Product Details of the Dell P8N29
The P8N29 Dell Self-Encrypting 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 2.5inch Form Factor Hot-Plug Hard Drive With Tray is a high-performance hard drive designed for use in Dell PowerEdge servers. This hard drive is specifically designed to provide fast and secure storage for servers that require high-speed access to data.
In this article, we will discuss in detail the features and specifications of the P8N29 Dell hard drive, as well as its benefits and applications.
Features and Specifications
The P8N29 Dell hard drive has a storage capacity of 1.2 terabytes, which is equivalent to 1200 gigabytes. This large storage capacity is ideal for servers that require a lot of space to store data. The hard drive also has a rotational speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which means that it can access and transfer data at a high speed.
The P8N29 Dell hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface with a transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (Gbps). This interface is a high-speed data transfer technology that is commonly used in servers and storage systems. The SAS interface also provides more reliable data transfer than the older Parallel SCSI interface.
One of the most important features of the P8N29 Dell hard drive is its self-encrypting capability. This means that the hard drive is equipped with hardware-based encryption technology that encrypts all data stored on the drive, including both user data and system files. This ensures that data stored on the hard drive is protected from unauthorized access and theft.
The hard drive has a form factor of 2.5 inches, which is a standard size for hard drives used in servers. It also comes with a tray that allows it to be used as a hot-plug hard drive. The tray is designed to fit into the standard drive bays of Dell PowerEdge servers, making it easy to install and replace.
Another important feature of the P8N29 Dell hard drive is its hot-plug capability. This means that the hard drive can be inserted or removed from a server while the server is still running, without having to shut down the server. This feature can be very useful for server administrators who need to add or replace hard drives without interrupting the operation of the server.
Benefits and Applications
The P8N29 Dell hard drive provides several benefits for server users. Its large storage capacity and high-speed data transfer make it ideal for servers that need to store and access large amounts of data quickly. The SAS interface and 10K RPM rotational speed also ensure that data can be transferred quickly and reliably, which is essential for server applications.
The self-encrypting capability of the P8N29 Dell hard drive ensures that data stored on the drive is protected from unauthorized access and theft. This is especially important for businesses that store sensitive data on their servers, such as financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and government agencies.
The hot-plug capability of the P8N29 Dell hard drive makes it easy to install and maintain. Server administrators can add or replace hard drives without interrupting the operation of the server, which can be very useful for businesses that require continuous uptime.
The P8N29 Dell hard drive is compatible with a wide range of Dell PowerEdge servers, including the PowerEdge R330, R430, R530, R630, R730, R730XD, and T630 servers. It can also be used in Dell PowerEdge storage systems, such as the PowerVault MD1400 and MD1420.
