Description
Reliability
Dell 2VTVH 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Form Factor Hot-plug Hard Drive is a reliable option for data storage. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives are typically more reliable than SATA hard drives due to the improved data transfer speeds and error checking capabilities of the SAS interface. Hot-plugging the drive, means you can remove and replace the drive without shutting down the system. Additionally, Dell is a reputable brand known for producing high-quality products. However, as with any mechanical device, hard drives can fail, so it’s important to have a backup and disaster recovery plan in place to protect your data.
Performance of 7.2K RPM HDD
The Dell 2VTVH 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Form Factor Hot-plug Hard Drive is a high-performance drive with a large capacity. The 7.2K RPM speed means that the drive can access and transfer data quickly. The SAS 12 Gbps interface provides faster data transfer speeds compared to the older SAS 6 Gbps or SATA interfaces.
However, it’s worth noting that 7.2K RPM drives are slower than 10K or 15K RPM drives, so if you are working with large amounts of data and require the highest IOPS(Input/Output Operations Per Second), a faster spinning drive would be a better option.
Compatibility of Hot Plug HDD
The Dell 2VTVH 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Form Factor Hot-plug Hard Drive is compatible with servers and storage arrays that support SAS 12 Gbps interface and hot-plugging feature. It’s also compatible with Dell servers and storage arrays that support the 2.5-inch form factor.
It’s important to check the server or storage array’s technical specifications to ensure compatibility with the drive before purchasing. This can be done by consulting the system’s manual, or by checking the technical specifications on the manufacturer’s website.
It’s also important to check the firmware version of your server or storage array and ensure that it is compatible with the drive. If the firmware is not compatible with the drive, the drive may not function properly or may not be recognized by the system. Updating the firmware to the latest version can solve this problem.
It’s also important to note that this drive uses SAS protocol and not SATA, so it will not be compatible with systems that support only SATA protocols.
