Description
Large Capacity for Demanding Workloads
The Dell 400-AUYL 960GB Read Intensive MLC SAS 12GBPS Hot Swap Solid State Drive is designed to provide a large capacity for demanding workloads. With its 960GB storage capacity, this drive is well-suited for applications that require high-performance storage with large amounts of data.
The large capacity of the drive makes it ideal for use in environments such as data centers, cloud storage, and virtualized environments where there is a need for fast and reliable storage. The 960GB capacity is also suitable for applications that require large amounts of data to be processed quickly, such as online transaction processing, data warehousing, and big data analytics.
The drive is based on Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash technology, which allows for a larger amount of data to be stored on the drive without sacrificing performance. MLC NAND flash is known for its high density and durability, making it an excellent choice for large capacity drives that need to withstand heavy workloads.
Hot Swap Capability for Easy Maintenance
The Dell 400-AUYL 960GB Read Intensive MLC SAS 12GBPS Hot Swap Solid State Drive features hot swap capability, which allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without interrupting the operation of the system. Hot swapping is the ability to replace a component of a system while it is still running, without requiring a system shutdown.
In the case of the Dell 400-AUYL drive, hot swap capability means that the drive can be replaced or upgraded without having to power down the server or storage system. This can save valuable time and effort, especially in mission-critical environments where downtime is not an option.
The hot swap capability of the Dell 400-AUYL drive is supported by the SAS interface, which allows for the drive to be removed and replaced while the system is still running. The SAS interface provides a high level of reliability and data protection, ensuring that the drive can be hot swapped without any loss of data.
In addition to its hot swap capability, the Dell 400-AUYL drive also features a hot-pluggable design, which allows for easy installation and removal of the drive. This can be especially useful for IT administrators who need to quickly replace or upgrade drives in a large-scale deployment.
Compatibility and System Requirements
The Dell 400-AUYL 960GB Read Intensive MLC SAS 12GBPS Hot Swap Solid State Drive is designed for use in Dell servers and storage systems that support SAS interfaces. It is compatible with a wide range of Dell PowerEdge servers and storage systems, including:
- PowerEdge R940, R840, R740, R740xd, R640, R540, R440, R340
- PowerEdge T640, T630, T440, T430
- PowerEdge M640, M640 VRTX, M830, M630, M530, M520, M420
The drive requires a SAS 12GBPS interface to achieve its maximum performance capabilities, so it is important to ensure that the server or storage system has a compatible SAS controller. It is also important to ensure that the server or storage system has sufficient power and cooling to support the drive, as it may consume more power and generate more heat than traditional hard disk drives.
The Dell 400-AUYL drive is a hot-swappable device, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the system is still running. However, to take advantage of this feature, the system must support hot-swap capability.
To install the drive, the system must have an available drive bay that is compatible with the drive’s form factor (2.5-inch) and connector type (SAS). The drive also requires a suitable operating system and file system that can support the drive’s capacity and performance characteristics.
