Description
Product Specifications
The 342-2083 Dell 450GB 15K RPM SAS 6GBITS 3.5 Inch LP 1.0 Inches Hard Disk Drive with Tray is a type of computer storage device designed by Dell Technologies. It is a high-performance hard disk drive that is used in servers, workstations, and other data-intensive applications. This hard drive is designed to provide fast data access and high data transfer rates, making it suitable for use in demanding computing environments.
Design and Capacity
The 342-2083 Dell 450GB hard drive has a 3.5-inch form factor, which means it is designed to fit into standard 3.5-inch drive bays in servers and workstations. It also has a low profile design, which means it is only 1 inch thick. This makes it a space-saving option for computing environments that require a large number of hard drives.
The hard drive has a capacity of 450GB, which is quite large and makes it suitable for storing large amounts of data. The drive uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed interface that provides faster data transfer rates than traditional SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces. It has a data transfer rate of 6Gbps, which is six times faster than the SATA II interface.
Performance and Reliability
The 342-2083 Dell hard drive has a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is significantly faster than most standard hard drives that have a speed of 7200 RPM. This fast rotational speed means that the hard drive can access data quickly, which is essential for high-performance computing environments.
The hard drive is also designed to be highly reliable, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of up to 1.6 million hours. This means that the drive is expected to last a long time before it fails, even when used in demanding computing environments. The drive also comes with a tray, which helps to protect the drive and ensures that it is securely installed in the server or workstation.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing the 342-2083 Dell hard drive is a straightforward process. The drive comes with a tray that is designed to fit into the server or workstation’s drive bay. The tray has screw holes that align with the screw holes on the drive, allowing it to be securely mounted in the drive bay.
Once the hard drive is installed, it is important to regularly perform maintenance tasks to ensure that it continues to function properly. This includes tasks such as defragmenting the drive, checking for bad sectors, and cleaning the drive to remove any dust or debris that may accumulate over time.
In Summary, the 342-2083 Dell 450GB 15K RPM SAS 6GBITS 3.5 Inch LP 1.0 Inches Hard Disk Drive with Tray is a high-performance, reliable hard drive that is designed for use in demanding computing environments. Its fast data transfer rates, large capacity, and low profile design make it a popular choice for servers and workstations that require high-speed data access and large amounts of storage space. The drive is compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and workstations, as well as other SAS-enabled devices from other manufacturers.
