers. It can be used in a RAID array or as a standalone drive. The large storage capacity, high data transfer speeds, and hot-plug capabilities of this hard drive make it well suited for use in a server environment.
Additionally, this hard drive can be integrated into Dell's server ecosystem, which includes software and hardware management tools and support services. This can help to improve the overall performance, reliability and manageability of the server.
It's always recommended to check the server's technical documentation or consult with the manufacturer to confirm compatibility before purchasing or installing the hard drive.
Serial-Attached SCSIThe 400-AZXD Dell 12TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS 256MB 512E 3.5Inch LFF Hard Drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface to connect to the computer. SAS is a high-speed, serial data transfer interface for connecting storage devices to a computer. It is designed for use in enterprise environments and supports faster data transfer speeds compared to other interfaces such as SATA.
The "SAS-12GBPS" in the name of the hard drive refers to the version of the SAS interface used. SAS-12GBPS is the latest version of SAS interface and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gbps.
The SAS interface uses a point-to-point connection, meaning that each device is connected directly to the host controller and not shared among multiple devices. It also supports multiple hard drives to be connected to a single host controller, and it supports daisy-chaining of devices.
The SAS interface is typically used in enterprise-grade servers and storage systems, where high-performance and reliability are important. Additionally, the SAS interface allows for features such as hot-swapping, which allows hard drives to be replaced or upgraded while the system is running, which can help to reduce downtime.
It's worth mentioning that SAS interface is not backward compatible with SATA, so it's important to ensure that the server or storage system has a SAS interface before installing this hard drive.
Delivers the high ReliabilityReliability is a key consideration when it comes to hard disk drives (HDD) like the 400-AZXD Dell 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 256MB 512E 3.5Inch LFF Hard Drive. It is designed to work in server environments where high capacity storage and reliability are important.
Here are some factors that can affect the reliability of this hard drive:
- Build quality: Dell is a reputable brand known for producing high-quality products, which can help to ensure that the hard drive is built to a high standard and is less likely to fail.
- Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): This is a measure of the average time a device can be expected to function before failing. MTBF for this hard drive is not specified by Dell.
- Operating conditions: Hard drives can be sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, which can affect the reliability of the drive. It's important to ensure that the server or storage system in which the hard drive is installed is kept in a controlled environment with appropriate temperature and humidity levels.
- Usage patterns: Hard drives are more likely to fail if they are subjected to heavy use or if they are used in a RAID array. It's important to ensure that the hard drive is used in a manner that is consistent with its intended usage.
It's always recommended to check the server's technical documentation or consult with the manufacturer to confirm the reliability of the hard drive.
In general, hard drives are considered a mechanical device and have a shorter lifespan than other forms of storage like solid-state drives (SSD). Additionally, the 12TB capacity of this hard drive may make it more prone to reliability issues, since the larger the storage capacity the more complex the hard drive is and the more vulnerable it can be.
