Description
Reliability
The Dell 0F31002 Western Digital Ultrastar 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is designed to be a reliable hard drive for use in enterprise-class servers and storage systems.
One of the key factors that contribute to the reliability of this hard drive is its high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating. MTBF is a measure of the expected time between failures of a particular device or component, and the higher the MTBF rating, the more reliable the device or component is expected to be. The MTBF for the Dell Western Digital Ultrastar 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive is 2.5 million hours, which is an indication that the drive is designed to last for a long time without experiencing failure.
The drive also features advanced technologies such as RAID optimization and T10 Protection Information (T10 PI) which is a standard for protecting data integrity in storage systems. This can help prevent data corruption and loss in the event of a drive failure.
The drive is also designed to be energy-efficient, with low power consumption, which can help to reduce operating costs and increase the life of the drive.
The drive is also compatible with different RAID configurations, which are commonly used in data centers and other enterprise-class environments, RAID can help to protect data in case of a hard drive failure.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a type of interface that connects hard drives and other storage devices to a computer’s motherboard. SAS is a high-performance alternative to the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface and it is commonly used in enterprise-class servers and storage systems.
SAS uses a serial communication protocol, which means that data is transferred one bit at a time over a single communication channel. This allows for faster data transfer rates and improved data reliability compared to parallel communication protocols.
SAS also supports advanced features such as dual-port connectivity, which allows for improved data availability and faster data access. This means that the drive can be accessed from two different host adapters at the same time, providing a failover capability in case one host adapter fails.
SAS also supports different RAID configurations, which are commonly used in data centers and other enterprise-class environments, RAID can help to protect data in case of a hard drive failure.
SAS interface is also backwards compatible with SAS 6 Gbps and SAS 3 Gbps, which means that a SAS 12 Gbps drive can work with SAS 6 Gbps and SAS 3 Gbps host adapters and vice versa.
Compatibility Information
Compatibility refers to the ability of a device or component, such as the Dell 0F31002 Western Digital Ultrastar 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Hard Drive, to work properly and seamlessly with other devices or components in a system.
The Dell Western Digital Ultrastar 14TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 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 SAS 12 Gbps interface. This includes servers, data centers, and storage systems that are designed for use in enterprise-class environments.
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 is also compatible with different RAID configurations, which are commonly used in data centers and other enterprise-class environments, RAID can help to protect data in case of a hard drive failure.
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.
