Description
Nearline and Hot-Swap Characteristics
The UCSC-C3X60-HD4TB Cisco hard drive is a 4TB SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive with a rotational speed of 7.2K RPM. It is designed for use in near-line storage systems and is optimized for cost-effective, high-capacity storage.
One of the characteristics of near-line hard drives is that they are designed for use in near-line storage systems and are optimized for cost-effective, high-capacity storage. They have a slower rotational speed than performance hard drives, which is typically around 7.2K RPM. This results in slower data access times, but it also results in lower power consumption and cost.
Additionally, this hard drive has a hot-swap capability, which means it can be easily removed and replaced with another drive without shutting down the system. This feature allows for easy hard drive replacement and maintenance, reducing downtime and improving system availability.
The hot-swap capability allows you to replace the hard drive while the system is still running, so you can upgrade the hard drive capacity or replace a failed hard drive with minimal disruption to the system’s operation. The nearline characteristic of this hard drive makes it suitable for archiving, backup, and video surveillance.
Performance and Durability
The UCSC-C3X60-HD4TB Cisco hard drive is designed for use in near-line storage systems, and it is optimized for cost-effective, high-capacity storage. It has a rotational speed of 7.2K RPM, which is slower than performance hard drives but results in lower power consumption and cost.
In terms of performance, this hard drive may have slower data access times compared to performance hard drives, but it is still faster than hard drives with lower rotational speeds. It also provides a large storage capacity of 4TB, which is suitable for high-capacity storage applications such as data archiving, backup, and video surveillance.
In terms of durability, the hard drive is designed to withstand the rigors of near-line storage systems. It has a high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating, which means it has been designed and tested to operate continuously for a long time without failure. Additionally, the hot-swap capability allows easy hard drive replacement and maintenance, reducing downtime and improving system availability.
Compatible systems
The UCSC-C3X60-HD4TB Cisco hard drive is compatible with a wide range of enterprise-level storage systems and servers that support SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and 6 Gbps data transfer speed. It is also compatible with SAS controllers and host bus adapters (HBAs) that support SAS 6 Gbps technology. This drive is specifically designed for use in Cisco storage systems, and it is fully compatible with these systems.
It is important to note that compatibility can vary depending on the specific make and model of the system or controller, so it is recommended to check the technical specifications of the system or controller before purchasing this hard drive. Additionally, some systems may require a firmware update to support the 6 Gbps data transfer speed of this drive.
It’s also important to check the form factor of the drive bay in your system and compare it with the form factor of the drive itself, as this drive has a 3.5-inch form factor. If the drive bay is not the same form factor, it may not fit in the system. Additionally, some systems may require specific versions of firmware, software, or drivers to support the SAS interface, so it’s important to consult the system’s documentation and check for any compatibility issues.
