Description
More Information
The Dell 400-AXLG is a 12 terabyte hard drive that uses magnetic disk technology and supports a 12 Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS is a high-performance interface designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications. It is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces, and it allows for faster data transfer speeds and improved performance when working with large files or during heavy workloads.
The drive has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is considered to be standard for server-grade hard drives. This allows for faster data access and improved performance. The drive is capable of sequential read speeds of up to 210 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 180 MB/s, which allows for fast data transfer and improved performance when working with large files or during heavy workloads. Additionally, it also has a high random read IOPS performance which is suitable for read-intensive workloads, such as big data analytics, data warehousing, and archival storage.
The drive also includes advanced error correction and data protection features to ensure data integrity and reliability. Additionally, it supports a 12 Gbps SAS interface, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces, this provides faster access to data stored on the hard drive and improves the overall performance of the drive.
The drive also has a Large Form Factor (LFF) which means it has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for internal hard drives and is compatible with most servers, desktops, and laptops that have a 3.5-inch drive bay.
It’s important to note that the performance of the drive may vary depending on the system it’s used in, and the workloads being performed on the drive. The drive is designed for read-intensive workloads, such as big data analytics, data warehousing, and archival storage, which will see the best performance out of this drive.
Serial-Attached SCSI
The Dell 400-AXLG is a 12 terabyte hard drive that uses magnetic disk technology and supports a 12 Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS is a high-performance interface designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications. It is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces, and it allows for faster data transfer speeds and improved performance when working with large files or during heavy workloads.
SAS is a point-to-point interface, meaning that each device has its own dedicated connection to the host. This allows for faster data transfer speeds and improved performance compared to parallel SCSI. SAS also supports hot-swapping, which allows the drive to be replaced without having to power down the system, this increases the availability of the server and reduces the time it takes to service the server. SAS also supports multiple initiators and multiple targets, which means that multiple devices can communicate with the drive at the same time, this increases the drive’s ability to handle multiple tasks at the same time.
The drive also supports 12 Gbps SAS interface, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces, this provides faster access to data stored on the hard drive and improves the overall performance of the drive. The drive is also designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications, making it suitable for data centers, data warehousing, and other read-intensive workloads.
Additionally, the drive also has a Large Form Factor (LFF) which means it has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for internal hard drives and is compatible with most servers, desktops, and laptops that have a 3.5-inch drive bay.
High Compatibility
The Dell 400-AXLG 12TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS LFF hard drive is designed to be compatible with servers and other enterprise-level storage applications that use the SAS interface. It has a Large Form Factor (LFF) which means it has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for internal hard drives and is compatible with most servers, desktops, and laptops that have a 3.5-inch drive bay.
The drive is also compatible with servers and storage systems that support 12 Gbps SAS interface, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces, this provides faster access to data stored on the hard drive and improves the overall performance of the drive.
It’s important to check the compatibility of the drive before purchasing it to ensure that it will work with your current system. You should check your system or server’s technical specifications, to confirm that it supports 12 Gbps SAS interface and 3.5-inch LFF hard drives. You should also check that your system’s firmware and drivers are up-to-date to ensure compatibility with the drive.
Furthermore, it’s also important to check the RAID configuration for optimal performance. RAID 0, for example, offers improved performance by using data striping, which allows data to be written across multiple drives at the same time, increasing I/O performance. RAID 1 offers improved data redundancy by mirroring data across multiple drives, but this comes at the cost of reduced performance.
