In the world of computer hardware, a hard disk drive (HDD) is an essential component that stores and retrieves digital data. It is a non-volatile data storage device that consists of rotating magnetic disks or platters, read/write heads, and a motor to spin the disks at a high speed. The 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive is a high-performance hard drive that is designed for enterprise-level applications. In this article, we will discuss the various features and benefits of this hard drive in detail.
Capacity and SpeedThe 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive has a storage capacity of 900GB, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data. The spindle speed of this hard drive is 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is much faster than the standard 7,200 RPM found in consumer-grade hard drives. This high speed allows for faster data transfer rates and improved system performance.
Interface and ConnectivityThis hard drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol that is commonly used in enterprise-level applications. The SAS interface has a transfer rate of up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is much faster than the older SAS or SATA interfaces. This high-speed connectivity ensures that data can be transferred quickly and efficiently.
Cache MemoryThe 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive has a cache memory of 256MB. Cache memory is a type of high-speed memory that is used to temporarily store frequently accessed data. This memory is located on the hard drive itself, which allows for faster access to data that is frequently used. With a larger cache memory, the hard drive can retrieve frequently accessed data more quickly, which can improve system performance.
512N Advanced FormatThe 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive uses the 512N advanced format. This format uses 512-byte sectors, which is the standard sector size used in most hard drives. However, this format also includes additional information that allows for more efficient use of storage space. With this format, more data can be stored on the same physical space, which can improve storage efficiency and reduce costs.
Reliability and DurabilityThe 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive is designed for enterprise-level applications, which means it is built to be reliable and durable. It has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 1.6 million hours, which is an indication of how reliable the hard drive is. This hard drive also uses advanced technologies such as PowerChoice and Seagate Secure to improve reliability and security.
PowerChoice
PowerChoice is a technology used by the 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive to reduce power consumption. This technology allows the hard drive to enter a low-power state when it is not in use, which can help reduce energy costs. It also helps to reduce the heat generated by the hard drive, which can improve its lifespan.
Seagate Secure
Seagate Secure is a technology used by the 400-BBFS Dell 900GB 15K RPM 256MB SAS 12GBPS 512N Hard Disk Drive to improve security. This technology provides hardware-based encryption
