The hard drive uses a SAS-6GBPS interface that provides fast data transfer rates and reliable performance. The dual port SAS interface allows for improved performance, increased data availability, and enhanced data protection. With a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM, the hard drive provides fast data access and improved performance.
The HP 2TB 7.2K RPM LFF SAS-6GBPS 2 Port Midline Hard Drive is designed for use in HP ProLiant servers and other compatible systems. It is engineered to meet the demands of enterprise-class storage environments and is built with robust data protection features to ensure the safety and integrity of stored data. The hard drive is also designed with energy efficiency in mind, helping to reduce power consumption and lower operating costs.
SAS 6GBPS Interface and Its Benefits
The SAS-6GBPS (Serial Attached SCSI – 6 Gbps) interface is a high-speed data transfer interface used in enterprise-class storage systems and servers. It is designed to provide fast data transfer rates and reliable performance for demanding storage and data processing applications. The SAS-6GBPS interface is backwards compatible with previous generations of SAS interfaces and supports both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor hard drives.
The key benefits of the SAS-6GBPS interface include:
- High Speed Data Transfer: The SAS-6GBPS interface provides a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps, which is significantly faster than other data transfer interfaces such as SATA. This enables faster data access and improved performance, making it ideal for use in demanding storage environments.
- Reliability: SAS-6GBPS is a reliable and robust interface, with built-in features such as error correction and data protection to ensure the integrity of stored data. The interface also supports dual porting, which increases the availability of data and provides enhanced data protection.
- Scalability: The SAS-6GBPS interface supports both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor hard drives, and can accommodate large amounts of storage capacity. This makes it ideal for use in large storage systems and data centers.
- Interoperability: The SAS-6GBPS interface is backwards compatible with previous generations of SAS interfaces, making it easy to upgrade existing storage systems. This also provides a smooth migration path for businesses and organizations looking to upgrade their storage infrastructure.
- Cost-effective: Despite its high-performance capabilities, the SAS-6GBPS interface is a cost-effective solution for businesses and organizations requiring high-performance storage.
7.2K RPM Spindle Speed
The spindle speed of a hard drive is measured in rotations per minute (RPM) and is an important factor in determining the performance of a hard drive. The 7.2K RPM spindle speed in the HP 2TB 7.2K RPM LFF SAS-6GBPS 2 Port Midline Hard Drive (574761-B21) refers to the speed at which the hard drive’s disk platters rotate.
Higher spindle speeds generally result in faster data access times and improved performance. In this case, the 7.2K RPM spindle speed of the HP 2TB 7.2K RPM LFF SAS-6GBPS 2 Port Midline Hard Drive provides fast data access and improved performance compared to hard drives with slower spindle speeds. This makes it ideal for use in demanding storage environments that require fast data access and high performance.
It is important to note that higher spindle speeds can result in increased power consumption and heat generation, so it’s important to consider the trade-offs when choosing a hard drive with a higher spindle speed. In the case of the HP 2TB 7.2K RPM LFF SAS-6GBPS 2 Port Midline Hard Drive, the manufacturer has carefully balanced performance and power efficiency to provide an optimal solution for enterprise-class storage environments.
