Description
Product Information
The 401-ABDF is a self-encrypting internal hard drive designed for use in Dell PowerEdge servers. This 1.2TB hard drive has a 10K RPM speed, a SAS 12Gbps interface, and a 512N format. The drive comes in a 2.5-inch form factor with a hybrid tray that allows it to fit into a 3.5-inch drive bay. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the various features and specifications of the Dell 401-ABDF self-encrypting hard drive.
SAS 12Gbps Interface
The 401-ABDF Dell self-encrypting hard drive features a SAS 12Gbps interface, which is a high-speed interface that allows for fast data transfer between the hard drive and the server. This interface is particularly useful in enterprise settings where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and efficiently. The SAS 12Gbps interface is also backwards compatible with SAS 6Gbps and SAS 3Gbps, which allows for the drive to be used in older servers that may not have the latest technology.
10K RPM Speed
The 10K RPM speed of the 401-ABDF hard drive refers to the number of revolutions per minute that the disk platters inside the hard drive spin. A higher RPM means that the hard drive can read and write data faster, which is important in enterprise settings where there are multiple users accessing the server at the same time. The 10K RPM speed also helps to reduce latency and increase overall system performance.
512N Format
The 401-ABDF self-encrypting hard drive uses the 512N format, which refers to the number of bytes that are stored per sector on the disk platters. The 512N format is the industry standard and is used by most hard drives on the market today. The 512N format allows for larger capacity hard drives to be built and also provides faster access to data on the disk platters.
Self-Encrypting Drive
One of the key features of the 401-ABDF hard drive is that it is a self-encrypting drive. This means that all data that is stored on the hard drive is automatically encrypted using the AES-256 encryption standard. Encryption is important in enterprise settings where sensitive data needs to be protected from unauthorized access. The self-encrypting feature of the 401-ABDF hard drive ensures that data is always protected, even if the hard drive is stolen or misplaced.
Hybrid Carrier Form Factor
The 401-ABDF hard drive comes in a hybrid carrier form factor, which means that it can be used in both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. The hybrid carrier allows the hard drive to be easily installed into a variety of different servers, which is particularly useful in enterprise settings where servers may be upgraded or replaced frequently.
2.5-Inch Form Factor
The 401-ABDF hard drive comes in a 2.5-inch form factor, which is smaller than traditional 3.5-inch hard drives. The smaller form factor allows for more hard drives to be installed in a server, which increases storage capacity and allows for better use of server space. The 2.5-inch form factor also reduces power consumption and heat output, which is important in enterprise settings where servers are often run continuously.
Hybrid Tray
The 401-ABDF hard drive comes with a hybrid tray that allows the drive to fit into a 3.5-inch drive bay. The hybrid tray is designed to be easily installed and removed, which allows for quick and easy upgrades or replacements of hard drives.
