Description
Hot Plug HDD
The Dell 400-BHFC is a 16 terabyte (TB) hard drive that has a rotation speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM) and uses a SATA interface with a 6 gigabyte per second (GB/s) transfer rate.
One of the key features of this drive is that it is hot-pluggable. A hot-pluggable drive is one that can be removed and replaced without having to power down the system it is installed in. This allows for easy maintenance and upgrades of the storage system without having to disrupt normal operation.
This feature is particularly useful in environments where high availability is a requirement. It allows for the replacement of a failed drive without any interruption of service, which can help to minimize downtime and ensure data availability.
Additionally, SATA interface is a standard interface for consumer-grade storage devices and is widely used in consumer desktop and laptop computers, as well as in entry-level servers and storage systems. The 6GB/s transfer rate is the standard for SATA interface, which allows for fast data transfer rates.
All these features combined make the Dell 400-BHFC a hot-pluggable hard drive that can handle demanding data storage and retrieval tasks in environments where high availability is a requirement and data integrity is a priority.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is an interface used to connect storage devices, such as hard drives and solid-state drives, to a computer or server. It is a standard interface for consumer-grade storage devices and is widely used in consumer desktop and laptop computers, as well as in entry-level servers and storage systems.
SATA uses a point-to-point connection, which allows for faster data transfer rates compared to parallel interfaces. It supports data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps and can connect up to 2 devices on a single SATA bus. Additionally, it supports features such as hot-plugging, which allows for the replacement of a failed drive without having to power down the system.
SATA also has a lower power consumption compared to SCSI or SAS interfaces. It also offers cost-effective storage solutions, it is a widely adopted standard and it is supported by most motherboards, making it easy to install and use.
SATA is widely used in consumer desktop and laptop computers, as well as in entry-level servers and storage systems. It is also backward compatible with SAS and SCSI interfaces, making it easy to integrate SATA drives into existing systems that use these interfaces.
Exceptional Reliability
The Dell 400-BHFC is a 16 terabyte (TB) hard drive that has a rotation speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM) and uses a SATA interface with a 6 gigabyte per second (GB/s) transfer rate. It is designed for exceptional reliability.
One of the key factors that contribute to the exceptional reliability of this drive is its high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) rate, which is a measure of how long a drive can operate before failing. High MTBF rate means that the drive is less likely to fail, which is important in environments where data availability is a priority.
Another factor that contributes to the exceptional reliability of this drive is its use of advanced error correction technologies such as RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) and Advanced Format. These technologies help to detect and correct data errors, which can help to prevent data corruption and improve data integrity.
Additionally, this drive is built with high-quality components and it is rigorously tested to ensure that it meets Dell’s high standards for reliability. It may also come with Dell-specific features such as enhanced data protection and advanced power management that are designed to optimize the performance and reliability of the drive.
