Description
High Reliability
The HGST Ultrastar DC 0F38458 is a high-performance, high-capacity hard drive that offers a storage capacity of 18 terabytes. It is designed for use in data centers and other demanding storage environments, where high reliability is a critical requirement.
The 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.
The drive also undergoes a series of rigorous testing and qualification processes before it is released to ensure that it meets the high reliability standards required for data center and enterprise use. It 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.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives. It was designed as a replacement for the parallel ATA (PATA) interface. SATA uses a serial signaling technology, which allows for faster data transfer rates and improved scalability compared to parallel ATA.
SATA interface has faster data transfer rate than PATA and it’s also more versatile and easily expandable, it is commonly used in desktop and laptop computers, as well as in external storage devices such as external hard drives and DVD drives. SATA also supports features such as hot-swapping of devices, which allows for easy replacement of failed drives without shutting down the system.
SATA is widely used in consumer and enterprise storage environments. It is also commonly used in servers, storage arrays, and high-performance computing applications, although it’s less common than SAS for that purpose.
Enterprise Hard Disk Drive
The HGST Ultrastar DC 0F38458 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, where high reliability and performance are critical requirements.
This drive uses the SAS interface, not the SATA 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.
The drive also undergoes a series of rigorous testing and qualification processes before it is released to ensure that it meets the high reliability standards required for data center and enterprise use. It 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. It is not compatible with systems that use SATA interface and it’s recommended to check the compatibility before installing it.
