7.2K RPM Spindle Speed for Faster Data Access
The 7.2K RPM spindle speed of the HPE 861693-B21 Hard Drive is a key feature that contributes to its high-performance and fast data access capabilities. In a hard drive, the spindle speed refers to the number of rotations per minute (RPM) of the spindle that holds the disk platters. The faster the spindle speed, the quicker the hard drive can access data stored on the disk platters.
In the case of the HPE 861693-B21 Hard Drive, the 7.2K RPM spindle speed provides fast data access, allowing for quicker and more efficient data retrieval. This can be especially important in applications where rapid data access is crucial, such as in database systems, file servers, and data centers. The fast spindle speed also allows for improved overall system performance and can lead to improved application response times and reduced downtime.
In addition to the fast spindle speed, the HPE 861693-B21 Hard Drive also features a high-capacity 3TB storage, providing ample space for storing large data sets. The combination of fast spindle speed and large storage capacity makes the HPE 861693-B21 Hard Drive an ideal solution for organizations looking for a high-performance and reliable storage solution.
3.5 Inch LFF SATA 6GBPS Form Factor
The HPE 861693-B21 Hard Drive features a 3.5 inch LFF SATA-6GBPS form factor, which refers to its physical size and interface. The 3.5 inch size refers to the diameter of the hard drive platters and the size of the hard drive itself. LFF stands for Large Form Factor, which is a larger version of the Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drive used in smaller systems.
The SATA-6GBPS interface is the type of interface used to connect the hard drive to the motherboard. SATA, or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, is a standard interface used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives to the motherboard. SATA-6GBPS is the latest version of the SATA interface and provides a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gigabytes per second, allowing for fast and efficient data transfer.
The 3.5 inch LFF SATA-6GBPS form factor of the HPE 861693-B21 Hard Drive makes it compatible with a wide range of systems, including HPE ProLiant servers and other mid-range storage systems that support the LFF form factor. This form factor also provides easy installation and configuration, making it an ideal solution for organizations looking for a flexible and cost-effective storage solution.
