Description
Server Enterprise Hard Drive
The Dell YPCP9 14TB 7.2K RPM 512MB SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive is a high-capacity storage device that is designed for use in servers. It features a storage capacity of 14 terabytes (TB) and has a rotation speed of 7.2K RPM (Revolutions per Minute).
It uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface commonly used in servers and other high-performance storage systems. It supports a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second (12 Gbps), which is faster than the SATA interface commonly used in consumer-grade hard drives.
The SAS interface provides faster data transfer rates, improved reliability, and scalability compared to SATA. It also allows for multiple hard drives to be connected to a single controller, enabling large-scale storage configurations.
The hard drive also features a large 512MB cache, which can help improve performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data for quick retrieval.
Serial-Attached SCSI
The Dell YPCP9 14TB 7.2K RPM 512MB SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS is a high-speed data transfer interface that is commonly used in servers and other high-performance storage systems. It is designed to provide faster data transfer rates, improved reliability, and scalability compared to SATA, which is the interface commonly used in consumer-grade hard drives.
The SAS interface supports a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second (12 Gbps), which is faster than the 6 Gbps provided by SATA. This allows for faster data access and retrieval, which is particularly important in enterprise environments where large amounts of data need to be processed quickly.
SAS also allows for multiple hard drives to be connected to a single controller, enabling large-scale storage configurations. This makes it a more suitable interface for enterprise storage systems, where high-availability and high-performance are critical.
Additionally, the hard drive features a large 512MB cache, which can help improve performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data for quick retrieval.
Wide Compatibility
The Dell YPCP9 14TB 7.2K RPM 512MB SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive is designed to be compatible with servers and other storage systems that support the SAS interface. The SAS interface is commonly used in enterprise-grade servers, storage arrays, and other high-performance storage systems.
It is important to check that the server or storage system you plan to use the hard drive with has a SAS interface that supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, as this is the maximum data transfer rate provided by the hard drive. Additionally, you should check that the server or storage system has enough space to accommodate the hard drive, and that it can provide enough power to the hard drive.
It’s also important to note that the hard drive has a 512MB cache, which is larger than the cache of some other hard drives, and that may affect the compatibility with some systems.
Before purchasing, it is recommended to check the documentation or consult with the vendor of the server or storage system to ensure compatibility with the Dell YPCP9 14TB 7.2K RPM 512MB SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive.
