The 98Y6214 IBM 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 512E 128MB Buffer LFF Hard Drive has a storage capacity of 6 terabytes (TB). This means that it can store up to 6,000,000,000,000 bytes of data, or approximately 6,000 gigabytes (GB). This large storage capacity is ideal for storing large amounts of data such as high-resolution images, videos, and backups of important files and databases. With this large storage capacity, you can store large amounts of data, such as high-resolution images, videos, and backups of important files and databases. It can also be used in data centers, enterprise, and other applications that require high storage capacity and high-performance storage solutions.
SAS-12GBPS InterfaceThe 98Y6214 IBM 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 512E 128MB Buffer LFF Hard Drive has a SAS-12Gbps interface. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a high-speed data transfer interface that is designed for use in enterprise storage systems. It is faster than SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) interface and provides a high-performance, reliable and scalable storage solution.
The SAS-12Gbps interface provides a 12 Gbps data transfer rate, which is faster than the SAS-6Gbps which is 6Gbps. This allows the hard drive to transfer large amounts of data quickly, improving performance and reducing the time it takes to transfer large files or perform backups. The SAS interface supports full-duplex communication, allowing data to be transferred in both directions at the same time.
The SAS-12Gbps interface also offers a number of advanced features such as hot-plugging, which allows hard drives to be added or removed from a system without shutting it down and also supports SAS expanders that allow multiple hard drives to be connected to a single host bus adapter.
