Description
Storage Type and Capacity
The Dell 63P4K 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD is a type of solid state drive (SSD) that uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface to connect to the host computer. The drive has a storage capacity of 7.68TB, which means it can store a large amount of data.
The drive uses TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND flash memory technology, which stores three bits of data per memory cell. This type of memory is less expensive than MLC (Multi-Level Cell) and SLC (Single-Level Cell) memory, but it also has a lower endurance and write performance.
The drive is designed for read-intensive workloads, meaning that it is optimized for applications that require frequent reading of data, but not as much writing. This makes the drive suitable for use cases such as caching, data warehousing, and virtualization.
The drive is hot-plug capable, which means it can be replaced without having to power down the server. This feature is useful in enterprise environments, where uptime is critical and downtime needs to be minimized.
Interface and Data Transfer Rate
The Dell 63P4K 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface to connect to the host computer. SAS is a point-to-point interface that is designed for high-performance storage devices, such as hard drives and solid state drives. It supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps, which is faster than the 6 Gbps of the SATA interface.
The SAS interface supports multiple data transfer protocols, including SCSI, SATA, and SATA Express, and it is backward compatible with the older parallel SCSI interface. SAS also provides advanced features such as dual-port support, which allows for multiple host connections, and support for multiple initiators, which allows for multiple host buses to share the same storage devices.
The drive supports data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which means it can transfer data at a maximum rate of 12 Giga-bytes per second. This allows for faster data access and improved system performance for read-intensive workloads.
Compatibility and Certification
The Dell 63P4K 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD is designed to be compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and storage systems that support SAS interface. This compatibility allows for easy integration of the drive into existing IT infrastructure and can be used as replacement or upgrade for the storage capacity.
It’s certification, Dell typically certifies the drive with a wide range of hardware, operating systems and application to ensure that the drive has been tested and verified to work properly with these systems. This certification process helps ensure that the drive will work seamlessly with the host system and provide the expected performance and reliability.
Additionally, the drive is also typically certified by major industry standards organizations such as TUV Rheinland, CE, FCC, VCCI, and RoHS, which indicate that the drive meets certain standards for safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental performance.
