Description
Introduction to the 575057-001 HP 2TB 7.2K RPM SAS Drive
The 575057-001 HP 2TB 7.2K RPM SAS Drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for enterprise use. It is a hard disk drive (HDD) with a large storage capacity of 2TB and a fast spindle speed of 7.2K RPM. The drive uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer technology used in enterprise storage systems. The SAS interface provides faster data transfer rates and increased reliability compared to other storage interfaces such as SATA.
The 575057-001 drive also features a Large Form Factor (LFF) design, which means that it has a larger physical size compared to other form factors such as Small Form Factor (SFF) drives. The LFF design provides more storage space per drive, making it ideal for high-capacity storage systems. Additionally, the drive is equipped with dual port functionality, which allows for increased data accessibility and improved redundancy. The dual port configuration provides an extra level of data protection by allowing the drive to be connected to two separate hosts, providing a secondary path for data access in case one path fails.
Improved Data Access with Dual Port Configuration
Improved data access with dual port configuration is a key feature of the 575057-001 HP 2TB 7.2K RPM SAS Drive. A dual port configuration means that the drive has two separate data interfaces, or ports, allowing it to be connected to two separate host systems. This provides a secondary path for data access, allowing the drive to continue functioning even if one of the ports fails.
This feature is particularly important in enterprise storage systems where uptime and data availability are critical. In the event of a single port failure, the drive can still be accessed through the secondary port, ensuring that data can still be retrieved and processed. This can help prevent downtime and data loss in the event of a failure, improving overall system reliability and availability.
Energy Efficient Operation with Low Power Consumption
Energy efficiency and low power consumption are important factors to consider when choosing a storage solution, and the 575057-001 HP 2TB 7.2K RPM SAS Drive is designed with these considerations in mind.
One of the ways in which the drive achieves energy-efficient operation is through its 7.2K RPM spindle speed. This slower spindle speed uses less power compared to faster drives, which can have spindle speeds of 10K RPM or higher. Additionally, the drive has a low power idle mode, where it consumes minimal power when not actively being used.
Another factor that contributes to the drive’s energy efficiency is its SAS interface. SAS drives typically consume less power compared to SATA drives, as they use a more efficient signaling protocol and have more advanced power management features. The dual port configuration of the 575057-001 drive also contributes to its energy efficiency, as it allows for multiple servers to access the same drive, reducing the overall number of drives that need to be powered.
