Description
Performance
The performance of the Dell 400-BDKV 12TB hard drive is determined by a combination of factors, including its rotational speed, data transfer rate, and form factor.
- Rotational speed: The drive’s 7200 RPM spindle speed means that the platters inside the drive rotate at 7200 revolutions per minute. This results in faster data access times, as the drive’s read/write head can access data on the platters more quickly.
- Data transfer rate: The drive’s SATA-6GBPS interface allows for a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbps, which is faster than the previous SATA-3GBPS interface. This means that data can be transferred to and from the drive more quickly.
- Form factor: The drive’s 3.5-inch form factor is a standard size for internal hard drives. This form factor allows the drive to fit in most standard drive bays and connect to the system’s data and power cables.
- Hot-Plug capability: The drive can be replaced without shutting down the system, which makes it more convenient and reduces downtime.
More Information
The Dell 400-BDKV 12TB hard drive is a high-capacity storage solution designed for use in Dell servers and storage systems. It is a 3.5-inch form factor drive, which is a standard size for internal hard drives, and it can be easily installed in most standard drive bays.
The drive has a storage capacity of 12TB, which allows for large amounts of data to be stored on the drive. It also has a 7200 RPM spindle speed, which means the platters inside the drive rotate at 7200 revolutions per minute. This results in faster data access times, as the drive’s read/write head can access data on the platters more quickly.
Additionally, the drive has a SATA-6GBPS interface, which allows for a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. This is faster than the previous SATA-3GBPS interface and allows for faster data transfer to and from the drive.
The drive also features hot-plug capability, which allows for easy drive replacement without having to shut down the system. This can reduce downtime and increase the system’s availability.
The drive also supports hardware-based encryption which can secure your data from unauthorized access and also supports Power Loss Data Protection which helps prevent data loss in case of power outages.
Reliability
The reliability of the Dell 400-BDKV 12TB hard drive is determined by a combination of factors, including the quality of the drive’s components, the drive’s design, and the manufacturer’s testing and quality assurance processes.
- Quality of components: The drive’s components, such as the platters, read/write head, and electronic components, are manufactured to high standards to ensure that they will perform reliably over time.
- Drive design: The drive’s design, including its form factor, spindle speed, and data transfer rate, are optimized to provide reliable performance and high data access and transfer speeds.
- Manufacturer’s testing and quality assurance: Dell conducts rigorous testing and quality assurance on all of its hard drives, including this
product, to ensure that they meet or exceed industry standards for reliability. - Power Loss Data Protection: it helps prevent data loss in case of power outages.
- Hardware-based encryption: it secure your data from unauthorized access
It is important to note that no storage device can be completely immune to data loss or failure and regular backups are recommended to minimize the risk of data loss.
