Description
Product overview of Storage Drive
The Dell GK6JN 600GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512N SFF Hard Drive is designed specifically for servers. It is a high-performance hard drive that is suitable for use in enterprise-level environments that require fast and reliable data storage. In this article, we will explore the features of the Dell GK6JN hard drive in detail.
Dell GK6JN 600GB SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive
The Dell GK6JN hard drive is a Small Form Factor (SFF) drive that measures 2.5 inches in size. It has a storage capacity of 600GB, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data. The drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface that supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps. This interface is designed to provide high-speed data transfer between the hard drive and the server, making it ideal for use in enterprise environments where fast data access is critical.
The hard drive has a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which is much faster than the standard 7,200 RPM found in most consumer-grade hard drives. This high speed helps to reduce data access times, which is essential in applications that require fast data retrieval, such as databases and virtualized environments.
One notable feature of the Dell GK6JN hard drive is its 512 Native (512N) format. This format is an industry-standard that allows for more efficient use of the hard drive’s storage space. In a 512N hard drive, each sector on the drive is 512 bytes in size, which is the same as the traditional format used in hard drives. However, in newer hard drives, the sector size has increased to 4KB, which can cause compatibility issues with older systems. The 512N format allows the hard drive to be compatible with both older and newer systems.
Features of Dell GK6JN 600GB HDD
SAS Interface
The Dell GK6JN hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface that provides up to 12 Gbps of data transfer. SAS is commonly used in enterprise environments that require fast and reliable data storage. The SAS interface provides many advantages over other interfaces, such as SATA, including higher data transfer rates, better reliability, and scalability.
Small Form Factor
The Dell GK6JN hard drive is a Small Form Factor (SFF) drive that measures 2.5 inches in size. This makes it ideal for use in servers that have limited space for storage devices. SFF drives are smaller and lighter than their larger counterparts, which makes them more energy-efficient and easier to install.
15K RPM Spindle Speed
The Dell GK6JN hard drive has a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which is much faster than the standard 7,200 RPM found in most consumer-grade hard drives. This high speed helps to reduce data access times, which is essential in applications that require fast data retrieval, such as databases and virtualized environments.
