Description
Capacity and Form Factor
Capacity and form factor are two important specifications to consider when selecting a hard disk drive (HDD) for use in a server or storage system.
Capacity refers to the amount of data that can be stored on the HDD. The HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD has a capacity of 2 terabytes (TB), which means it can store up to 2 trillion bytes of data. This is a significant amount of data and makes the drive suitable for applications that require high-capacity storage, such as large databases, data warehouses, and file servers.
Form factor refers to the physical size and shape of the HDD. The HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD has a small form factor (SFF) that measures 2.5 inches in width and 0.6 inches in height. This compact size makes it ideal for use in space-constrained server and storage environments, such as blade servers, compact servers, and storage arrays. The SFF form factor also allows for high-density storage configurations, enabling IT organizations to maximize their storage capacity within a given space.
Interface and Transfer Rate
The HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD uses a Serial ATA (SATA) interface to connect to the server or storage system. SATA is a popular interface standard used for connecting storage devices to computer systems. It offers a high-speed data transfer rate and is widely supported by operating systems and hardware.
The transfer rate of the HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD is 6 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is the maximum speed supported by the SATA III interface. This high transfer rate allows for fast and efficient data transfer between the HDD and the server or storage system, making it suitable for applications that require high-speed data access, such as databases and video streaming.
It’s worth noting that the actual transfer rate of the HDD can be affected by various factors, such as the performance of the host system, the configuration of the storage system, and the workload of the applications. Nonetheless, the SATA III interface and the 6Gbps transfer rate of the HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD ensure that the drive can deliver high-performance storage for various applications.
Rotational Speed
The HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD has a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). Rotational speed is a measure of how quickly the platters inside the HDD spin around their axis. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.
A rotational speed of 7,200 RPM is considered to be fast for an HDD, and it makes the HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD suitable for applications that require fast data access, such as transaction processing and database applications. The faster rotational speed allows the HDD to locate and retrieve data more quickly than slower spinning drives, resulting in faster data access times and improved application performance.
It’s worth noting that higher rotational speeds can also result in increased heat and noise levels, which can be a concern in some server and storage environments. However, the HPE 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps SFF HDD is designed to operate within acceptable temperature and noise limits, making it a reliable and efficient storage solution for various applications.
