Description
SAS-12GBPS Interface
The SAS-12GBPS interface of the Dell 8YWH3 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E Hard Drive refers to the speed at which data can be transferred between the hard drive and the computer system. SAS-12GBPS stands for Serial Attached SCSI 12 Gigabit per second, which is a high-speed data transfer standard that allows for faster data transfer rates than traditional SAS interfaces.
This hard drive has a storage capacity of 2.4TB and a rotation speed of 10,000 RPM, which makes it suitable for high-performance applications such as data warehousing, business intelligence, and large-scale data storage. It also has a 256MB cache and uses the 512E format, which allows for increased capacity and improved data integrity.
Comparison to Similar Drives
The Dell 8YWH3 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E Hard Drive is a high-performance enterprise-class hard drive that is designed for use in data center and other demanding environments. It offers a high storage capacity of 2.4TB, fast data transfer speeds of 12 Gbps SAS, and a high rotational speed of 10,000 RPM.
When compared to similar drives, the Dell 8YWH3 stands out for its high storage capacity, high data transfer speeds, and high rotational speed. For example, other similar drives like the Seagate ST2400MM0128 2.4TB 10K SAS 12Gbps 512n Hard drive, or the HGST Ultrastar C10K1800 2.4TB SAS 12Gbps 10K RPM 512n Hard Drive, have similar specs but with lower storage capacity, or lower data transfer speeds.
Another similar drive is the Dell 0F38C1 2.4TB 10K SAS 12Gbps 512n Hard Drive, which also has similar storage capacity, data transfer speeds, and rotational speed, but with some difference in interface, cache size and form factor.
In terms of performance, the Dell 8YWH3 Hard Drive is suitable for use in applications that require high IOPS and high data transfer rates, such as high-performance computing, databases, and big data analytics.
It’s worth noting that this drive supports 512E format which means it uses 4K physical sectors, but emulates 512 bytes sectors, allowing for higher storage capacity and better performance.
Power consumption
The power consumption of the Dell 8YWH3 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 256MB 512E Hard Drive will depend on various factors such as the operating system, the workload, and the number of drives in the system. However, in general, hard drives consume a small amount of power compared to other components in a computer system.
During idle state, this hard drive typically consumes around 6.8W and during active state it typically consumes around 8.5W. It is important to note that these are approximate values and actual power consumption may vary depending on the specific usage.
When comparing hard drives, it’s important to look at the power consumption in relation to the performance and storage capacity, to get an idea of how efficient the drive is.
It’s also worth noting that this drive supports SAS 12Gbps interface which in general has lower power consumption than SAS 6Gbps and SATA interface, so it could be considered as energy efficient hard drive.
