Description
Details Information
The Dell 400-AXLJ 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS LFF (Large Form Factor) hard drive is a high-performance, high-capacity hard drive designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications.
The 12TB of storage capacity allows for large amounts of data to be stored on the drive, which is beneficial for applications that require high storage capacity, such as data warehousing, video editing, and other high-performance computing applications.
The SAS interface supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces. This means that the drive can transfer data faster and improve the overall performance of the drive. Additionally, it’s backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SAS-2 interfaces, which makes it suitable for use in legacy systems.
The LFF form factor of the drive is a standard size for internal hard drives, typically used in servers and other high-end systems. These drives are typically 3.5 inches in size and can be mounted in 3.5-inch drive bays. The LFF form factor drives are larger than the SFF (Small Form Factor) drives and can provide a higher storage density.
The drive also supports enclosure management, which allows for monitoring and controlling the temperature, voltage, and other environmental conditions of the drive enclosure. This can help to prevent hardware failures caused by environmental factors.
It’s important to note that for servers, the drive’s performance and reliability can be improved by using a RAID configuration. RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to be combined into a single logical unit for improved performance, data redundancy and/or increased storage capacity.
Serial-Attached SCSI
The Dell 400-AXLJ 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS LFF (Large Form Factor) hard drive uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) as its interface. SAS is a high-performance interface designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level storage applications. It is a point-to-point interface, which means that each device is connected directly to the host, rather than sharing a common bus like SATA drives. This allows for faster data transfer rates and improved performance.
The SAS interface supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces. This means that the drive can transfer data faster and improve the overall performance of the drive. Additionally, it’s backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SAS-2 interfaces, which makes it suitable for use in legacy systems.
SAS also supports multiple paths to the drive, which improves data availability and allows for automatic failover in case of a drive failure. This feature is particularly useful in servers and other high-availability environments where data availability is critical.
SAS also supports enclosure management, which allows for monitoring and controlling the temperature, voltage, and other environmental conditions of the drive enclosure.
General Compatibility
The Dell 400-AXLJ 12TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS LFF (Large Form Factor) hard drive is compatible with servers and other systems that support the SAS interface and have a LFF (Large Form Factor) drive bay.
The SAS interface is compatible with servers and systems that have a SAS controller or a SAS HBA (Host Bus Adapter) installed. SAS is a point-to-point interface, which means that each device is connected directly to the host, rather than sharing a common bus like SATA drives. This allows for faster data transfer rates and improved performance.
The drive is also backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SAS-2 interfaces, which makes it suitable for use in legacy systems that use these interfaces.
