Description
Product Specifications
The Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1800 is an enterprise-class hard drive designed for demanding applications that require high performance and reliability. It is a SAS-12GBPS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive with a capacity of 600GB and a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM. The drive is equipped with a 128MB buffer that helps to ensure smooth and consistent performance, even when dealing with large files or heavy workloads.
SAS Interface
SAS is a high-performance interface that is commonly used in enterprise storage applications. It is capable of delivering data transfer rates of up to 12 gigabits per second, which is significantly faster than SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) interfaces commonly used in consumer-grade hard drives. The SAS interface also provides greater reliability, scalability, and flexibility, which make it an ideal choice for enterprise-class applications.
Spindle Speed
The spindle speed is the rate at which the hard drive platters spin around their axis. The Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1800 has a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, which is significantly faster than the 7,200 RPM found in many consumer-grade hard drives. This high spindle speed allows the drive to deliver faster data transfer rates and reduce access times, which can improve overall system performance.
128MB Buffer
The buffer, also known as the cache, is a small amount of memory located on the hard drive that is used to store frequently accessed data. The Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1800 has a 128MB buffer, which helps to ensure smooth and consistent performance, even when dealing with large files or heavy workloads. The buffer helps to reduce access times by storing frequently accessed data, which can significantly improve overall system performance.
Reliability and Durability
The Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1800 is designed to be highly reliable and durable, making it an ideal choice for enterprise-class applications. It is equipped with a number of features that help to ensure data integrity and reduce the risk of data loss. These features include:
- Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS): RVS helps to reduce the effects of vibration on the hard drive, which can cause data errors or loss. This is particularly important in high-density storage environments where many hard drives are located in close proximity.
- Enhanced Error Correction Code (ECC): ECC helps to detect and correct data errors that may occur during the reading or writing of data. This helps to ensure data integrity and reduce the risk of data loss.
- Power Loss Protection (PLP): PLP helps to protect data in the event of a power loss by ensuring that all data is written to the hard drive before power is lost. This helps to prevent data loss and corruption that may occur during unexpected power outages.
- Self-Encrypting Drive (SED): SED helps to protect data by encrypting all data stored on the hard drive. This helps to ensure that sensitive data remains secure, even in the event of theft or loss of the hard drive.
In summary, the Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1800 is an enterprise-class hard drive that is designed to deliver high performance, reliability, and durability. It is equipped with a number of features that help to ensure data integrity and reduce the risk of data loss, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications. The SAS-12GBPS interface, 10,000 RPM spindle speed, and 128MB buffer make the Hitachi Ultrastar C10K1800 a high-performance hard drive that can help to improve overall system performance.
