Description
Interface and Data Transfer Rate
“Interface and Data Transfer Rate” refers to the interface used to connect the Western Digital Ultrastar 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 128MB Hard Drive (0F22903) to a computer or storage system, and the maximum speed at which data can be transferred between the drive and the host.
Interface: The hard drive uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed, serial data transfer interface designed for data storage applications. SAS interface supports faster data transfer rates and allows for multiple hard drives to be connected to a single host.
Data Transfer Rate: The Western Digital Ultrastar 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 128MB Hard Drive supports a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is the fastest data transfer rate available for SAS interface. This high data transfer rate allows for faster data access and improved system performance. The drive also supports backward compatibility with SAS 6 Gbps and SAS 3 Gbps, allowing it to be used in a variety of different systems. With the 12 Gbps SAS interface, it allows for faster data transfer rates and more efficient communication between the drive and the host.
Capacity and Form Factor
“Capacity and Form Factor” refers to the amount of storage space available on the Western Digital Ultrastar 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 128MB Hard Drive (0F22903) and its physical dimensions.
Capacity: The hard drive has a capacity of 6TB, which is capable of storing a large amount of data. This high storage capacity makes it suitable for use in enterprise-class servers and storage systems, as well as other high-demand applications that require large amounts of storage space.
Form Factor: The Western Digital Ultrastar 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 128MB Hard Drive has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for internal hard drives. This form factor is compatible with most server and storage systems that use 3.5-inch bays, it is designed to fit into standard drive bays, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of systems. This form factor is also industry standard, so it will be compatible with many existing systems.
Hot-Swap Capabilities
“Hot-Swap Capabilities” refers to the ability of the Western Digital Ultrastar 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 128MB Hard Drive (0F22903) to be easily replaced or exchanged without shutting down the system.
The Western Digital Ultrastar 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS 128MB Hard Drive (0F22903) has Hot-Swap capabilities which means it can be removed and replaced while the system is still powered on. This feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without disrupting the operation of the system. Hot-swap capability allows for easy replacement of failed drives and upgrades to the system without the need for a system shut-down, reducing downtime and increasing system availability. It also allows for easy integration into hot-swap drive bays in servers or storage systems. This feature makes it ideal for use in high-availability environments such as data centers, where minimizing downtime is a key consideration.
