Description
More Information
The Dell 400-AXLN is a 12 terabyte (TB) hard drive with a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). It uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-performance data storage interface that provides faster data transfer rates than its predecessor, the parallel SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) standard. The data transfer rate of SAS interface is 12 gigabits per second (GB/s).
It also has a buffer size of 256 megabytes (MB) which is used to temporarily store data and help improve the performance of the hard drive. It uses the 512E format, which means it has a physical sector size of 512 bytes, but it emulates 4K sectors to be more efficient with the new systems. The LFF stands for “large form factor”, which typically means it is a 3.5 inch drive.
This hard drive is designed to be compatible with Dell servers and storage systems that support the SAS interface, LFF form factor, 12GBPS data transfer rate, and 256MB buffer size. It’s well-suited for use in high-performance servers and storage systems that require large amounts of storage space and fast data transfer speeds. It is important to check the compatibility with the specific server or storage system you plan to use it in, as there may be additional requirements or compatibility issues to consider.
Server Mixed Use
The Dell 400-AXLN 12TB hard drive is a type of storage device that is designed to be used in servers. A server is a computer or system that manages network resources. Servers are often used in data centers, businesses and other organizations to store and manage data, host websites and applications, and provide services to other computers and devices on a network.
This product 12TB hard drive uses the SAS interface with a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GB/s), it has a buffer size of 256 megabytes (MB) and uses the 512E format (512 bytes per sector with emulation of 4K sectors) and LFF form factor. These features make it well-suited for use in high-performance servers and storage systems that require large amounts of storage space and fast data transfer speeds.
It’s recommended to check the compatibility with the server vendor’s website or consult with their support team before making the purchase, to ensure that the hard drive will work as intended in your specific setup.
Serial-Attached SCSI
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a data storage interface used to connect servers and storage systems. It is a point-to-point interface, meaning each device has its own dedicated connection to the host. SAS supports faster data transfer rates than its predecessor, the parallel SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) standard. The Dell 400-AXLN 12TB hard drive uses the SAS interface, which has a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GB/s). This allows for fast transfer of data to and from the hard drive, making it well-suited for use in high-performance servers and storage systems that require large amounts of storage space and fast data transfer speeds.
Additionally, the hard drive has a buffer size of 256 megabytes (MB) and uses the 512E format (512 bytes per sector with emulation of 4K sectors). These features help to improve the performance and reliability of the hard drive. It is important to confirm that the server or storage system you are planning to use it with supports SAS interface, LFF form factor, 12GBPS data transfer rate, and 256MB buffer size before making the purchase.
