Description
Interface and Transfer Rates
Interface and Transfer Rates refer to the way in which the hard drive communicates with the computer or storage system and the speed at which data is transferred between them.
The 518735-001 HP 600GB 10K RPM EVA Hot Swap Form Factor 3.5 Inches Fibre Channel Hard Drive has a Fibre Channel interface, which is a high-speed network technology commonly used in storage area networks (SANs). Fibre Channel enables high-speed data transfer rates of up to 16 Gbps, making it well-suited for applications that require fast and reliable data transfer, such as enterprise storage systems and data centers.
Transfer rates are a measure of the speed at which data can be read from or written to the hard drive. The 518735-001 HP hard drive has a 10,000 RPM spindle speed, which allows for faster read and write speeds compared to lower RPM drives. The drive also has a large 600GB storage capacity, which means it can store a large amount of data and transfer it quickly.
Hot Swap Functionality
Hot Swap functionality allows a hard drive to be replaced while the system is running, without the need to power off the system or interrupt any running processes. This is possible because the hard drive is designed to be easily removable and replaceable without affecting the overall functionality of the system.
The 518735-001 HP 600GB 10K RPM EVA Hot Swap Form Factor 3.5 Inches Fibre Channel Hard Drive is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the system is running. This feature provides several benefits, including increased system uptime, improved reliability, and reduced maintenance costs.
Hot swapping can be particularly useful in enterprise environments where system downtime can have significant financial or operational consequences. For example, in a data center, hot-swappable hard drives can be replaced without shutting down servers, minimizing the impact on operations and ensuring that critical applications and services remain available.
To ensure that the hot swap process is safe and reliable, it is important to follow the proper procedures for replacing a hard drive. This may involve using specialized tools or following specific steps to prevent damage to the system or data loss.
Environmental and Power Requirements
The HP 518735-001 is a 600GB 10K RPM Fibre Channel hard drive designed for use in an EVA (Enterprise Virtual Array) storage system. The hard drive has a 3.5-inch form factor and is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning that it can be replaced without having to power down the system or interrupt service.
In terms of environmental requirements, the HP 518735-001 is designed to operate within a temperature range of 41°F to 131°F (5°C to 55°C) and must be stored in a temperature range of -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C). It must also be protected from exposure to moisture and operate within a relative humidity range of 8% to 90% non-condensing.
In terms of power requirements, the HP 518735-001 requires a supply voltage of 5V and 12V. It has a maximum power consumption of 10.2 watts during normal operation, and a maximum start-up current of 1.3 amps. The hard drive is also designed to meet the requirements of Energy Star, an international standard for energy-efficient consumer products.
It’s important to note that the environmental and power requirements for the HP 518735-001 are specific to this particular model and may not be the same for other hard drives. Always consult the manufacturer’s specifications before installing or operating any hard drive in a storage system.
