Description
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a data storage interface used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives to a host computer or a storage controller. SAS is a point-to-point interface, meaning that each device is connected directly to the host, rather than through a shared bus. This allows for faster data transfer speeds and increased reliability compared to traditional parallel SCSI.
SAS uses a serial signaling technology, which allows for faster data transfer rates and longer cable lengths than parallel SCSI. SAS also supports multiple initiators and targets, which allows for multiple devices to be connected to a single host. This allows for increased scalability and flexibility in storage configurations. SAS supports both SAS and SATA (Serial ATA) devices, which means that SAS can connect to a wide variety of storage devices.
SAS also supports advanced features such as hot-plugging, where devices can be removed and replaced without shutting down the system, and dual-porting, which allows for redundancy in the event of a failure.
In summary, SAS is a high-performance, high-reliability data storage interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It uses a point-to-point, serial signaling technology that allows for faster data transfer rates, longer cable lengths, and increased scalability and flexibility in storage configurations. It supports both SAS and SATA devices, and advanced features such as hot-plugging and dual-porting.
Hot Swap HDD
Hot-swap refers to the ability to replace a component in a computer system without having to shut down the system. The 400-BHJD Dell 16TB 7.2K RPM ISE SAS-12GBPS is a hard drive offered by Dell that has a storage capacity of 16 terabytes (TB), rotates at 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), and uses a SAS interface with a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second (GBps). The ISE in the model number stands for “Enterprise” which is the category of hard drives that are meant for enterprise storage applications.
Hot-swap 400-BHJD Dell 16TB refers to a Dell-branded 16 Terabyte hard drive that can be removed and replaced from a system without shutting it down. The part number is used to identify this specific model of hard drive. Hot-swap capability allows for easy maintenance and upgrades to the storage system without interruption to the operation of the system.
Exceptional Reliability
The “Exceptional Reliability” likely refers to the high level of dependability that the 400-BHJD Dell 16TB 7.2K RPM ISE SAS-12GBPS hard drive is designed to provide. This hard drive is intended for use in enterprise-level storage systems, where reliability and uptime are critical.
The 7.2K RPM, SAS-12GBPS interface, and ISE (Enterprise Value) all contribute to the hard drive’s dependability by providing fast data transfer speeds and improved durability. Additionally, the large 16TB capacity allows for storage of a large amount of data. All of these features together make the hard drive suitable for use in critical applications where data loss or downtime can result in significant business impact.
