The Hitachi HGST 450GB Hard Drive is a high-performance hard disk drive (HDD) designed for enterprise-level storage applications. The drive is part of the Ultrastar family, which is known for its reliability and durability. The specific model number for this hard drive is 0B29371. In this article, we will explore the key features and specifications of this drive, as well as its benefits and potential use cases.
Capacity and Form FactorThe Hitachi HGST 450GB Hard Drive has a total storage capacity of 450GB, which is suitable for small to medium-sized data centers. The drive utilizes the SAS 12Gbps interface, which provides a high level of data transfer speed and reliability. The drive also has a rotational speed of 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is significantly faster than most consumer-grade hard drives. This makes it ideal for applications that require fast read/write speeds, such as databases and virtualization.
The drive has a form factor of 2.5 inches, which is a standard size for enterprise-level hard drives. This small form factor allows for high-density storage, as multiple drives can be installed in a single server or storage array.
Data Transfer RateThe Hitachi HGST 450GB Hard Drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 12Gbps, which is the fastest speed currently available for SAS interfaces. This high-speed interface allows for faster data transfer rates between the hard drive and other devices in the storage infrastructure. The drive also has a 128MB buffer size, which helps to improve read/write performance.
Reliability and DurabilityThe Hitachi HGST 450GB Hard Drive is designed for enterprise-level use, which means that it has a high level of reliability and durability. The drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours, which is significantly higher than most consumer-grade hard drives. This means that the drive is less likely to fail, even under heavy use.
The drive also features a dual-stage actuator, which improves positional accuracy by reducing the effects of vibration. This helps to ensure that the read/write heads are correctly aligned with the data tracks, which improves performance and reliability.
CompatibilityThe Hitachi HGST 450GB Hard Drive is compatible with a wide range of storage devices and systems, including servers, storage arrays, and workstations. The drive uses the SAS 12Gbps interface, which is a standard interface for enterprise-level storage devices. The drive is also hot-swappable, which means that it can be replaced without powering down the system.
