Description
Enterprise Hard Drive
The Seagate ST16000NM009G is an enterprise-class hard disk drive (HDD) designed for use in data centers and other high-performance storage environments. It is a high-capacity, high-performance hard drive that is well-suited for use in large-scale storage systems and other applications that require large amounts of storage and fast data transfer rates.
Capacity: With a storage capacity of 16 terabytes (TB), this drive is well-suited for use in large-scale storage systems. This allows for storing large amount of data.
Spindle Speed: The drive has a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, which is typical of enterprise-grade hard drives. The higher the RPM, the faster the drive can access data.
Data transfer rate: The drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and has a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GB/s), which is faster than the standard 6GB/s of SATA hard drives. This allows for improved performance and faster data access when used in systems that support the SAS interface.
Cache Memory: The drive has a large cache memory of 256MB which helps in improving the performance of data transfer and access.
Security: The drive supports advanced security features such as TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and Instant Secure Erase (ISE) which helps protect data at rest.
Serial-Attached SCSI
The Seagate ST16000NM009G is a hard disk drive (HDD) that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. SAS is a high-speed data transfer interface designed for use in enterprise-class servers and storage systems. It is faster and more advanced than the standard SATA interface and provides several benefits for enterprise storage systems.
- Speed: SAS allows for faster data transfer rates compared to the standard SATA interface, up to 12 Gbps, which allows for improved performance and faster data access when used in systems that support the SAS interface.
- Reliability: SAS interface supports multiple lanes, which allows for concurrent data transfer over multiple paths, this makes it more reliable and fault-tolerant.
- Scalability: SAS interface also supports daisy chaining, which allows for expansion of the storage capacity by connecting multiple devices to a single host bus adapter, this makes it more scalable.
- Monitoring: SAS drives also support S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) which allows for monitoring of the drive health and predict failure.
Wide Compatibility
The Seagate ST16000NM009G is a hard disk drive (HDD) that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface designed for use in enterprise-class servers and storage systems. It is important to ensure compatibility when using this drive, as certain systems may not support SAS interfaces.
- Host Bus Adapter (HBA): The drive requires a SAS host bus adapter (HBA) to connect to the system. The HBA must be compatible with the SAS interface and have the necessary number of ports to connect the drive.
- Firmware: The drive’s firmware must be compatible with the system’s firmware. It is important to check for the latest firmware updates for both the system and the drive on the manufacturer’s website to ensure compatibility.
- Operating System: The drive must also be compatible with the operating system that is being used. It is important to check the operating system’s documentation or the manufacturer’s website to ensure compatibility.
- Cabling: The drive also requires a SAS cable to connect to the system. The cable must be compatible with the SAS interface and have the necessary number of connectors to connect the drive.
