Description
Capacity and Performance
“Capacity and Performance” refers to the storage capacity and the speed at which the hard drive can read and write data.
The Dell 400-AVBX is a 2.4TB hard drive, which means that it can store up to 2.4 terabytes of data. This is a large amount of storage and can be used to store a wide range of data, including large files such as videos, music, and photographs, as well as large databases and business data.
The hard drive has a rotation speed of 10,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which means that the disk inside the hard drive is spinning at 10,000 rotations per minute. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive can access stored data. A 10,000 RPM hard drive is considered to be a high-performance drive, and is suitable for use in data centers, servers and high-performance workstations.
The hard drive also has a SAS-12GBPS interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface that allows for faster data transfer rates, and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gbps.
Additionally, the hard drive has a 512E sector size, which is an advanced format that improves the efficiency and performance of the drive by increasing the amount of data that can be stored in each sector. And, it has a buffer size of 256MB, which means that the hard drive has a buffer memory of 256MB, this improves data transfer speed and performance.
Interface and Connectivity
“Interface and Connectivity” refers to the type of interface and the way in which the hard drive connects to a computer or other device.
The Dell 400-AVBX hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface that is commonly used in servers and high-performance workstations. SAS is similar to the SATA interface used in most consumer-grade hard drives, but it offers faster data transfer rates and supports more advanced features such as dual-port connectivity, which increases data availability and improves system performance.
The hard drive also supports the SAS-12GBPS interface, which is a faster version of the SAS interface that supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps. This makes it suitable for use in high-performance applications such as data centers and servers, where fast data transfer rates are crucial.
The Dell 400-AVBX hard drive is also designed to be connected to a computer or other device via a SAS host bus adapter. This is a hardware component that connects the hard drive to the computer’s motherboard and enables communication between the hard drive and the computer’s operating system.
Form Factor and Compatibility
“Form Factor and Compatibility” refers to the physical size and shape of the hard drive and the types of systems or devices it can be used with.
The Dell 400-AVBX hard drive has a Small Form Factor (SFF) design, which means that it is smaller in size compared to other hard drives. The SFF design allows for more drives to be installed in a given amount of space, this makes it suitable for use in servers, data centers and other high-density computing environments.
The hard drive is also compatible with systems that support the SAS-12GBPS interface and has a 2.5 inch form factor. This means that it can be used with servers, workstations, and other systems that have a SAS host bus adapter and a 2.5 inch drive bay.
It’s important to note that although the drive is compatible with the above-mentioned systems, it’s always recommended to check with the system’s documentation or the manufacturer to ensure compatibility with the specific system you intend to use it on.
Additionally, the hard drive is also compatible with RAID (redundant array of independent disks) systems, which are used to improve data availability and performance by combining multiple hard drives into a single logical unit. RAID systems can also provide data protection by creating redundant copies of data across multiple drives.
