Description
Reliability and Data Protection
The QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure is a reliable and secure storage solution that provides protection for data stored on its 25 SFF (Small Form Factor) drive bays. The enclosure is designed to support a wide range of drives, including SAS, SATA, and SSD, and it features redundant power supplies and fans for added reliability.
The enclosure also includes advanced data protection features, such as HPE Smart Array controllers, which provide RAID functionality for increased data redundancy and protection against drive failure. The enclosure also supports hot-swappable drives, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement of drives without having to power down the system.
In addition, the enclosure includes HPE Secure Encryption, which enables users to encrypt data on the drives for added security. The enclosure also supports a range of management tools, including HPE Systems Insight Manager and HPE Smart Storage Administrator, to help monitor and manage the storage environment.
Cooling and Power Efficiency
The QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure is designed to provide efficient cooling and power management for its 25 SFF (Small Form Factor) drive bays. This enclosure is specifically designed to house 2.5-inch drives, which are commonly used in high-density storage applications. The following are the key features that contribute to the cooling and power efficiency of the QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure:
- Fan modules: The enclosure comes with two hot-swappable fan modules that are designed to provide efficient cooling to the drives. These fan modules are energy-efficient and use variable speed fans to maintain optimal cooling while minimizing power consumption.
- Redundant power supplies: The enclosure is equipped with two redundant power supplies, which provide high-efficiency power to the system. These power supplies are also hot-swappable, which means that they can be replaced without shutting down the enclosure.
- Efficient airflow design: The QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure has an efficient airflow design that directs cool air from the front of the enclosure to the back, where it is exhausted. This design ensures that the drives are cooled effectively, while also minimizing the amount of power required for cooling.
- Smart Array Controller compatibility: The QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure is compatible with HPE Smart Array Controllers, which are designed to optimize power efficiency while providing high-performance storage solutions. The controllers can be configured to optimize power consumption and cooling, based on the workload of the system.
Performance and Performance Optimization
The QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure is designed to provide high-performance storage capabilities for data-intensive workloads. With 25 SFF (small form factor) drive bays, the enclosure can accommodate up to 25 hot-swappable SAS or SATA hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), or self-encrypting drives (SEDs).
To ensure optimal performance, the QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure is equipped with a high-speed 6 Gb/s SAS interface, which allows for data transfer rates of up to 600 MB/s per drive. This interface is compatible with a wide range of HPE servers and storage systems, enabling seamless integration and easy deployment.
Additionally, the QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure features advanced performance optimization features, such as dynamic data tiering, which automatically moves frequently accessed data to faster storage media for improved read/write speeds. The enclosure also supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing redundancy and fault tolerance to ensure data availability and prevent downtime.
To further enhance performance, the QW967A HPE D3700 Enclosure can be configured with optional HPE Smart Array controllers, which offer advanced data protection features such as online RAID level migration and expansion, cache optimization, and hot spare management. These controllers also support HPE’s SmartCache technology, which uses SSDs as cache to accelerate read/write speeds and reduce latency.
