Description
Product overview of Hard Drive
The 400-APGC Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS 12GBPS SFF Hard Drive is a high-performance storage device that is designed to meet the needs of modern data centers. This hard drive is manufactured by Dell, a leading provider of computer hardware and software solutions. The 400-APGC model is specifically designed for use in Dell servers and storage arrays that support SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface.
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
SAS is a computer interface that is used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives to a server or storage array. SAS is a successor to the earlier SCSI interface and provides several advantages over its predecessor, including higher data transfer rates, improved reliability, and better scalability. SAS is commonly used in data centers and enterprise environments where high-performance storage is critical.
900GB Storage Capacity
The 400-APGC Dell hard drive has a storage capacity of 900GB, which is a significant amount of storage for a single device. This storage capacity is ideal for storing large amounts of data, including database files, virtual machines, and other types of digital content. The 900GB storage capacity is also useful for applications that require fast access to data, such as high-performance computing and data analytics.
15K RPM Rotational Speed
The 400-APGC Dell hard drive has a rotational speed of 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is significantly faster than the 7,200 RPM rotational speed of standard desktop hard drives. The higher rotational speed of the 400-APGC hard drive results in faster data transfer rates and improved overall performance. The 15K RPM speed is also beneficial for applications that require high-speed access to data, such as online transaction processing and real-time analytics.
12Gbps SAS Interface
The 400-APGC Dell hard drive features a SAS interface that supports data transfer rates of up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps). This interface provides faster data transfer rates than the earlier SAS and SCSI interfaces, which had maximum data transfer rates of 6 Gbps and 3 Gbps, respectively. The 12Gbps SAS interface is beneficial for applications that require fast access to data and can help to improve overall system performance.
Small Form Factor (SFF)
The 400-APGC Dell hard drive has a small form factor (SFF) design, which means that it is physically smaller than standard desktop hard drives. The small size of the hard drive makes it easier to fit into tight spaces, which is useful in data center environments where space is often at a premium. The SFF design also allows for more efficient use of power and cooling resources, which can help to reduce operating costs.
Reliability and Durability
The 400-APGC Dell hard drive is designed to be highly reliable and durable. The hard drive is built with high-quality components that are designed to withstand the rigors of continuous operation in a data center environment. The hard drive also features advanced error correction and detection capabilities, which help to prevent data loss and ensure data integrity. Additionally, the hard drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 2 million hours, which indicates a high level of reliability.
In summary, 400-APGC Dell 900GB 15K RPM SAS 12GBPS SFF Hard Drive is a high-performance storage device that is designed for use in data center environments. The hard drive features a SAS interface, 900GB of storage capacity, and a rotational speed of 15K RPM, making it an ideal choice for applications that require fast access to data.
