Description
Product Overview
The 400-AUVR Dell Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a storage device that is designed for use in PowerEdge servers. It has a storage capacity of 2.4TB and operates at a speed of 10,000 rotations per minute (RPM). This HDD uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface which enables it to transfer data at a rate of 12 gigabits per second (Gbps). In this article, we will take a closer look at the features of the 400-AUVR Dell HDD and its suitability for use in PowerEdge servers.
Storage Capacity
The 400-AUVR Dell HDD has a storage capacity of 2.4TB. This means that it can store up to 2.4 terabytes (TB) of data. The storage capacity of an HDD is one of its most important features as it determines how much data it can store. In a server environment, having a high storage capacity is crucial as it allows for the storage of large amounts of data.
Rotations Per Minute
The 400-AUVR Dell HDD operates at a speed of 10,000 RPM. This means that the disk inside the HDD rotates 10,000 times per minute. The speed at which an HDD operates is important as it affects its performance. The higher the RPM, the faster the HDD can read and write data. In a server environment, having an HDD with a high RPM is crucial as it allows for faster data transfer and access.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Interface
The 400-AUVR Dell HDD uses the SAS interface. SAS is a point-to-point serial protocol used for data transfer between a computer and its storage devices. It is faster than the older Parallel SCSI interface and has a transfer rate of up to 12 Gbps. The SAS interface is commonly used in server environments as it allows for faster data transfer and is more reliable than other interfaces.
512E Format
The 400-AUVR Dell HDD uses the 512E format. This means that it emulates a 512-byte sector size even though it physically has a 4KB sector size. This allows the HDD to maintain compatibility with legacy systems that use a 512-byte sector size while still taking advantage of the larger 4KB sector size. The 512E format is commonly used in server environments as it allows for compatibility with older systems while still providing the benefits of larger sector sizes.
256MB Buffer
The 400-AUVR Dell HDD has a buffer size of 256MB. The buffer is a portion of memory on the HDD that is used to temporarily store data that is being read from or written to the disk. A larger buffer size can improve the performance of the HDD as it allows for larger amounts of data to be read or written at once. In a server environment, having an HDD with a large buffer size is important as it can help to improve the overall performance of the server.
2.5Inch IN 3.5Inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor
The 400-AUVR Dell HDD uses the 2.5Inch IN 3.5Inch Hybrid Carrier Form Factor. This means that it can be used in both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. The hybrid carrier form factor allows for greater flexibility in server design as it allows for the use of smaller drives in larger drive bays. This can help to reduce the overall size of the server while still maintaining a high storage capacity.
