Description
Capacity and Storage Options
Capacity and storage options refer to the amount of data that can be stored on a hard drive and the various storage configurations available.
The Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 4KN Hard Drive has a storage capacity of 900GB, making it suitable for applications that require a large amount of storage space.
In terms of storage options, the drive supports 4Kn sector format, which is a newer sector format that provides improved data protection and performance compared to traditional sector formats. The SAS-12GBPS interface provides fast data transfer speeds, making it ideal for demanding data storage and retrieval applications. The 4KN sector format and SAS-12GBPS interface provide reliable and efficient storage options for enterprise-level server systems.
Form Factor and Compatibility
Form factor refers to the physical size and shape of a hard drive. This is an important consideration when selecting a hard drive, as the form factor must match the available drive bay in the system.
The Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 4KN Hard Drive has a 2.5-inch form factor, which is a common size for internal hard drives used in enterprise-level server systems.
Compatibility refers to the ability of a hard drive to work with a specific computer system. When selecting a hard drive, it is important to ensure that the drive is compatible with the system and that the proper cables and connectors are used.
The Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 4KN Hard Drive is compatible with a wide range of server systems that support the SAS-12GBPS interface and 2.5-inch drive bays. The manufacturer provides detailed compatibility information on their website, and it is recommended to consult this information to ensure proper operation with a specific system.
Interface and Connectivity
The interface and connectivity of a hard drive refer to the way in which the drive connects to the computer system and transfers data.
The Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 4KN Hard Drive uses a SAS-12GBPS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface commonly used in enterprise-level server systems. The SAS-12GBPS interface provides fast and reliable data transfer speeds, making it ideal for demanding data storage and retrieval applications.
In terms of connectivity, the drive uses a 12GB/s SAS connector, which is compatible with a wide range of server systems that support the SAS-12GBPS interface. The manufacturer provides detailed compatibility information on their website, and it is recommended to consult this information to ensure proper operation with a specific system.
It is important to note that the SAS-12GBPS interface requires a SAS-compatible controller in the computer system, and that the proper cables and connectors must be used to ensure proper operation.
