Product Overview of 516828-B21 HP 600GB Hard Drive
The HP 516828-B21 is a 600GB hard disk drive designed for use in enterprise-class servers and storage systems. It has been specifically engineered for high-performance and high-reliability applications where speed and uptime are critical. This hard drive features SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, dual-port architecture, hot-swap capability, and 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) spindle speed. In this article, we will delve into the features and specifications of the HP 516828-B21 hard drive.
SAS Interface
The HP 516828-B21 hard drive uses a SAS interface, which is a point-to-point serial protocol that connects devices in a computer system. SAS is the successor to the earlier parallel SCSI interface and offers several advantages over its predecessor. One of the main advantages of SAS is its higher bandwidth, which allows for faster data transfer rates. SAS also supports longer cable lengths than parallel SCSI, allowing for greater flexibility in system design.
Dual Port Architecture
The HP 516828-B21 hard drive features a dual-port architecture, which means that it has two SAS ports for redundancy. This design allows for failover in case of a cable or port failure, ensuring that the system continues to operate without interruption. Dual-port architecture also allows for load balancing, which can improve overall system performance by distributing I/O traffic between the two ports.
Hot-Swap Capability
The HP 516828-B21 hard drive supports hot-swap capability, which means that it can be replaced while the system is running. This feature allows for maintenance and upgrades to be performed without shutting down the system, improving uptime and reducing downtime. Hot-swappable hard drives also allow for easier scalability, as additional drives can be added to the system without interruption.
15,000 RPM Spindle Speed
The HP 516828-B21 hard drive has a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which is significantly faster than most desktop hard drives. This high spindle speed allows for faster data access times, making the drive ideal for applications that require high-speed data transfer. The faster spinning speed also increases the drive’s I/O operations per second (IOPS), which can improve overall system performance.
Capacity
The HP 516828-B21 hard drive has a capacity of 600GB, which is suitable for a range of applications. It provides enough space for storing large amounts of data, such as databases, virtual machines, and other mission-critical applications. However, if more storage space is needed, the drive can be combined with other drives in a RAID configuration for increased capacity.
Summary, the HP 516828-B21 hard drive is a high-performance, high-reliability storage solution designed for enterprise-class applications. Its SAS interface, dual-port architecture, hot-swap capability, and high spindle speed make it an ideal choice for applications that require fast and reliable data access. With its compatibility with a range of systems and its easy installation, the HP 516828-B21 hard drive is a versatile and reliable storage solution for any organization.
