Description
Interface and Connectivity
The Seagate 1RM212-150 8TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS Hot-Swap Enterprise Hard Drive features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a 12 Gbps data transfer rate. SAS is a high-speed and reliable data storage interface that is designed for use in enterprise-level server and storage systems. The 12 Gbps SAS interface allows for faster data transfer rates and improved scalability.
The hard drive also supports dual-port connectivity, which allows for redundancy and improved data availability. With dual-port connectivity, the hard drive can be connected to two separate host bus adapters (HBAs) providing a fail-safe mechanism in case one port fails. This feature helps to ensure that the data stored on the hard drive is always available, even in the event of a failure.
Additionally, the hard drive is also backward compatible with SAS 6 Gbps interfaces, making it compatible with legacy systems. The dual-port connectivity and backward compatibility ensure that this hard drive can be seamlessly integrated into existing storage systems, providing improved data availability and system uptime.
SAS interface and dual-port connectivity in the Seagate 1RM212-150 hard drive provide a reliable and fast data transfer rate, as well as a redundancy mechanism which helps to improve data availability and uptime, making it suitable for enterprise-level storage systems that require high performance and high data availability.
Form Factor
The Seagate 1RM212-150 8TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS Hot-Swap Enterprise Hard Drive has a 3.5-inch form factor. A form factor refers to the physical dimensions and layout of a hard drive. The 3.5-inch form factor is the most common size for internal hard drives and is used in desktop computers and servers. The hard drive is designed to fit into the standard 3.5-inch drive bays found in most computer systems and servers.
The 3.5-inch form factor is a standard size that is widely supported by most computer systems and servers, making it a versatile and compatible option for a wide range of applications. The hard drive also supports hot-swap capability which allows for easy and convenient replacement of the hard drive without having to shut down the system. This feature is particularly useful for enterprise-level server and storage systems that require high availability and minimal downtime.
Hot-Swap Capabilities
The Seagate 1RM212-150 8TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS Hot-Swap Enterprise Hard Drive is designed with hot-swap capability, which allows for easy and convenient replacement of the hard drive without having to shut down the system. This feature is particularly useful for enterprise-level server and storage systems that require high availability and minimal downtime.
The hot-swap capability allows for the hard drive to be replaced while the system is still running, which can help to minimize downtime and ensure that the system remains operational. The hard drive can be removed and replaced without the need to power down the system or disrupt the data flow, which can help to maintain system uptime and improve data availability.
Additionally, the hard drive’s hot-swap capability also enables easy maintenance and upgrades, making it a suitable choice for use in data centers and other environments where system uptime and data availability are critical. The hot-swap capability ensures that the hard drive can be quickly and easily replaced in case of failure or when upgrading to a larger capacity drive, ensuring the system’s continuity and minimal downtime.
