Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) is a type of data storage interface that uses a serial protocol to transfer data between devices. It is typically used for high-speed storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs). SAS drives have a faster data transfer rate than traditional Serial ATA (SATA) drives, and they also support more advanced features such as hot-swapping and dual-porting. The specific model number you provided, 90Y8954 IBM 500GB RPM 7.2K SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Hard Drive, is a SAS hard drive with a capacity of 500GB, a rotation speed of 7200 RPM, a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps, and the ability to be hot-swapped.
More Information
The 90Y8954 IBM 500GB RPM 7.2K SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Hard Drive is a hard disk drive (HDD) that uses the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to connect to a computer. It has the following features:
- Capacity: 500GB, which means it can store up to 500 gigabytes of data.
- Rotation speed: 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is the speed at which the disk inside the drive spins. A higher RPM means faster data access times.
- SAS interface: SAS is a faster and more advanced version of the Serial ATA (SATA) interface that is commonly used for storage devices. SAS supports faster data transfer rates (up to 6 Gbps in this case) and more advanced features such as dual-porting and hot-swapping.
- Form factor: SFF (small form factor), which means it is smaller in size than a standard 3.5-inch hard drive.
- G2 Hot Swap: This refers to the drive's ability to be hot-swapped. Hot-swapping means that the drive can be removed and replaced while the system is still powered on, without interrupting the operation of the system.
This hard drive can be used in a server, workstation, or any other computer that supports SAS interface, and it's suitable for applications that require fast data access and large storage capacity.
Form Factor
Form factor refers to the physical dimensions and layout of a computer component, such as a hard drive. The form factor of a hard drive determines how it can be installed in a computer, and what type of enclosure or drive bay it will fit into.
The 90Y8954 IBM 500GB RPM 7.2K SAS 6GBPS SFF G2 Hot Swap Hard Drive is a small form factor (SFF) hard drive. SFF drives are smaller in size than standard 3.5-inch hard drives, and typically have a 2.5-inch form factor. This allows them to be used in smaller devices, such as laptops and smaller server or desktop computers, or in space-constrained environments where a 3.5-inch drive may not fit.
SFF hard drives are designed to fit in specific drive bays or enclosures that are designed for their form factor. They will typically have a smaller connector and power requirements than a 3.5-inch hard drive.
It's important to note that the form factor of a hard drive is separate from its interface, which in this case is SAS. A hard drive can have the same form factor but use different interfaces such as SAS, SCSI, or SATA.
