Description
More Information
The Dell 161-BBUT is a 20 terabyte (TB) hard drive that spins at 7,200 rotations per minute (RPM) and uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a 12 gigabyte per second (GB/s) data transfer rate. It is intended for use in enterprise-grade storage systems and servers. This hard drive can store very large amount of data and can read/write data very quickly due to its high RPM and fast data transfer rate. The “NL” in the model number refers to the hard drive being a “nearline” drive, which is a type of hard drive that is optimized for infrequent access and is typically used for data archiving and backup.
In terms of power requirements, the hard drive requires a standard 12V power supply and will consume power accordingly. It’s recommended to check the power requirements of the device or system in which the drive will be installed to ensure compatibility.
It’s always a good idea to check the vendor’s documentation or consult with the vendor’s technical support team to ensure compatibility before installing a new hard drive.
High Performance
This is a 20TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12 Gbps hard drive, which would have similar performance characteristics to the drive I described in my previous response. The 7200 RPM speed is considered fast for a hard drive, providing relatively quick data access times for tasks that require sequential read and write operations. The SAS 12 Gbps interface is also a newer and faster interface than SATA, which will provide better overall performance.
The 20TB of storage capacity is also very large, making it a good option for tasks that require a lot of storage space such as backups, archiving, and media storage. However, it’s worth noting that hard drives, in general, have slower read-write performance compared to solid-state drives (SSDs) due to the mechanical nature of their data access.
It’s recommended to check the product specification and reviews before purchasing the Dell hard drive and evaluate if it is suitable for the intended usage. Keep in mind that the performance of the drive will also depend on the RAID configuration, controller, and the workload. Additionally, it’s important to make sure that the system where the drive is going to be installed is compatible with the drive and can support the SAS 12 Gbps interface.
Drive Compatibility
The compatibility of the Dell 20TB SAS 12GBPS NL hard drive, depends on the system or device in which it will be installed.
In terms of interface, the 20TB SAS 12GBPS NL hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-performance and reliable interface that is commonly used in data centers and other enterprise environments. It should be compatible with any system or device that supports SAS interface.
In terms of form factor, the hard drive is a NL (Nearline) form factor. NL hard drives are designed to offer high-performance and high-capacity storage at a lower cost per GB than traditional enterprise-level hard drives, they are typically used in applications that require high storage density and high-performance data transfer. It should be compatible with any system or device that can accommodate a NL form factor hard drive.
