Description
Interface and connectivity
Interface and connectivity refer to the way a hard disk drive (HDD) connects to other devices and systems. The 400-AHFM Dell 6TB 7.2K RPM Hard Disk Drive has a SAS-6GBPS interface, which stands for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) with a data transfer rate of 6 GigaBytes per second (GBps). This interface is designed for high-performance storage systems and allows for fast data transfer rates, making it suitable for use in data centers and other demanding environments.
This HDD is compatible with Dell systems and is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning it can be easily replaced without having to shut down the system. It also offers multiple drive connectivity options, meaning it can be connected to multiple drives in a single system.
The HDD supports hardware and software RAID, which allows for data redundancy and increased reliability. It is also compatible with SAS expanders, which allow for more drive connections in a single system. Additionally, it supports Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 encryption, which provide advanced security for your data.
The HDD is compatible with Dell’s PowerVault and PowerEdge servers, as well as other major server brands. It supports data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps and advanced data protection and management features.
Data protection and reliability
Data protection and reliability refer to the measures taken to ensure that data stored on a hard disk drive (HDD) is secure and can be recovered in case of failure. The 400-AHFM Dell 6TB 7.2K RPM Hard Disk Drive offers several data protection and reliability features, including:
- RAID support: This HDD supports hardware and software RAID, which allows for data redundancy and increased reliability. RAID can be configured in different levels, such as RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, which provide different levels of data protection.
- Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) support: The HDD supports SED encryption, which encrypts all data on the drive without any performance impact. This feature helps protect your data from unauthorized access.
- Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 support: The HDD is also compatible with FIPS 140-2 encryption standard, which is a U.S. government standard for data security.
- Error Correction Code (ECC) support: ECC is a method for detecting and correcting errors in data stored on a disk. This feature helps to ensure data integrity and reliability.
- Hot-swappable design: The drive is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning it can be easily replaced without having to shut down the system.
- Multiple drive connectivity options: The drive offers multiple drive connectivity options, meaning it can be connected to multiple drives in a single system.
- MTBF and AFR: Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) are used to measure the reliability of the drive. High MTBF and low AFR indicate a more reliable drive.
- Warranty and Support: Dell offers a limited warranty period and technical support for the drive, providing peace of mind and protection for your investment.
Power consumption and noise level
Power consumption and noise level refer to the amount of electricity used by a hard disk drive (HDD) and the amount of noise it generates during operation. The 400-AHFM Dell 6TB 7.2K RPM Hard Disk Drive has the following specifications for power consumption and noise level:
- Power consumption: The HDD has a typical power consumption of 7.2 watts while operating and 5.7 watts while idle.
- Noise level: The HDD has an average noise level of 4.0 bels while operating, which is considered to be quiet.
It’s important to note that power consumption and noise level will vary depending on the specific operating conditions and usage of the HDD. Factors that can affect power consumption and noise level include the temperature of the environment, the number of drives in use, and the workload of the system.
Additionally, Hard Drive manufacturers usually provide the specifications in their datasheets, it’s important to check them for the specific HDD you’re working with.
