Key Specifications Capacity 3 Terabytes TBAt the heart of the HPE 638521-002 is a capacious 3TB storage capacity. This significant storage space makes it well-suited for applications and systems that demand substantial data storage capabilities. Whether used in enterprises or data centers, In description ensures ample room for diverse data types.
Rotational Speed 7200 Revolutions Per Minute RPMThe rotational speed of a hard disk drive is a critical factor influencing its performance. The HPE 638521-002 operates at 7200 RPM, indicating that the disk spins 7200 times per minute. This rotational speed contributes to faster data access and retrieval, making it suitable for scenarios where quick data transactions are essential.
Interface Serial-Attached SCSI SASThe choice of interface is crucial for seamless communication between the hard disk drive and the server. The HPE 638521-002 utilizes the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. SAS provides high-speed data transfer, improved reliability, and enhanced scalability, making it a preferred choice in enterprise environments.
Data Transfer Rate 6 Gigabits Per Second 6GBPSIn the realm of storage, data transfer rates are indicative of how quickly data can be moved between the storage device and the server. The HPE 638521-002 boasts a data transfer rate of 6 gigabits per second (6GBPS). This high-speed transfer capability ensures efficient data throughput, reducing latency and enhancing overall system performance.
Form Factor 3.5 Inch Large Form Factor LFFThe physical size of a storage device is defined by its form factor. The HPE 638521-002 adopts a 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF). This form factor is commonly employed in server environments, providing a balance between physical size and storage capacity.
Smart Carrier (SC) In TrayThe Smart Carrier (SC) design enhances the usability of the HPE 638521-002. The inclusion of a Smart Carrier in the tray facilitates easy removal of the hard disk drive. This design feature simplifies tasks and reduces downtime in server environments.
Relevance in Server EnvironmentsPerformance OptimizationThe 7200 RPM rotational speed of the HPE 638521-002 contributes to its performance optimization. In server environments where rapid data access is crucial, this high rotational speed ensures that applications and processes reliant on storage resources operate efficiently.
Storage Capacity for Diverse WorkloadsWith a generous storage capacity of 3TB, the HPE 638521-002 caters to the varying storage needs of modern server environments. It can accommodate diverse workloads, including databases, virtualization, and large-scale file storage, without compromising on performance.
Scalability and FlexibilityThe SAS interface of the HPE 638521-002 not only provides high-speed data transfer but also enhances scalability. Servers often require scalable storage solutions to adapt to evolving data demands. The SAS interface ensures that the hard disk drive can be seamlessly integrated into existing storage infrastructures, offering flexibility in deployment.
Reliability and RedundancyDual-port functionality in the HPE 638521-002 adds a layer of reliability to server storage. In the event of a port failure or the need for it, the dual-port design ensures uninterrupted data access through an alternative port. This redundancy is crucial for mission-critical applications that demand continuous availability.
Easy with Smart Carrier DesignThe inclusion of the Smart Carrier (SC) in the tray simplifies tasks in server environments. Server administrators can quickly replace or upgrade storage devices without the need for complex tools. This design feature contributes to a reduction in downtime and enhances the overall server storage.
