Description
More Information
The 161MF Dell 18TB 7.2RPM ISESAS 12GBPS 512MB 512e Hard Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity storage solution for enterprise-grade systems and applications.
The drive has a storage capacity of 18 terabytes and a rotation speed of 7200 RPM. This provides faster data access times than slower-spinning drives, which can help improve the overall performance of the storage system.
The drive uses the ISE-SAS 12GBPS interface, which is a 12 Gbps SAS interface that supports the latest generation of SAS-based storage solutions. This interface provides faster data transfer speeds than SAS-6GBPS and SAS-3GBPS interfaces, allowing for faster data access and better performance when working with large data sets or when multiple users are accessing the data simultaneously.
The drive is 512e formatted which means it uses 512 byte logical block size and 4096 byte physical block size. This allows for more efficient use of storage space and less overhead, which can result in improved performance.
The drive also has a 512MB cache buffer, which helps to improve the overall performance of the drive by allowing for faster data access.
The drive is hot-plug capable which allows for easy replacement of failed drives without shutting down the entire system. This feature can increase system availability and reduce downtime.
The 161MF Dell 18TB 7.2RPM ISESAS 12GBPS 512MB 512e Hard Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity storage solution for enterprise-grade systems and applications that require large amounts of storage and fast data access.
Exceptional Compatibility
The Dell 18TB 7.2 RPM 12 Gbps SAS hard drive is compatible with servers and storage systems that support SAS 12 Gbps interfaces and have a SAS backplane or controller. It is recommended that you check with your server or storage system vendor for specific compatibility information, as well as the firmware version of your SAS controller. It is also important to ensure that the drive is supported by your RAID controller as well as the RAID level you are using.
It is also important to note that this drive is designed for use in enterprise and data center environments, and may not be compatible with consumer-grade computer systems. It is recommended to check the system documentation and ensure that the drive is supported by your RAID controller as well as the RAID level you are using.
High Performance
The performance of a Dell 18TB hard drive will depend on several factors, including the rotational speed (RPM), interface, and data transfer rate.
In general, a hard drive with a higher rotational speed will have faster read and write speeds than a hard drive with a lower rotational speed. A hard drive with a SAS interface will typically have faster data transfer rates than a hard drive with a SATA interface.
The Dell 18TB hard drive is likely to have 7200 RPM , SAS interface and 12 Gbps data transfer rate, which would provide good performance for large-scale data storage and retrieval.
Additionally, the drive may use RAID technology to improve performance and data integrity. RAID allows multiple hard drives to work together to increase performance and provide redundancy in case of a hard drive failure.
Please note that the specific performance of a Dell 18TB hard drive can vary depending on the specific model and how it is used in a storage system.
