Description
Product Overview
The IBM 49Y6210 4TB SAS Hard Drive is a high-capacity, high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise servers and storage systems. With a large storage capacity of 4TB, it is ideal for data centers and other organizations that require large amounts of storage for their critical data.
The hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and supports a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. It also has a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM, which allows for fast data access and faster system boot-up. SAS hard drives have a more robust error handling mechanism and are more tolerant to vibration and shock, providing better protection for your data.
The IBM 4TB SAS Hard Drive is designed to provide reliable, high-speed data storage for mission-critical applications. It is compatible with most major server operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and VMware. It also includes a tray for easy installation and hot-swap capability, which allows for quick and easy replacement of faulty or failed drives without interruption to the operation of the system.
The hard drive also comes with a warranty and support from IBM, providing customers with peace of mind and the assurance that they are making a solid investment in their data storage needs.
Hot-Swap capability
Hot-swap capability refers to the ability of the IBM 49Y6210 4TB SAS Hard Drive to be easily replaced without having to power off the server or storage system. This feature, also known as “hot-plugging,” allows for quick and easy replacement of faulty or failed drives without any interruption to the operation of the system.
The IBM 4TB SAS Hard Drive comes with a tray for easy installation and hot-swap capability. This means that the hard drive can be easily removed and replaced while the system is running, without having to shut down the server or storage system. This feature is particularly useful for organizations that need to minimize downtime and maintain the availability of their systems at all times.
To hot-swap the hard drive, you need to remove the hard drive from the server or storage system while it’s powered on, and the hard drive can be removed by simply pulling it out of the tray. Then, the new hard drive can be inserted into the tray and the system will automatically detect and start using the new drive.
Additionally, the IBM 4TB SAS Hard Drive also supports hot-swap capability, which means it can be easily replaced without having to power off the server or storage system. This feature ensures that the server or storage system remains online and operational during drive replacement, minimizing downtime.
Performance and reliability
Performance refers to the speed and efficiency of the IBM 49Y6210 4TB SAS Hard Drive in carrying out its functions. Some key metrics to consider when evaluating the performance of a hard drive include the data transfer rate, access time, and seek time.
The IBM hard drive has a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps, which is the standard for SAS hard drives. This means that it can transfer data at a faster rate than SATA hard drives, which have a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. It also has a 7.2K RPM spindle speed which is relatively fast for an internal hard drive, this allows for faster data access and faster system boot-up.
Reliability refers to the ability of the IBM 4TB SAS Hard Drive to consistently perform its functions without failure. Factors that contribute to the reliability of a hard drive include the mean time between failures (MTBF) and the error rate.
The MTBF of the IBM hard drive is not specified. However, SAS hard drives in general have a higher MTBF than SATA hard drives. Additionally, SAS hard drives have a more robust error handling mechanism and are more tolerant to vibration and shock, providing better protection for your data.
Furthermore, IBM hard drives undergo rigorous testing and validation to ensure that they meet IBM’s high standards for performance and reliability. So, you can trust that IBM 4TB SAS hard drive will provide a reliable and high-performance storage solution for your mission-critical applications.
