Description
More Information
The Dell 400-AXLI 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E LFF hard drive is a high-performance hard drive designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications. It has a Large Form Factor (LFF) which means it has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for internal hard drives and is compatible with most servers, desktops, and laptops that have a 3.5-inch drive bay.
It uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-performance interface designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications. The SAS interface supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces, this provides faster access to data stored on the hard drive and improves the overall performance of the drive. Additionally, it’s backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SAS-2 interfaces.
The hard drive has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute) which allows for faster data access and improved performance. It also features a 256MB buffer and 512E format, which provides improved performance and increased storage density. The 512E format is used to improve the compatibility of the drive with legacy systems that were designed to work with 512-byte sectors.
It includes advanced error correction and data protection features to ensure data integrity and reliability. Additionally, it has a hot-plug support which allows for easy replacement of the drive without shutting down the system. This enables easy drive replacement in case of failure or upgrade.
It’s important to note that the performance of the drive may vary depending on the system it’s used in, and the workloads being performed on the drive. In order to get the best performance out of the drive, it’s important to check the compatibility of the drive before purchasing it, ensure that your system’s firmware and drivers are up-to-date, and take into account the RAID configuration for optimal performance.
High-performance
The performance of the Dell 400-AXLI 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E LFF hard drive will depend on several factors, including the interface, the workloads being performed on the drive, and the system it’s used in.
The SAS interface supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces. This means that the drive can transfer data faster and improve the overall performance of the drive. Additionally, it’s backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SAS-2 interfaces.
The hard drive has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute) which allows for faster data access and improved performance. It also features a 256MB buffer and 512E format, which provides improved performance and increased storage density. The 512E format is used to improve the compatibility of the drive with legacy systems that were designed to work with 512-byte sectors.
The drive is also suitable for read-intensive workloads, which means that it is optimized for frequently reading large amounts of data. The drive has a 12TB storage capacity, which allows for large amounts of data to be stored on it. This can be beneficial for applications that require high storage capacity and fast access to data, such as data warehousing, video editing, and other high-performance computing applications.
It’s important to note that the performance of the drive will also depend on the system it’s used in, and the RAID configuration. In order to get the best performance out of the drive, it’s important to check the compatibility of the drive before purchasing it, ensure that your system’s firmware and drivers are up-to-date, and take into account the RAID configuration for optimal performance.
Drive Compatibility
The compatibility of the Dell 400-AXLI 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E LFF hard drive depends on several factors, including the physical form factor, interface, and the operating system and firmware of the system it will be used in.
First, the drive has a Large Form Factor (LFF) which means it has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for internal hard drives and is compatible with most servers, desktops, and laptops that have a 3.5-inch drive bay.
Second, it uses the SAS interface, which is a high-performance interface designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications. The drive is compatible with systems that support 12 Gbps SAS interface, and it’s backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SAS-2 interfaces.
Third, the drive should be compatible with most operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, it’s important to check the firmware and driver compatibility of the hard drive with your current system, and ensure that they are up-to-date.
Finally, it’s important to check the RAID configuration of the drive, if the drive is planned to be used in a RAID setup, make sure that the RAID controller in your system supports 12 Gbps SAS interface, and is compatible with this product 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E LFF hard drive.
