Description
Product Overview
The 00NA231 IBM 600GB 15K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hot Swap Hard Drive is a high-performance and high-capacity storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level storage systems and servers. The drive offers a storage capacity of 600GB, providing ample space for storing large amounts of data, files, and backups. The drive is also designed to be hot-swappable, which allows for easy replacement of the drive in the event of a failure, without having to shut down the system.
The drive features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-performance interface commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems and servers. The SAS interface supports both SAS and SATA hard drives and allows for fast data transfer speeds of up to 12 Gbps. Additionally, it features a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which delivers fast data access and retrieval times, making it ideal for transactional and other high-performance applications.
SAS Interface and Speed
The 00NA231 IBM 600GB 15K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hot Swap Hard Drive features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS is a high-performance interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems and servers. It is designed for high-speed data transfer and supports both SAS and SATA hard drives.
The drive also supports a 12 Gbps SAS interface, which allows for fast data transfer speeds of up to 12 Gbps. This is significantly faster than the 6 Gbps SATA interface, making it a good choice for applications that require fast data transfer rates, such as database and business-critical applications.
Additionally, the SAS interface also supports multiple lanes, which allows for increased data transfer speeds and better scalability. SAS interface also supports more advanced features such as dual-port and multi-pathing, which allows for improved data availability and reliability.
The drive also has a 15K RPM spindle speed, which delivers faster data access and retrieval times, making it ideal for transactional and other high-performance applications. The drive’s high speed and SAS interface makes it a great fit for enterprise environments where high performance and reliability are critical.
Compatible systems
The 00NA231 IBM 600GB 15K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hot Swap Hard Drive is designed to be compatible with a wide range of systems that support SAS interface and hot-swap hard drives. It is specifically manufactured for IBM servers, storage arrays and storage enclosures that support 2.5-inch hot-swap hard drives and have a SAS 12 Gbps interface.
It is important to note that before installing the hard drive, the system should be checked for compatibility, as some systems may have specific requirements or limitations. It is also recommended to check the system’s documentation or contact the manufacturer for compatibility information.
It’s also important to consider the firmware version and the Operating system compatibility, some older firmware or operating systems may not support the hard drive’s full capacity or some features, so it’s important to keep the systems up to date. It’s also worth checking that the power and cooling requirements of the system are compatible with the drive.
