This article will explain in detail what the 400-APXM Dell 900GB SAS 12GBPS 15K RPM 256MB Hot-swap Hard Drive is, how it works, and its features.
What is the 400-APXM Dell 900GB SAS 12GBPS 15K RPM 256MB Hot-swap Hard Drive? The 400-APXM Dell 900GB SAS 12GBPS 15K RPM 256MB Hot-swap Hard Drive is a high-capacity storage device that uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to connect to a computer system. It has a capacity of 900GB, which means it can store a large amount of data. The hard drive uses a rotational speed of 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which makes it faster than standard hard drives that typically operate at 7,200 RPM.
One of the key features of the 400-APXM Dell 900GB SAS 12GBPS 15K RPM 256MB Hot-swap Hard Drive is its hot-swappable design. This means that the hard drive can be removed and replaced without shutting down the system, making it easy to upgrade or replace faulty drives without disrupting the system.
The Dell 900GB SAS 12GBPS Hot-swap Hard Drive
The 400-APXM Dell 900GB SAS 12GBPS 15K RPM 256MB Hot-swap Hard Drive works by using magnetic disks to store data. The disks are coated with a magnetic material that can hold a magnetic charge, which represents the data stored on the drive. The hard drive also includes a read/write head that moves across the disk surface to access and modify data as needed.
The SAS interface is used to connect the hard drive to the computer system. It provides a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps), which allows data to be transferred quickly between the hard drive and the computer system. This is important for applications that require fast access to data, such as databases and virtualization.
