Description
More Information
The HPE 867943-002 12TB SAS 12GBPS 7.2K RPM Hot Swap Hard Drive is a high-capacity storage device designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage arrays. The drive has a storage capacity of 12TB, which allows for the storage of large amounts of data.
The drive utilizes the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides a high data transfer rate of 12 Gbps. This interface is commonly used in enterprise storage systems, and is designed for high-speed data transfer and reliability. The SAS interface also allows for the drive to be connected to a SAS controller which enables the drive to be part of a RAID configuration, this can improve the overall data protection and availability.
The HDD operates at a rotational speed of 7.2k RPM, which provides fast data access and transfer rates. This makes it suitable for use in high-performance computing and data-intensive applications.
The drive also has a hot-swap capability, which allows for easy replacement of the drive without shutting down the system. This means that if the drive fails, it can be replaced without disrupting the operation of the system.
It is important to note that the reliability of a hard drive can be affected by a number of factors including environmental conditions, usage patterns, and how well it is maintained. To ensure maximum reliability, it is important to use the drive in a controlled environment
Backup & Restore Facilities
The HPE 12TB SAS 12GBPS 7.2K RPM Hot Swap Hard Drive is well-suited for backup and restore operations. It has a storage capacity of 12TB, a rotational speed of 7200 RPM, and a data transfer rate of 12GB/s using SAS interface. Additionally, it features hot-swap capability, allowing for easy replacement or upgrade without shutting down the system. This feature makes it ideal for use in environments where uptime is critical and data needs to be backed up and restored quickly and efficiently.
This hard drive also support RAID configuration, which can provide added data protection and performance. This drive is optimized for use in enterprise-level storage systems and can withstand the demands of high-transaction environments, making it a reliable option for backup and restore operations.
Performance & Reliability
The HPE 12TB SAS 12GBPS 7.2K RPM Hot Swap Hard Drive is designed to provide high performance and reliability in data center and enterprise storage environments.
The SAS interface allows for fast data transfer speeds of 12Gbps, which can help to improve the overall performance of the storage system. The 7.2K RPM speed provides faster data access compared to slower 5400 RPM SATA drives. The large buffer size can help to improve the drive’s performance by allowing for faster data access.
SAS drives are generally considered to be more reliable than SATA drives because of their ability to handle a higher number of read and write operations. They are also better suited for use in enterprise environments where data availability and uptime are critical. The hot-swap feature also allows for easy replacement of the hard drive without shutting down the system, making it ideal for use in mission-critical environments where downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.
It is important to note that the actual performance and reliability of the drive will depend on the specific storage system it is used in and how it is configured. It is advisable to consult the technical documentation of your server or storage array and contact HPE’s technical support team for further assistance to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
