Description
Product Overview
The UCS-HD4T7KS3-E Cisco 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS 3.5Inch Hot Plug Hard Drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for use in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers. It features a large 4TB capacity and 7.2K RPM speed, making it ideal for storing and quickly accessing large amounts of data. The drive is a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and has a 3.5-inch form factor. It is also hot-pluggable, which means it can be easily removed and replaced without shutting down the server. This feature makes it easy to upgrade or replace the drive as needed.
High-performance
The UCS-HD4T7KS3-E Cisco 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS 3.5Inch Hot Plug Hard Drive is designed to provide fast and reliable performance for demanding applications. With a 7.2K RPM speed, it offers faster data access and transfer speeds compared to slower 5400 RPM drives. Additionally, the SAS interface provides a higher data transfer rate and improved reliability compared to SATA drives.
The drive also supports advanced features such as TRIM and S.M.A.R.T, which help to optimize performance and maintain the health of the drive. TRIM helps to improve write performance by proactively wiping stale data, while S.M.A.R.T provides detailed monitoring and analysis of the drive’s health and performance.
In addition, the drive is built to withstand high workloads, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy use. This makes it suitable for use in applications such as virtualization, databases, and big data.
General Compatibility
The UCS-HD4T7KS3-E Cisco 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS 3.5Inch Hot Plug Hard Drive is compatible with Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers. Specifically, it is designed for use with the following UCS server models: C240 M4S, C240 M4SX, C240 M5, C240 M5L, C240 M5S, C240 M5SX, C240 M5L SFF, C240 M5L LFF, C3160, C3260, C4200, and C125 M5.
It is important to note that this drive may not be compatible with other server models or brands, and it should be verified with the server’s documentation or the vendor before purchasing.
The drive also requires the use of a SAS HBA or RAID controller that supports SAS 3.0. This is to ensure that the drive can reach its maximum data transfer rates and to provide advanced features such as TRIM and S.M.A.R.T.
It is also important to ensure that the drive firmware and BIOS versions of the server are up to date. This will help to ensure smooth operation and maximum compatibility between the drive and the server.
