IBM 81Y3855 is a type of hard drive that belongs to the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) category. It is designed for enterprise-level applications that require high performance and reliability. This hard drive is equipped with advanced features such as Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology and Hot Swap functionality, making it ideal for use in demanding environments. In this article, we will discuss the various features and specifications of the IBM 81Y3855 hard drive in detail.
Capacity and SpeedThe IBM 81Y3855 hard drive has a storage capacity of 900GB, which is sufficient for storing large amounts of data. It operates at a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which makes it a high-performance hard drive. The high RPM ensures faster data access and transfer rates, resulting in improved system performance. It also has a 6Gbps (Gigabits per second) data transfer rate, which is the maximum speed supported by the SAS interface.
SAS InterfaceThe IBM 81Y3855 hard drive uses the SAS interface, which is a type of data transfer protocol used in enterprise-level storage systems. SAS is a faster and more reliable interface compared to SATA (Serial ATA), another common interface used in personal computers. The SAS interface supports higher data transfer rates, which is essential for enterprise-level applications that require fast and reliable storage systems.
SFF G2 Form FactorThe IBM 81Y3855 hard drive is designed in the Small Form Factor (SFF) G2 form factor, which is a compact size that makes it suitable for use in space-constrained environments. The SFF G2 form factor measures 2.5 inches in width, making it smaller than the 3.5-inch form factor commonly used in desktop computers. The smaller size of the SFF G2 form factor also enables more drives to be installed in a single storage system, resulting in higher storage density.
Hot Swap FunctionalityThe IBM 81Y3855 hard drive is equipped with Hot Swap functionality, which allows the drive to be removed and replaced while the system is still running. This feature is useful in enterprise-level environments where downtime is not acceptable. With Hot Swap, administrators can replace a failed drive without shutting down the system, resulting in minimal disruption to system operations. The drive is also designed with a tray that enables easy removal and insertion, making the process quick and straightforward.
SED TechnologyThe IBM 81Y3855 hard drive is equipped with Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, which provides an additional layer of security to protect data stored on the drive. SED technology uses hardware encryption to encrypt data, making it inaccessible to unauthorized users. The encryption keys are stored on the drive itself, which ensures that the data is secure even if the drive is removed from the system. SED technology also ensures that the drive is compliant with industry standards for data security.
Enterprise-level ApplicationsThe IBM 81Y3855 hard drive is designed for enterprise-level applications that require high performance and reliability. It is ideal for use in storage systems that support high-traffic applications such as databases, virtualization, and cloud computing. The high capacity, speed, and reliability of the drive ensure that the system operates at peak performance, resulting in improved productivity and efficiency. The drive is also designed with advanced features such as SED technology and Hot Swap functionality, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require secure and reliable storage solutions.
Conclusion The IBM 81Y3855 900GB 10K RPM SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Sed Enterprise Hard Drive With Tray is a high-performance and reliable storage solution designed for enterprise-level applications. It offers a high storage capacity, fast data transfer rates, and
