Description
High Performance & RAID Facilities
The Dell 400-ALXT is a high-performance SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) solid-state drive (SSD) that is optimized for mix-use workloads, which means it can handle a balance of read and write operations. It is equipped with 800GB of storage capacity and a 12 Gbps data transfer rate.
The drive uses MLC (multi-level cell) NAND flash memory, which is a type of flash memory that stores two bits per cell, making it more durable than TLC (triple-level cell) memory. This makes the drive more reliable for write-heavy workloads, where the durability of the memory cells is more important.
The drive has a 2.5-inch form factor and is designed for hot-swap use, which means it can be easily replaced without shutting down the system. The SAS interface provides faster data transfer speeds and improved reliability compared to SATA-based SSDs. The 12 Gbps data transfer rate is the fastest currently available for SAS-based SSDs.
It also provides RAID facilities, which means it can be used in RAID configurations to improve performance, reliability and/or capacity. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to work together to improve storage performance, reliability, and/or capacity. RAID can be implemented using either software or hardware and there are several RAID levels such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, etc. RAID can be beneficial for servers and other high-performance computing applications.
This drive is well suited for data center, enterprise and business environments where high performance and reliability are essential.
Hot Swap & Reliability
The Dell 400-ALXT is a 800GB SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) solid-state drive (SSD) that has a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps and a form factor of 2.5 inches. It is intended for use in a mix of different workloads, such as read-intensive, write-intensive, or a combination of both. It uses Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory technology, which provides a balance of performance and endurance. The drive is designed for hot-swap capability, meaning it can be replaced without shutting down the system, providing ease of maintenance and reducing downtime. Additionally, this drive is designed for reliability, it features advanced wear-leveling and error correction codes, to ensure data integrity and prolong the drive’s lifespan.
Suitable Benefits
The 400-ALXT Dell 800GB SAS 12GBPS 2.5-inch Mix Use MLC Hot Swap SSD has several benefits that make it suitable for certain types of workloads and applications:
- High performance: With a 12 Gbps data transfer rate, the drive can quickly transfer large amounts of data, making it suitable for applications that require fast data access and low latency.
- Mix of read and write workloads: The “Mix Use” in the name indicates that the drive is optimized for a mix of read and write workloads, making it suitable for applications such as online transaction processing and database management.
- Easy maintenance: The “Hot Swap” feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without having to shut down the system. This can reduce downtime and improve overall system availability.
- Cost-effective: The drive uses MLC NAND flash memory, which is less expensive than SLC but still provides good performance. This makes it a cost-effective option for organizations on a budget.
- Durability: SAS is a robust interface and is built to withstand high-performance and heavy-duty workloads.
- Data Security: SAS interface supports hardware-based encryption to protect against unauthorized access to data stored on the drive.
400-ALXT Dell 800GB SAS 12GBPS 2.5-inch Mix Use MLC Hot Swap SSD is suitable for applications that require high performance, a mix of read and write workloads, easy maintenance, cost-effectiveness, durability, and data security.
