Description
Enterprise Hard Drive
The Seagate ST14000NM002G 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive is an enterprise-grade hard drive that is designed for use in high-performance, high-reliability storage systems.
An enterprise-grade hard drive is a type of hard drive that is specifically designed for use in enterprise and data center environments. These drives are typically built to higher standards of reliability, performance and durability than consumer-grade hard drives. They are designed to handle heavy workloads, 24x7x365 operation and are built with enterprise-class features such as protection mechanisms, encryption and security features.
The Seagate 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive utilizes the SAS interface with 12 Gbps data transfer rate which provides high data transfer rates and low latency, resulting in fast data access and retrieval. It also has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM which is faster than the typical 5400 RPM of most consumer drives, this allows for faster data access times, making it well-suited for use in environments where data needs to be accessed quickly, such as in a database or file server.
The drive also has a large storage capacity of 14TB, making it suitable for use in large data storage applications, such as data warehousing, big data analytics.
Serial-Attached SCSI
The Seagate ST14000NM002G 14TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS Hard Drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface.
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a high-speed data transfer interface that is typically used in enterprise-grade servers and storage systems. It is designed for use with high-performance, high-reliability storage devices such as hard disk drives and solid state drives.
The SAS interface is a point-to-point connection, meaning that each SAS drive has its own dedicated connection to the SAS controller, which allows for faster data transfer speeds and more reliable data transfer compared to other interfaces such as SATA. SAS also supports expanders, which allows to connect multiple drives to a single controller, increasing the scalability and flexibility of the storage.
The Seagate 14TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS Hard Drive supports 12 Gbps data transfer rate which is double the standard 6 Gbps data transfer rate of most SAS drives, this provides fast data access and retrieval, which is ideal for high-performance, high-reliability storage devices such as hard disk drives.
It is important to note that in order to use this drive, the system must have a SAS controller and support 12 Gbps data transfer rate, otherwise, the drive may not be recognized or may not function properly. It is recommended to check the compatibility of this drive with the specific system or device it will be used in.
Wide Compatibility
The Seagate ST14000NM002G 14TB 7.2K RPM 12GBPS Hard Drive is compatible with systems that support the SAS interface and have a 12 Gbps data transfer rate. This includes most enterprise-grade servers and storage systems that are equipped with a SAS controller.
When using this drive, it is important to check the compatibility with the specific system or device it will be used in. The system or device should have a SAS interface and support a 12 Gbps data transfer rate in order for the drive to function properly. Additionally, the drive should be compatible with the operating system and other software running on the system or device.
It is also important to ensure that the system or device has enough physical space to accommodate the drive and that the power supply is able to provide enough power to the drive.
Before installing this drive, it’s recommended to check the technical documentation and compatibility matrix of the server or storage system on Seagate website or consult with the manufacturer to ensure it’s compatible and to check any firmware, driver, or other software updates that may be needed.
It’s worth mentioning that this drive is primarily intended for use in enterprise and data center environments, so it may not be compatible with all consumer or small business systems.
