SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and data transfer are important considerations for data center hard drives, as they determine the speed and reliability of data transfer between the drive and the server or storage array.
The HPE 793701-B21 SAS drive offers high-performance SAS interface and data transfer for data center applications:
- SAS Interface: The drive connects to the server or storage array using SAS interface, which supports faster data transfer rates and more reliable connections compared to other interfaces such as SATA. SAS is a widely used interface in data center environments.
- Data Transfer Rate: The drive supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gb/s, which is faster than SATA interfaces. This allows for faster data access and transfer speeds, which is beneficial for data center applications such as backup, archiving, and storage for big data analytics.
- Advanced Format 4Kn: The drive is designed to use 4Kn (4 kilobyte-per-sector) advanced format which is designed to increase storage density and reduce the amount of disk space consumed by file system overhead.
- Multi-path Support: The drive supports multi-path I/O, which allows for multiple connections to the drive at the same time. This can help to increase the availability of data and improve performance in large and complex data center environments.
Form factor and design are important considerations for data center hard drives, as they determine the physical size and layout of the drive, and how easily it can be integrated into existing data center infrastructure.
The HPE 793701-B21 SAS drive features a Large Form Factor (LFF) design, which is well-suited for data center environments:
- LFF Design: The drive has a LFF design, which is larger than the small form factor (SFF) drives. LFF drives are typically used in data center environments, as they offer higher storage capacity and better performance than SFF drives.
- Physical Size: The drive has a standard 3.5-inch form factor, which is the industry standard for data center hard drives. This makes it compatible with a wide range of server and storage arrays that accept 3.5-inch drives.
- Hot-Swappable: The drive is hot-swappable, which means it can be replaced or upgraded without having to shut down the server or storage array. This can help to minimize downtime and ensure that data is always available.
- Ease of installation: The drive is designed for easy installation and integration into existing data center environments. The drive can be easily plugged into the server or storage array and configured with minimal setup required.
Reliability and durability are crucial factors for data center hard drives, as they determine the longevity and dependability of the drive.
The HPE 793701-B21 SAS drive is designed for high reliability and durability:
- MTBF: The drive has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, which is a measure of how long the drive can operate without failing. A higher MTBF indicates a more reliable drive.
- Error recovery: The drive has advanced error recovery features that help to prevent data loss and minimize downtime in the event of a drive failure.
- Rotational vibration tolerance: The drive is designed to tolerate rotational vibration, which can occur when multiple hard drives are operating in close proximity. This helps to reduce the risk of drive failure and increase the reliability of the drive.
- Endurance: The drive is rated for high endurance, which is a measure of how many writes and reads a drive can handle over time. High endurance is important for data center applications that involve frequent writes and reads, such as backups, archiving, and storage for big data analytics.
- Warranty: The drive is backed by HPE's standard limited warranty, which provides coverage for defects in materials and workmanship.
