Description
Server Mixed Use
The Dell 400-AXLO 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.
High-performance
The Dell 400-AXLO 12TB hard drive has several features that contribute to its performance. The rotational speed of 7,200 RPM allows for faster access to stored data. The SAS interface with a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GB/s) provides fast data transfer speeds, which is important for high-performance servers and storage systems that require large amounts of storage space and fast data transfer speeds.
A buffer size of 256 megabytes (MB) can also improve the performance of the hard drive by temporarily storing data and reducing the number of times the hard drive needs to access the disk platters to retrieve data. The 512E format (512 bytes per sector with emulation of 4K sectors) also helps to improve the performance by being more efficient with the new systems.
Additionally, the LFF (large form factor) form factor is generally used in servers and storage systems, which allows for more storage capacity in the same physical space.
However, the hard drive’s performance will also depend on the specific server or storage system it is used in, as well as the workload and usage conditions. It’s important to understand the specific requirements and workload of the server or storage system before deciding on the hard drive.
General Compatibility
The Dell 400-AXLO 12TB 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 may also be compatible with other brands of servers and storage systems that support the same specifications and interfaces.
However, it’s important to check the compatibility of this hard drive with the specific server or storage system you plan to use it in as there may be additional requirements or compatibility issues to consider. For example, the hard drive bay, the firmware version of the system, the power requirements, and the RAID level support of the system.
It’s recommended to check the compatibility with the 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.
