Description
More Information
The 400-BKZX 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hot Plug Hard Drive is a high-capacity, high-performance hard drive that is used for data storage. It has a capacity of 18 terabytes, which is a large amount of storage space. The drive’s rotation speed is 7200 RPM, which is a relatively fast speed for a hard drive. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a type of interface that is used to connect the drive to a computer’s motherboard. The drive also supports a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second, which is quite fast. Additionally, the drive is hot-plug capable, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the computer is still running.
Hot-Swap Capability
This is the part number for a 18 terabyte (TB) 7.2 kilohertz (K) rotation per minute (RPM) serial attached SCSI (SAS) hard drive with a 12 gigabyte per second (GBPS) data transfer rate and hot-plugging capability. The hard drive is a high-capacity, high-performance storage option that can be quickly and easily added or replaced in a server without having to power down the system. The SAS interface provides faster data transfer speeds and improved reliability compared to other types of hard drives.
High Performance & RAID Facilities
The Dell 18TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hot Plug Hard Drive is designed for high performance in data center environments. The 7200 RPM rotation speed and 12 Gbps SAS interface provide fast data transfer speeds, allowing for quick access to large amounts of stored data. The large 18TB capacity also allows for high storage density, making it a good option for storing large amounts of data. However, as it is a 7200 RPM hard drive, it will be slower than 10K or 15K SAS hard drive in terms of random I/O performance. This hard drive is better suited for large sequential workloads such as Backup and Archival data, video surveillance, and large scale data warehousing.
It’s worth mentioning that the performance of the hard drive also depends on the system it’s installed on, the RAID controller and the backplane of the system. Also, if the hard drive is used in a RAID array, the performance may be affected by the RAID level used.
