Performance characteristics of the Dell Hard Drive
The Dell 400-AVCN Hard Disk is designed for high performance and fast data access. Here are some key performance characteristics:
- Spindle Speed: The hard disk has a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, which allows for faster data access and improved performance.
- Data Transfer Rate: The hard disk has a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps SAS interface, which is faster than 6 Gbps SAS and provides faster data transfer rates.
- Buffer: The hard disk has a 256MB buffer, which allows for faster data transfer rates and improved performance.
- Rotational Vibration Tolerance (RVT): The hard disk has a Rotational Vibration Tolerance (RVT) which allows it to handle higher levels of vibration without impacting the performance.
- Seek Time: The hard disk has an average seek time of 3 ms, which allows for faster data access and improved performance.
- Latency: The hard disk has a low latency of 2.0 ms, which allows for faster data access and improved performance.
- IOPS: The hard disk can provide high IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) which makes it suitable for demanding and high-performance workloads.
- Sustained Transfer Rate: The hard disk can provide high sustained transfer rates which is beneficial for large data transfers
Reliability and durability of the Dell HDD
The Dell 400-AVCN Hard Disk is designed to be a reliable and durable storage solution. The hard disk is built with high-quality components and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that it can withstand the demands of a wide range of applications and environments. Here are some key reliability and durability characteristics:
- MTBF: Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is a measure of the reliability of a device, and it is often used to indicate the expected lifetime of a hard disk. The Dell 400-AVCN Hard Disk has a high MTBF rating, meaning that it is designed to run for a long time without failure.
- Operating and non-operating shock: The hard disk can withstand operating and non-operating shocks. Operating shock is the level of shock that the disk can withstand while it is running, and non-operating shock is the level of shock that the disk can withstand while it is off. The Dell 400-AVCN Hard Disk is designed to withstand shocks of up to 70 G and 300 G, respectively, which is significantly higher than the industry standards.
- Operating temperature: The hard disk can operate in a wide range of temperatures, from 5° to 55°C (41° to 131°F), allowing it to function in a variety of environments.
- Operating humidity: The hard disk is designed to operate in a wide range of humidity levels, from 5% to 95% non-condensing.
- Vibration: The hard disk is designed to withstand vibrations, which is important for applications that may be subject to vibrations and shocks.
- Error Correction Code (ECC): The hard disk uses ECC to detect and correct errors that may occur during data storage. ECC works by adding extra bits of information called check bits to the data, which can be used to detect and correct errors.
- S.M.A.R.T: Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) is a monitoring system built into the hard disk to detect potential failures. The system analyzes various parameters of the hard disk, such as temperature and spin-up time, and generates a warning when a potential failure is detected.
