Description
Introduction to 00FN190 Hard Drive
The 00FN190 Hard Drive is a high-capacity storage device manufactured by IBM. It is a 3.5-inch nearline hot swap hard drive that uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and operates at a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM. It has a capacity of 2TB and supports a data transfer rate of 12GB/s, making it suitable for use in enterprise storage systems and servers that require fast and reliable data storage. This drive is designed to be used as a secondary storage device for nearline data storage, providing a cost-effective solution for storing data that is accessed infrequently. The hot swap design allows for easy replacement in the event of a drive failure, ensuring minimum downtime and maximizing data availability. Overall, the 00FN190 Hard Drive offers high-capacity storage, fast data transfer rates, and reliable performance for demanding enterprise storage applications.
SAS 12GBps Interface Specification
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a high-speed data interface that is used in the 00FN190 Hard Drive to transfer data between the drive and the host system. The SAS 12Gbps interface specification refers to the maximum data transfer rate that can be achieved over the SAS connection, which is 12 gigabits per second. This high-speed data transfer rate enables fast and efficient data transfer, making the 00FN190 Hard Drive suitable for use in demanding enterprise storage systems and servers.
The SAS interface uses a serial communication protocol that provides a high-speed, reliable, and scalable data transfer solution for storage systems. Unlike IDE and SATA interfaces, SAS uses a point-to-point connection between the drive and the host system, which provides improved performance and reliability. SAS also supports multiple initiators and targets, allowing for easy expansion of the storage system and providing a flexible solution for growing storage requirements.
Nearline Technology for Data Storage
Nearline technology is a type of data storage that provides cost-effective, low-latency access to infrequently accessed data. The term “nearline” refers to the proximity of the storage medium to online storage, meaning it is faster than offline storage (tapes, optical media) but slower than online storage (solid-state drives, RAM).
In the context of the 00FN190 Hard Drive, nearline technology refers to the use of this drive as a secondary storage device for data that is accessed infrequently. This makes it a cost-effective solution for data storage as compared to faster and more expensive online storage options such as solid-state drives. The nearline technology used in the 00FN190 Hard Drive provides fast access to data, ensuring that the stored data can be retrieved quickly when it is needed.
Additionally, nearline storage can provide a balance between cost and performance, making it an ideal solution for a variety of data storage requirements. The 00FN190 Hard Drive with nearline technology provides a high-capacity storage solution for enterprises, with the reliability and performance needed for demanding storage applications.
