The 531294-003 HP Storageworks Eva Drive has several key features and benefits that make it a high-performing and reliable storage solution.
- Large Capacity: The 531294-003 drive has a capacity of 600GB, which allows for large amounts of data to be stored and easily accessible.
- High Speed Performance: With a 15K RPM spindle speed, the 531294-003 drive provides fast access times and data transfer rates, making it ideal for use in demanding applications.
- Dual Port Fibre Channel Connectivity: The drive features dual port Fibre Channel connectivity, which provides increased availability and redundancy by allowing the drive to be connected to two separate Fibre Channel host adapters. This also allows for greater flexibility in storage configurations and easier maintenance.
- Hot Swap Capability: The drive features hot swap capability, which enables it to be replaced while the system is still running, without disrupting operations. This makes maintenance and upgrades much easier and less time-consuming.
- Improved Reliability: The high spindle speed of the 531294-003 drive helps to reduce wear and tear on the drive components, improving reliability and reducing the risk of failure.
- Compatible with HP Storageworks Eva Storage Systems: The drive is specifically designed for use with HP Storageworks Eva Storage Systems, providing a seamless integration and compatibility with these systems.
- 3.5 Inch Form Factor: The 531294-003 drive has a 3.5 inch form factor, which makes it easy to install and compatible with a wide range of storage systems.
- Robust Data Protection: The drive includes advanced data protection features, such as error correction code (ECC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC), to help ensure the integrity of stored data.
Dual Port Fibre Channel Connectivity
Dual Port Fibre Channel Connectivity is a feature of the 531294-003 HP Storageworks Eva Drive that provides increased availability and redundancy for storage systems.
In a traditional single-port Fibre Channel configuration, the drive is connected to a single Fibre Channel host adapter, which provides the connection between the drive and the host computer. In the event of a failure in the host adapter or the connection, the drive and its data will become unavailable.
With dual port Fibre Channel connectivity, the drive is connected to two separate Fibre Channel host adapters, providing an additional level of redundancy. If one of the connections fails, the other connection will continue to provide access to the drive and its data, ensuring that the drive remains available even in the event of a failure.
This increased availability and redundancy provided by dual port Fibre Channel connectivity helps to ensure the reliability and continuity of storage operations, and is particularly important in mission-critical environments where downtime must be minimized.
In addition to increased availability, dual port Fibre Channel connectivity also provides greater flexibility in storage configurations, as the drive can be connected to multiple host adapters in different locations. This can provide improved performance and balance the load on multiple host adapters.
Hot Swap Capability for Easy Maintenance
Hot Swap capability is a feature of the 531294-003 HP Storageworks Eva Drive that allows for easy and convenient maintenance of storage systems.
Hot Swap refers to the ability of a drive to be replaced without shutting down the system or disrupting operations. In traditional storage systems, replacing a drive often requires shutting down the system, which can result in downtime and lost productivity.
With Hot Swap capability, the 531294-003 drive can be removed and replaced while the system is still running, allowing maintenance and upgrades to be performed without any disruption to operations. This can save significant time and resources compared to traditional storage systems.
In addition to the convenience of Hot Swap, the feature also enhances the reliability of storage systems by allowing for easier and quicker replacement of failed drives. This helps to minimize downtime and ensure the continuity of operations.
