Description
Enterprise Hard Drive
The Seagate ST14000NM004G 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, and video surveillance.
It is worth noting that the drive does not have any protection mechanism like encryption or security feature, but it can be added to the storage system in which it’s being installed, if necessary. Additionally, the drive is designed to handle heavy workloads and 24x7x365 operation, which makes it suitable for use in enterprise and data center environments where high-performance and high-reliability are essential.
SAS 12GBPS HDD
The Seagate ST14000NM004G 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.
Delivers the high Reliability
The Seagate ST14000NM004G 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is designed for use in enterprise and data center environments and its reliability is expected to be high. Seagate, as a manufacturer, uses advanced technologies and quality control procedures to ensure the reliability of their drives. They also perform extensive testing on their drives to ensure that they meet industry standards for reliability. The drive is designed to handle heavy workloads and 24x7x365 operation, which makes it suitable for use in enterprise and data center environments where high-performance and high-reliability are essential.
However, it’s important to note that the reliability of any hard drive can depend on various factors, such as the usage conditions, handling, and maintenance. For example, the drive should be operated within the temperature and humidity range specified by the manufacturer and should be protected from physical shocks, dust, and other environmental factors that could cause damage. It’s always recommended to have a backup of the data, and to monitor the health of the hard drive using SMART attributes, to detect any potential issues before they become a problem.
It’s worth mentioning that the drive is backed by Seagate’s warranty which covers the repair or replacement of the product due to defects in materials or workmanship, under normal use and conditions.
