Description
High Performance
The Dell 0F30146 Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS 256MB Enterprise Hard Drive is a high-performance hard drive designed for use in enterprise-class servers and storage systems.
One of the main factors that contribute to the high performance of this hard drive is its high storage capacity of 12TB. This allows for large amounts of data to be stored on the drive, which can improve overall system performance.
The drive also has a fast rotational speed of 7200 RPM, which allows for faster data transfer rates and quick access to stored data. This can improve the overall performance of the system and reduce the time it takes to access and process data.
The drive also uses a SATA 6 Gbps interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer rate and is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gbps and SATA 1.5 Gbps.
The drive is built to be reliable, it has Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, this means that the drive is designed to last for a long time without experiencing failure.
The drive is also designed to be energy-efficient, it has low power consumption which can help to reduce operating costs.
PowerVault Server
The PowerVault Server is a line of data storage systems produced by Dell. The Dell 0F30146 Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS 256MB Hard Drive is a high-performance hard drive that can be used with the PowerVault Server systems.
The PowerVault Server systems are designed for use in enterprise-class environments and provide high levels of data storage capacity and performance. The 12TB storage capacity of the Dell Western Digital Ultrastar hard drive, combined with its fast 7200 RPM rotational speed and large 256MB cache memory, makes it a suitable hard drive for use in PowerVault Server systems.
The hard drive also uses a SATA 6 Gbps interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer rate and is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gbps and SATA 1.5 Gbps. This can help improve the overall performance of the PowerVault Server system by allowing for faster data transfer rates and quick access to stored data.
The drive is built to be reliable, it has Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, this means that the drive is designed to last for a long time without experiencing failure.
The drive is also designed to be energy-efficient, it has low power consumption which can help to reduce operating costs.
In general, the Dell Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS 256MB Hard Drive is a suitable high-performance hard drive for use in PowerVault Server systems, providing high levels of storage capacity and performance, reliability and energy efficiency.
Compatibility
The Dell 0F30146 Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS hard drive is generally compatible with a wide range of systems and devices that use a 3.5-inch internal hard drive bay and a SATA interface. This includes servers, desktop computers, data centers, and storage systems.
The drive uses a standard 3.5-inch form factor, which is a common size for internal hard drives and is compatible with most systems that have a 3.5-inch hard drive bay.
It uses a SATA 6 Gbps interface, which is a widely used standard for connecting hard drives to computers and other devices. This interface is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gbps and SATA 1.5 Gbps, which means that the drive can be used with systems that use these older SATA interfaces.
It is also compatible with RAID configurations, which are commonly used in data centers and other enterprise-class environments, and can be used as a boot drive as well.
However, it’s important to note that there may be some compatibility issues with certain systems or devices that use non-standard hard drive bays or interfaces, so it’s always best to check the specifications of your system to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
It’s also important to check the operating system and any software that will be running on the system. The drive should be compatible with the operating system and any relevant software that will be used on the system.
