Description
Product Overview
The 400-AKWR Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS LFF (Large Form Factor) Hard Drive features a large form factor, which means that it is physically larger than other form factors such as SFF (Small Form Factor) and 2.5-inch drives. LFF drives are typically 3.5 inches in size and are used in servers and storage arrays that have more space for larger drives.
The benefits of using a LFF drive include:
- Increased storage capacity: LFF drives have a larger physical size, which allows for more platters and increased storage capacity. This makes them an ideal solution for businesses that require a high-capacity storage solution.
- Improved performance: LFF drives typically have a higher rotational speed and a larger buffer size, which can result in improved performance.
- Better cooling: LFF drives have more surface area which allows for better cooling, reducing the risk of overheating and improving the overall reliability of the drive.
- Cost-effective: LFF drives tend to be less expensive per GB of storage than smaller form factor drives, making them a cost-effective solution for high-capacity storage needs.
- Compatibility: LFF drives are compatible with a wide range of servers and storage arrays, providing a high level of compatibility and flexibility.
SAS Interface and Speed
The 400-AKWR Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS LFF Hard Drive features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 12 Gbps interface, which provides high-speed data transfer and improved performance over traditional SAS interfaces. SAS is a point-to-point interface that provides faster data transfer rates and improved scalability compared to other interfaces such as SATA.
The 12 Gbps SAS interface provides several benefits including:
- Increased data transfer rates: The 12 Gbps SAS interface allows for faster data transfer rates, providing improved performance for data-intensive applications.
- Improved scalability: SAS supports daisy-chaining multiple devices together, allowing for the addition of more storage capacity as needed.
- Improved reliability: SAS provides improved error handling and fault tolerance, improving the overall reliability of the storage system.
- Increased compatibility: SAS is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage arrays, providing a high level of compatibility and flexibility.
- Better Quality of Service: SAS 12Gbps provides support for multiplexing and different Quality of Service options, which allows for more efficient use of the available bandwidth.
RAID Support and Compatibility
The 400-AKWR Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS LFF Hard Drive supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology, which allows for the creation of a redundant and fault-tolerant storage system. RAID provides a way to protect data by using multiple hard drives to store data in a redundant manner, so that if one drive fails, the data can still be accessed from the other drives.
The drive supports multiple RAID levels including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10, which provides businesses with a range of options for protecting their data and improving performance.
The drive is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage arrays that support SAS 12 Gbps interface and LFF form factor, providing a high level of compatibility and flexibility. It is also compatible with Dell’s PowerEdge and PowerVault servers, which are designed for use in enterprise environments, providing businesses with a reliable and high-performance storage solution.
