Description
Enterprise Hard Disk Drive
The Western Digital Ultrastar 0F38377 is an enterprise-grade hard disk drive that offers a storage capacity of 18 terabytes. It is designed for use in data centers and other demanding storage environments.
This drive uses the SAS interface and supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps. It features advanced technologies that optimize performance and reliability, such as HelioSeal technology and Advanced Format technology. Additionally, it also includes features such as Error Correction Code (ECC) and RAID-specific Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) to help ensure data integrity and prevent drive fallout caused by extended error-recovery processes.
This drive is also designed to operate at high temperatures, which allows it to run in data centers without any issues. It also includes a vibration protection system that helps protect the drive from vibration and shock, making it less likely to fail in case of an accident.
This drive is ideal for data centers and other enterprise storage environments where high-capacity, high-performance and high-reliability storage is required, especially in the case of large amount of data storage.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed data storage interface that uses a point-to-point architecture. It provides faster data transfer rates and improved data integrity compared to traditional parallel SCSI interfaces. SAS is a popular interface for high-end storage systems, servers and other high-performance computing applications.
The SAS interface uses a serial signaling technology that allows for faster data transfer rates and improved scalability compared to parallel SCSI. SAS supports both single-ended and differential signaling and is compatible with SATA, which allows for easy integration of SAS and SATA devices in a single storage system.
SAS also supports multiple initiators and targets on a single physical interface, which allows for greater scalability and higher availability in storage systems. SAS also supports features such as hot-swapping of devices, which allows for easy replacement of failed drives without shutting down the system.
SAS is widely used in data centers and enterprise storage environments, and is also commonly used in servers, storage arrays, and high-performance computing applications.
Compatibility Information
The Western Digital Ultrastar 0F38377 18TB hard drive is designed to be compatible with devices that support the SAS interface and a 12 Gbps data transfer rate. This includes servers, storage arrays, and other high-performance computing applications that use SAS for data storage.
It is important to check the compatibility of the hard drive with the specific device or system before installing it, to ensure it meets the required power, voltage, and connector requirements. The drive should also be compatible with the operating system and the RAID controller of the system in use.
Additionally, the drive is designed to meet the requirements of enterprise and data center environments, which typically demand high performance, reliability, and scalability. Some specific feature like hot-swapping of devices and vibration protection system, make it more suitable for data centers and other enterprise storage environments where high-capacity, high-performance and high-reliability storage is required.
