Description
Product overview of Storage Drive
The 342-2135 Dell 600GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBITS 2.5inch Form Factor Hard Drive with Tray for Poweredge Server is a high-performance hard drive designed for use in Dell Poweredge servers. It has a capacity of 600GB and operates at a speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). The hard drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which provides a data transfer rate of up to 6 gigabits per second (Gbps). In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the features and benefits of this hard drive.
Form Factor and Compatibility
The 342-2135 Dell 600GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBITS 2.5inch Form Factor Hard Drive is designed to fit into a 2.5-inch drive bay in a server. This form factor is commonly used in servers due to its small size, which allows for more drives to be installed in a single server chassis. The hard drive is also designed to be hot-swappable, which means that it can be replaced while the server is running without any interruption to service.
The hard drive is specifically designed for use in Dell Poweredge servers, which are widely used in data centers and enterprise environments. It is compatible with a wide range of Dell Poweredge servers, including the R310, R410, R510, R610, R710, R810, R910, M610, M710, and M910. It is important to ensure that the hard drive is compatible with your specific server model before purchasing it.
Performance and Reliability
The 342-2135 Dell 600GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBITS 2.5inch Form Factor Hard Drive is designed for high-performance applications, such as databases, virtualization, and online transaction processing. The 10K RPM speed ensures fast data access times, which is essential for these types of applications. The hard drive also has a large 600GB capacity, which provides ample storage space for data-intensive applications.
In addition to its performance capabilities, the hard drive is also highly reliable. It has a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours, which means that it is expected to last for a long time without any failures. The hard drive also has built-in error correction capabilities, which helps to ensure that data is stored and retrieved accurately.
SAS Interface
The 342-2135 Dell 600GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBITS 2.5inch Form Factor Hard Drive uses the SAS interface, which is a high-speed interface designed for use in enterprise environments. The SAS interface provides a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps, which is faster than the older Serial ATA (SATA) interface commonly used in consumer-grade hard drives.
The SAS interface also provides other features that are important in enterprise environments. For example, it supports dual-ported operation, which allows for redundant connections to the server’s storage controller. This provides added reliability in the event of a hardware failure.
Tray Design
The 342-2135 Dell 600GB 10K RPM SAS-6GBITS 2.5inch Form Factor Hard Drive comes with a tray designed specifically for use in Dell Poweredge servers. The tray is designed to ensure a secure and reliable connection between the hard drive and the server’s storage backplane. It also provides easy installation and removal of the hard drive.
The tray is also designed to provide compatibility with a wide range of Dell Poweredge servers. This allows for easy migration of hard drives between servers, which can be useful when upgrading or replacing hardware.
