Description
High Performance
The Dell 400-BJKW 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS hard drive is designed to provide high-performance data storage and transfer capabilities. The SAS 12GB/s interface provides a fast data transfer rate of up to 12 Gbps, which is faster than previous versions of SAS, allowing for faster data transfer to and from the hard drive. Additionally, the hard drive has a 512MB cache buffer which helps to improve overall performance and increase the drive’s sustained data transfer rate up to 270MB/s. The 7200 RPM spindle speed also contributes to faster data access times, which is important for applications that require quick data access, such as databases and virtualization.
The high-capacity of 16TB also allows for the storage of large amounts of data, which is important for applications that require large storage capacity such as video surveillance, data analytics and backups.
The advanced format 512e sector technology improves the drive’s overall performance and reliability by using larger physical sectors, allowing for better error correction and improved data integrity. This feature helps to ensure that data is stored and retrieved accurately and quickly.
The actual performance of the drive will depend on multiple factors such as the system configurations, the number of hard drives in the array, and the type of workload, but in general the Dell 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS hard drive is a high-performance solution for enterprise-class servers and storage arrays.
Capability
The “capability” of the Dell 400-BJKW 16TB hard drive refers to its ability to perform a wide range of storage-related tasks, including data storage, data transfer, data protection, and data management. Some specific capabilities of this hard drive include:
High-capacity storage: With a large storage capacity of 16TB, this hard drive can store a large amount of data, making it suitable for use in high-density storage environments such as data centers and cloud storage systems.
Data protection: The hard drive supports various data protection features such as RAID, which helps to protect data against disk failures and other types of errors.
Scalability: The SAS interface allows for the connection of multiple hard drives in a single storage array, which improves scalability of the storage system. The hot-swap feature also allows for replacement without shutting down the system, improving the overall availability and serviceability of the drive.
Reliability: The hard drive’s MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is 2 million hours, which is a measure of its reliability and durability. It also comes with a 5-year warranty. The advanced format 512e sector technology improves the drive’s overall performance and reliability by using larger physical sectors, allowing for better error correction and improved data integrity.
The Dell 16TB hard drive is a high-performance, high-capacity hard drive that offers a wide range of capabilities suitable for enterprise-class servers and storage arrays. It offers large storage capacity, fast data transfer speeds, data protection features, scalability and reliability.
Hot Swap
The Dell 400-BJKW 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS hard drive is designed to be hot-swappable, which means it can be replaced without shutting down the system. This feature is particularly useful in enterprise-class servers and storage arrays, where downtime needs to be minimized. The drive is also a Large Form Factor (LFF) drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, which is larger than the Small Form Factor (SFF) drives and typically used for larger storage applications.
Hot-swapping can be done through the use of a SAS controller or HBA (Host Bus Adapter) that supports hot-swapping. It allows the system to recognize the new drive and to start using it without interruption. This feature also allows for easy replacement of a failed hard drive with minimal disruption to the system and easy expansion of storage capacity by adding additional hard drives to the system.
It’s worth noting that, even though the drive is hot-swappable, it’s important to follow proper procedures and precautions when replacing a hard drive, such as first shutting down the system, unmounting the drive, and so on.
The hot-swap feature on the Dell 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Large Form Factor hard drive allows for the replacement of a failed hard drive or the addition of a new hard drive without shutting down the system, improving the overall availability and serviceability of the drive. This feature can be especially useful in large storage applications which require minimal downtime.
