Description
Advanced Format Technology and 512E Format
Advanced Format Technology and 512E Format are technologies used to improve the performance and reliability of hard drives.
Advanced Format Technology is a method of formatting hard drives that increases the physical sector size of the drive from 512 bytes to 4,096 bytes (4K). This change in sector size results in a more efficient and reliable storage of data, and helps to reduce the amount of disk space wasted due to disk alignment.
The 400-AVCB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 256MB SFF Hard Disk Drive uses the 512E format, which is an advanced format that uses 4,096 byte sectors internally, but still presents itself to the host as having 512 byte sectors. This allows for better performance and improved reliability in the drive, while also ensuring backward compatibility with legacy systems that only support 512 byte sectors.
This technology helps to increase the accuracy of the data stored on the drive, and can also help to reduce the likelihood of data errors. Additionally, it allows for more efficient storage of data on the drive, which can help to improve performance and increase the drive’s overall capacity.
Environmental and Power Requirements
Environmental and power requirements refer to the conditions and resources necessary for the 400-AVCB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 256MB SFF Hard Disk Drive to function properly.
- Operating Temperature: The hard drive has an operating temperature range of 5°C to 55°C (41°F to 131°F). This means that the drive can function properly within this temperature range, but outside of this range, the drive may not function correctly or may be damaged.
- Storage Temperature: The hard drive has a storage temperature range of -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F). This means that the drive can be stored within this temperature range without being damaged.
- Operating Humidity: The hard drive has an operating humidity range of 5% to 90% non-condensing. This means that the drive can function properly within this humidity range, but outside of this range, the drive may not function correctly or may be damaged.
- Power Requirements: The hard drive requires a voltage of +12V DC, and a current of 1.5A. It also requires a power of 18W max.
- Energy Star: The hard drive is Energy Star certified which means it meets the energy efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
