Description
More Information
The Dell GDDTD 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12 Gbps 512MB Internal Hard Drive is a high-capacity, high-performance hard drive that is designed to work with Dell servers that support the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and 12 Gbps data transfer rate. SAS is a high-speed data storage interface that is commonly used in enterprise storage systems.
The drive has a storage capacity of 16 terabytes, which is a large amount of storage space that can be used to store a wide variety of data types. It also has a rotation speed of 7.2K RPM, which is a measure of how fast the drive’s platters spin. The faster the platters spin, the faster data can be accessed from the drive. A 7.2K RPM hard drive is considered to be a faster hard drive than a 5.4K RPM hard drive.
The drive has a cache of 512MB, which is a high-speed memory buffer that helps to improve the performance of the drive by allowing it to store frequently accessed data in a faster and more easily accessible location.
It is an internal hard drive, meaning that it is designed to be installed inside the server and it is not meant to be removed or replaced without shutting down the server.
The drive supports advanced features such as Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and TCG Enterprise which helps to improve the performance and security of the drive. SED encrypts data at rest, so that in case of theft or loss of the drive.
SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive
The Dell GDDTD 16TB 7.2K RPM 12 Gbps 512MB Internal Hard Drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS is a high-speed data storage interface that is commonly used in enterprise storage systems. It is designed to work with servers that support the SAS interface and 12 Gbps data transfer rate.
The SAS interface is a point-to-point connection, meaning that each device is connected directly to the controller, allowing for faster data transfer rates and improved performance. It also supports advanced features such as hot-swapping and dual-porting, which allows for easy maintenance and improved system availability.
SAS interface supports also features such as SCSI commands, this allows for compatibility with SCSI software and applications.
This product 16TB 7.2K RPM 12 Gbps 512MB Internal Hard Drive is optimized for use in enterprise storage systems, it has a high-speed cache of 512MB, and it’s an internal hard drive, meaning that it is designed to be installed inside the server and it is not meant to be removed or replaced without shutting down the server.
Wide Compatibility
The Dell GDDTD 16TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12 Gbps 512MB Internal Hard Drive is compatible with Dell servers that support the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and 12 Gbps data transfer rate. It is specifically designed to work with these servers, and it is important to check the technical documentation for the specific server model to ensure compatibility.
It’s worth noting that the system must have enough bays or be able to support the size of the hard drive, and the hardware must support the SAS interface and 12 Gbps data transfer rate, as well as the 7.2K RPM speed.
It’s also important to check the firmware and drivers of the server are up to date and compatible with the hard drive. In addition, the hard drive should be used in a RAID configuration for data redundancy and protection in case of drive failure.
