Description
Introduction to the HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SAS Hard Drive
The HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SAS Hard Drive is a high-capacity, high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage arrays. The drive features a SAS interface, which provides fast data transfer rates and improved reliability compared to other types of hard drive interfaces. The 7.2K RPM spindle speed and large 2TB capacity make it ideal for use in demanding storage environments, where large amounts of data need to be stored and retrieved quickly.
The 3.5 inch LFF (Large Form Factor) form factor of the drive allows it to be easily installed in a variety of storage solutions, such as direct attached storage (DAS) and network attached storage (NAS) devices. The drive also features a midline classification, which means it is designed for cost-effective data storage solutions, while still providing a good balance of performance and reliability.
Benefits of Using a SAS Interface for Storage
SAS, or Serial Attached SCSI, is a high-speed data storage interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level storage solutions. There are several key benefits to using a SAS interface for storage, including:
- High-speed data transfer: SAS interfaces provide fast data transfer rates, making them well-suited for use in demanding storage environments where large amounts of data need to be stored and retrieved quickly.
- Improved reliability: SAS interfaces are known for their high levels of reliability and availability, making them ideal for use in mission-critical storage solutions where data loss or corruption cannot be tolerated.
- Scalability: SAS interfaces can be easily expanded and scaled, allowing you to add additional storage capacity as needed without having to replace existing hardware.
- Easy integration: SAS interfaces are compatible with a wide range of storage devices, making it easy to integrate them into existing storage solutions.
- Redundancy options: SAS interfaces can be configured to provide data redundancy and failover capabilities, which helps to ensure that data remains available even in the event of a hardware failure.
- Cost-effectiveness: SAS interfaces are typically more cost-effective than other high-speed storage interfaces, making them a good choice for organizations that need to balance performance and cost.
3.5 Inch LFF Form Factor
The 3.5 inch LFF (Large Form Factor) form factor is a physical size standard for hard drives and other storage devices. LFF refers to the size of the hard drive, which measures approximately 3.5 inches wide, 4 inches deep and 1 inch high. The LFF form factor is commonly used in enterprise-level storage solutions, such as direct attached storage (DAS) and network attached storage (NAS) devices.
The main advantage of using the 3.5 inch LFF form factor is that it provides a high storage capacity in a compact form factor. This makes it ideal for use in servers and storage arrays where space is limited, but large amounts of storage are needed. The 3.5 inch LFF form factor also provides a good balance of performance and cost, making it a popular choice for many organizations.
Another advantage of the 3.5 inch LFF form factor is that it is well-supported by a wide range of storage solutions and components. This makes it easy to find compatible hard drives, enclosures, and other components to build a custom storage solution that meets your specific needs.
