Description
Overview of 2.4TB HDD
The 400-BBDY Dell 2.4TB Hard Disk Drive is a high-performance, SAS-12GBPS interface hard drive that offers a large storage capacity of 2.4TB. It is designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems, and is built to withstand the demands of heavy workloads and high-traffic environments.
This hard drive utilizes a 10K RPM spindle speed and a 512E format, providing fast data access and high performance for demanding applications such as data warehousing, video streaming and online transaction processing.
Additionally, it has a 2.5 inch SFF form factor and 256MB of cache memory, making it compatible with a wide range of systems and allowing for fast data transfer.
2.5 inch SFF Systems
2.5 inch Small Form Factor (SFF) systems are computer systems that use smaller, 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state drives (SSD) as opposed to the standard 3.5-inch drives. These smaller drives allow for more compact, space-saving designs and can be used in a wide range of devices such as laptops, servers, and storage arrays.
The 400-BBDY Dell 2.4TB Hard Disk Drive is designed to work with 2.5 inch SFF systems, making it an ideal storage solution for these types of devices. The smaller form factor also allows for improved thermal efficiency, which can help to prolong the lifespan of the drive and reduce the risk of overheating. Additionally, 2.5 inch SFF drives are typically more lightweight and portable than their 3.5-inch counterparts.
Cache Memory and 512E Technology
Cache memory is a high-speed memory buffer that temporarily stores frequently accessed data for quick retrieval. The 400-BBDY Dell 2.4TB Hard Disk Drive comes with 256MB of cache memory. This allows the drive to quickly access frequently used data, increasing overall performance and reducing the time it takes to access data.
512E is a hard drive format that has a native 512-byte sector size, but emulates 512-byte sector size for backward compatibility with legacy systems that expect to use 512-byte sectors. This technology allows the drive to be compatible with both new and older systems, and also allows for improved performance and data integrity. The 512E format also enables the drive to efficiently handle large data blocks and support advanced features like encryption and data protection.
The combination of 256MB cache and 512E technology in the 400-BBDY Dell 2.4TB Hard Disk Drive provides high performance and data integrity, making it suitable for a wide range of applications and environments.
