Product Description
The Dell 462-6771 4TB SAS NL (Near-line) Hard Drive is a high-capacity, high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise servers and storage systems. With a large storage capacity of 4TB, it is ideal for data centers and other organizations that require large amounts of storage for their near-line storage needs.This hard drive is a Near-line SAS (NL-SAS) hard drive which is a cost-effective storage option for data that requires less performance than primary storage but still requires the protection of a SAS interface.
The hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and supports a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. It also has a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM, which allows for fast data access and faster system boot-up. SAS hard drives have a more robust error handling mechanism and are more tolerant to vibration and shock, providing better protection for your data.
The Dell 4TB SAS NL hard drive is built to meet the demands of high-performance data storage and is designed to provide reliable, high-speed data storage for near-line applications. It is easy to install and compatible with most major server operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and VMware.Additionally, the hard drive is hot-swappable, which means it can be easily replaced without having to power off the server or storage system. This feature ensures that the server or storage system remains online and operational during drive replacement, minimizing downtime.The hard drive also comes with a warranty and support from Dell, providing customers with peace of mind and the assurance that they are making a solid investment in their data storage
High-speed data transfer
Performance refers to the speed and efficiency of the Dell 462-6771 4TB SAS NL Hard Drive in carrying out its functions. The key metrics to consider when evaluating the performance of a hard drive include the data transfer rate, access time, and seek time.The Dell hard drive has a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps, which is the standard for SAS hard drives. This means that it can transfer data at a faster rate than SATA hard drives, which have a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. It also has a 7.2K RPM spindle speed which is relatively fast for an internal hard drive, this allows for faster data access and faster system boot-up.
Reliability refers to the ability of the Dell 4TB SAS NL Hard Drive to consistently perform its functions without failure. Factors that contribute to the reliability of a hard drive include the mean time between failures (MTBF) and the error rate.
The MTBF of the Dell hard drive is not specified, however SAS hard drives in general have a higher MTBF than SATA hard drives. Additionally, SAS hard drives have a more robust error handling mechanism and are more tolerant to vibration and shock, providing better protection for your data.Furthermore, Dell hard drives undergo rigorous testing and validation to ensure that they meet Dell’s high standards for performance and reliability. So, you can trust that Dell 4TB SAS NL hard drive will provide a reliable and high-performance storage solution for your near-line storage needs.
Scalability
Hot-swap capability refers to the ability of the Dell 462-6771 4TB SAS NL Hard Drive to be easily replaced without having to power off the server or storage system. This feature is also known as “hot-plugging” and it allows for quick and easy replacement of faulty or failed drives without any interruption to the operation of the system.The hot-swap capability of the Del hard drive allows for easy replacement of the hard drive without having to power down the server or storage system. This feature is particularly useful for organizations that need to minimize downtime and maintain the availability of their systems at all times.
To swap a hard drive, you need to remove the drive from the server or storage system while it’s powered on, this can be done by simply pulling out the drive from the bay, then replace it with a new one and the system will automatically detect the new drive and start using it.Additionally, the Dell 4TB SAS NL hard drive is hot-swappable, which means it can be easily replaced without having to power off the server or storage system. This feature ensures that the server or storage system remains online and operational during drive replacement, minimizing downtime.
