Product overview of 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hot-Plug Hard Drive
Dell is a renowned company that offers a range of computer systems and hardware. One of their products is the 400-AKLN Dell Hybrid 600GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 4KN 2.5inch Hot-Plug Hard Drive With Tray For Poweredge Server. This product is designed to provide reliable storage and high-speed data transfer for PowerEdge servers.
Specifications
The 400-AKLN Dell Hybrid 600GB hard drive is designed for use in PowerEdge servers, which are commonly used in enterprise environments. The hard drive is a hybrid model, which means it combines traditional magnetic storage with flash memory. This allows for faster data access and transfer speeds compared to traditional hard drives.
The hard drive has a capacity of 600GB, which is sufficient for most server applications. It operates at 15,000 RPM, which is faster than most traditional hard drives. This results in faster read and write speeds, which are critical for server applications. The hard drive uses a SAS-12GBPS interface, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol. This allows for fast data transfer between the hard drive and other components in the server.
The hard drive also supports 4KN, which stands for 4K Native. This means that the hard drive uses a sector size of 4KB, which is more efficient than the older 512-byte sector size. This allows for faster data transfer and better performance compared to hard drives that use the older sector size.
The hard drive is designed for hot-plug use, which means it can be inserted and removed from the server without shutting down the system. This is important for maintaining uptime and ensuring that the server remains operational at all times.
Compatibility
The 400-AKLN Dell Hybrid hard drive is compatible with a range of PowerEdge servers, including the PowerEdge R640, R740, R740xd, R940, and more. It is important to check the compatibility of the hard drive with the server before making a purchase. This can be done by checking the server’s documentation or by contacting Dell’s customer support team.
Installation
Installing the 400-AKLN Dell Hybrid hard drive is a simple process that can be done by following the server’s documentation. The hard drive comes with a tray that is designed to fit into the server’s drive bays. The tray is designed to hold the hard drive securely in place and ensure that it is properly aligned with the other components in the server.
The hard drive can be inserted into the tray and then inserted into the server’s drive bay. Once the hard drive is in place, it can be secured using screws or other fasteners. The server’s documentation will provide detailed instructions on how to install the hard drive.
Benefits
The 400-AKLN Dell Hybrid hard drive offers several benefits for PowerEdge server users. One of the main benefits is faster data transfer speeds. The high-speed SAS-12GBPS interface and 15,000 RPM speed result in faster data access and transfer speeds compared to traditional hard drives.
The hybrid design of the hard drive also provides faster performance compared to traditional hard drives. The flash memory component of the hard drive allows for frequently accessed data to be stored in the flash memory, which allows for faster access times. This results in improved performance and faster application load times.
The 4KN support of the hard drive also provides benefits for server applications. The larger sector size allows for more efficient data transfer and improved performance compared to hard drives that use the older 512-byte sector size.
The hot-plug design of the hard drive also provides benefits for server administrators. The ability to insert and remove the hard drive without shutting down the server allows for maintenance and upgrades to be performed without interrupting the server’s operation.
