The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface is a high-speed data storage interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems. It is designed to connect storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives to a host computer. SAS uses a point-to-point architecture, which allows for faster data transfer rates and more efficient data transfer compared to traditional parallel SCSI interfaces.
Data transfer rate refers to the speed at which data can be transferred between storage devices and a host computer. The data transfer rate for SAS-compatible drives is usually measured in gigabytes per second (GB/s). The Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS-12GBPS With Tray has a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which means that it can transfer data at a rate of up to 12 gigabytes per second. This high data transfer rate allows for faster access to stored data and improved performance.
SAS interface is a standard for connecting storage devices to a host computer, it is typically used in enterprise-level storage systems and servers, SAS interface is faster, more reliable, and more efficient than SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) which is commonly found in consumer-level storage devices.
SAS interface supports different SAS Protocols, like SCSI and SAS, SAS interface connects devices in a point-to-point configuration, allowing for faster data transfer rates and more efficient data transfer compared to traditional parallel SCSI interfaces. SAS interface also has a distance limitation, SAS cables can run up to 6 meters, and SAS expansion options are available.
Reliability and DurabilityReliability refers to the ability of a storage device to perform consistently and without failure over a period of time. Durability refers to the ability of a storage device to withstand physical wear and tear, as well as environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
The Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS-12GBPS With Tray is designed to provide high reliability and durability. The device has a high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating, indicating that it is less likely to experience failure over time.
It also has a low non-recoverable read errors rate, which means that data can be read from the device with a high degree of accuracy. Additionally, the device uses Error Correction Code (ECC) to detect and correct errors in data, further improving data integrity.
The device also supports RAID, which allows for data to be spread across multiple drives, providing increased fault tolerance and protection against data loss in case of drive failure.
Power loss protection is also present in form of capacitor that help to flush data from memory to disk in case of power failure, which helps to protect data integrity.
The device is designed to operate within a specific temperature range and can withstand vibrations and shocks, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments. It also meets various environmental compliance standards, ensuring that it is safe for use in various settings.
Service and support options are also available, ensuring that any issues with the device can be quickly and efficiently resolved.
Compatibility and Form FactorCompatibility refers to the ability of a storage device to work seamlessly with other hardware and software components in a system. The Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS-12GBPS With Tray is designed to be compatible with a wide range of servers and operating systems. It has a SAS interface and supports SAS protocols, making it compatible with a variety of server and storage systems that also use SAS.
Form factor refers to the physical dimensions and layout of a storage device. The Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS-12GBPS With Tray has a 3.5-inch form factor which is the standard size for most internal hard drives. This form factor is compatible with most servers and storage systems that have 3.5-inch drive bays.
The device also has a drive tray, allowing for easy installation and replacement of the drive. It also supports hot-swapping, meaning that the drive can be replaced without needing to shut down the server or storage system.
Additionally, the device is backward and forward compatible, which means that it can work with older and newer hardware and software versions respectively. It is also compatible with various software and firmware versions, ensuring seamless integration with the system.
