Description
Product Overview
The Dell 400-AURJ is a hot-plug hard disk drive designed for use with 14G PowerEdge servers. It has a 2.4TB storage capacity, a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, and operates on a SAS-12Gbps interface. Additionally, the drive has a 512e format, which means it uses 512-byte sectors with emulation to support legacy applications and operating systems that rely on the older 512-byte sector size. In this article, we will delve into the specifications of the Dell 400-AURJ hard disk drive in more detail.
Storage Capacity
One of the most important features of any hard disk drive is its storage capacity. The Dell 400-AURJ has a capacity of 2.4TB, which means it can store a significant amount of data. This makes it ideal for use in servers that require large amounts of storage space for applications, databases, and other types of data.
Spindle Speed
Another important specification of the Dell 400-AURJ is its spindle speed. This is the speed at which the drive’s platters rotate and is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). The 400-AURJ has a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, which means it can read and write data at a faster rate than slower drives. This makes it ideal for use in applications that require fast data access, such as databases and virtual machines.
SAS-12Gbps Interface
The Dell 400-AURJ hard disk drive operates on a SAS-12Gbps interface. SAS stands for Serial Attached SCSI, which is a technology used to connect devices to a computer. The 12Gbps speed means that data can be transferred at up to 12 gigabits per second, which is faster than previous generations of SAS technology. This makes the Dell 400-AURJ an excellent choice for servers that require high-speed data transfer rates.
512e Format
The Dell 400-AURJ uses the 512e format, which is a type of sector size emulation. In this format, the drive uses 512-byte sectors but emulates 4K sectors to support legacy applications and operating systems that require the older 512-byte sector size. This ensures that the drive is compatible with a wide range of systems and applications, making it a versatile choice for server installations.
256MB Buffer
The Dell 400-AURJ has a 256MB buffer, also known as a cache. This is a type of memory that is used to temporarily store data that is frequently accessed. By storing frequently accessed data in the buffer, the drive can read and write data more quickly. This makes the drive an excellent choice for applications that require fast data access, such as databases and virtual machines.
2.5Inch IN 3.5Inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor
The Dell 400-AURJ hard disk drive has a hybrid carrier form factor. This means that it can be used in both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. The drive comes with a hybrid tray that allows it to be installed in a 3.5-inch drive bay, while also providing compatibility with 2.5-inch drive bays. This makes the Dell 400-AURJ a versatile choice for server installations where drive bay compatibility can be an issue.
Hot-Plug Capability
The Dell 400-AURJ is a hot-plug hard disk drive, which means it can be replaced while the server is running. This is a useful feature for servers that need to be available 24/7, as it allows drives to be replaced without shutting down the server. Hot-plug capability also makes it easier to upgrade or expand server storage capacity.
