Description
Product Overview
The Dell 8KC5T is a 1TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS (NL-SAS) hard drive designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage arrays. It features a 12Gbps SAS interface, making it suitable for high-performance applications that require reliable and fast storage. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features and benefits of the Dell 8KC5T hard drive.
Capacity
The Dell 8KC5T offers a capacity of 1TB, making it suitable for use in servers and storage arrays that require large amounts of storage. It uses a Near Line SAS interface, which is a hybrid of SAS and SATA technology, to provide faster performance than traditional SATA drives.
Rotational Speed
The Dell 8KC5T hard drive has a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is faster than many traditional SATA drives. This faster rotational speed allows for faster data transfer rates and quicker access to data.
Interface
The Dell 8KC5T uses a 12Gbps SAS interface, which is the latest SAS standard. This interface provides fast data transfer rates and high bandwidth, making it ideal for use in enterprise-level servers and storage arrays. Additionally, the 12Gbps SAS interface is backwards-compatible with older SAS and SATA drives, allowing for easy integration into existing storage systems.
Form Factor
The Dell 8KC5T hard drive uses a 2.5-inch form factor, which is smaller than the traditional 3.5-inch form factor used in many enterprise-level servers and storage arrays. This smaller form factor allows for greater storage density, as more drives can be installed in the same amount of physical space. Additionally, the smaller form factor reduces power consumption and heat generation, making it more environmentally-friendly.
Reliability
The Dell 8KC5T hard drive is designed for enterprise-level use and offers a high level of reliability. It features a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating of 1.4 million hours, indicating that it is designed to operate reliably for extended periods of time. Additionally, it features a rotational vibration sensor that helps ensure data accuracy and integrity.
Compatibility
The Dell 8KC5T hard drive is compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and storage arrays. It can be used as a direct replacement for older SAS and SATA drives, making it easy to upgrade existing storage systems. Additionally, it is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
In summary, the Dell 8KC5T 1TB 7.2K RPM Near Line SAS 12Gbps hard drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage arrays. Its 1TB capacity, 7,200 RPM rotational speed, 12Gbps SAS interface, and small 2.5-inch form factor make it a versatile and reliable option for a wide range of applications. Whether you need to upgrade an existing storage system or build a new one from scratch, the Dell 8KC5T is a solid choice for high-performance, reliable storage.
