Description
Details Information
The Dell GXWC4 16TB SAS 12 Gbps 7.2K RPM Hot-plug 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 is also designed to be hot-plug, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the system is still running. This feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without having to shut down the system.
The drive also 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, the data is protected.
SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive
The Dell GXWC4 16TB 12 Gbps 7.2K RPM Hot-plug 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-plugging 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 12 Gbps 7.2K RPM Hot-plug Hard Drive is optimized for use in enterprise storage systems, it has a high-speed cache of 512MB, and it’s a hot-plug hard drive, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the system is still running. This feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without having to shut down the system.
High-Speed Data Transfer
The Dell GXWC4 16TB SAS 12 Gbps 7.2K RPM Hot-plug Hard Drive is designed to provide high-speed data transfer in enterprise-class storage environments. The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface that the drive uses supports data transfer rates up to 12 Gbps. This allows for fast access to stored data, improving the overall performance of the system.
The 12 Gbps data transfer rate is one of the fastest available for SAS hard drives and provides faster data transfer speeds than previous generations of SAS hard drives. It can help to reduce the time it takes to access and transfer large amounts of data.
In addition, the drive supports advanced features such as hot-plugging and dual-porting, which allows for easy maintenance and improved system availability. This feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without having to shut down the system.
