Description
Product Description
The IBM 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive (00FN230) is a high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. With a large 6TB storage capacity, it offers ample space to store and quickly access large amounts of data. The drive features a fast 12GBps SAS interface, which enables fast data transfer rates, improving system performance. The 7.2K RPM spindle speed allows for quick data access, making it suitable for demanding workloads. This drive is built to meet the demands of high-availability, 24×7 environments and is designed to provide high performance, reliability and capacity.
Interface
The IBM 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive (00FN230) features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 12GBps interface. SAS is a high-performance data transfer interface designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It offers faster data transfer rates than traditional SATA interfaces, and it is also more reliable and scalable.
The SAS 12GBps interface allows for faster data transfer between the drive and the host system, improving system performance. The 12GBps SAS interface also provides improved signaling and wider data bus, allowing for faster data transfer and better performance compared to SAS 6GBps.
Additionally, SAS interface offers dual-port capabilities, allowing for redundancy in case of failure, and also allows for multiple drives to be connected to a single host bus adapter, expanding storage capacity and providing greater flexibility.
Wide compatibility
The IBM 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive (00FN230) is compatible with servers and storage systems that support SAS 12GBps interface and have a SAS expansion port. This hard drive is compatible with a wide range of servers, storage systems, and host bus adapters that support SAS interface. However, it is important to check the compatibility with the specific server or storage system you plan to use this drive in.
It is also recommended to check the firmware version of the host system, as some systems may require a firmware update to support the latest SAS hard drive.
Additionally, it is important to check the available power supply and cooling requirements for the hard drive as well as the physical space availability in the system before installing it. It is also important to confirm that the drive is compliant with the specific industry regulations, such as SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) if it’s required.
