Description
Design and Form Factor
The MB4000GEQNH HP 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD is designed to provide high-capacity storage for enterprise and datacenter environments. The drive uses a standard 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) enclosure, which is the most common form factor for enterprise-grade HDDs. The drive is designed to be installed in a hot-pluggable drive bay in compatible HP servers and storage systems.
The drive has a height of 1.0 inch (26.1 mm) and a width of 4.0 inches (101.6 mm), which is a standard size for LFF drives. The drive weighs approximately 800 grams, which is relatively lightweight for a drive of this capacity.
The drive has a SATA 6Gbps interface, which provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps. This interface is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage systems, making it a versatile storage solution for various applications and environments.
The drive also features a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM (rotations per minute), which provides fast data access times and high performance for read-intensive and write-intensive workloads. The drive also includes a 128MB cache buffer, which helps to improve performance and reduce latency.
Data Transfer Rates and Interface
The MB4000GEQNH HP 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD features a SATA 6Gbps interface, which provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps. This interface is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage systems, making it a versatile storage solution for various applications and environments.
The drive also includes a 128MB cache buffer, which helps to improve performance and reduce latency. The cache buffer temporarily stores frequently accessed data to reduce the time it takes to access that data again, which can significantly improve system performance.
The drive has a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM (rotations per minute), which provides fast data access times and high performance for read-intensive and write-intensive workloads. The high spindle speed, combined with the large cache buffer, helps to ensure that data can be accessed quickly and efficiently.
The drive also supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which is a technology that allows the drive to re-order read and write requests to optimize performance. This can help to reduce latency and improve system performance.
The MB4000GEQNH HP 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps, with a large cache buffer, high spindle speed, and support for Native Command Queuing. These features make the drive a reliable and high-performance storage solution for enterprise and datacenter environments.
Comparison with other HP HDD models
The MB4000GEQNH HP 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD is one of several high-capacity HDD models available from HP. Here are some comparisons with other HP HDD models:
- MB4000GCWDC: The MB4000GCWDC is a similar 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD from HP. The main difference between the two models is that the MB4000GCWDC has a higher spindle speed of 10K RPM, which provides faster data access times and higher performance for demanding workloads. However, the MB4000GCWDC also consumes more power and generates more heat than the MB4000GEQNH.
- MB4000JEFNC: The MB4000JEFNC is another 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD from HP. The main difference between this model and the MB4000GEQNH is that the MB4000JEFNC has a SAS interface instead of SATA. SAS interfaces generally provide higher data transfer rates and greater reliability than SATA interfaces, but they also tend to be more expensive.
- MB6000GCBTL: The MB6000GCBTL is a 6TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD from HP. This model provides greater capacity than the MB4000GEQNH, but it also consumes more power and generates more heat. The MB6000GCBTL is designed for applications that require large amounts of storage capacity, such as data archiving and backup.
The MB4000GEQNH HP 4TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps LFF HDD is a reliable and high-performance storage solution for enterprise and datacenter environments. Its combination of high-capacity, high-speed data transfer rates, and a SATA interface make it a versatile storage solution for a wide range of applications. However, depending on the specific needs of a particular application, other HP HDD models may be more suitable.
