Description
More Information
The HPE 793703-B21 8TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS LFF SC Internal Hard Drive is a high-performance storage device designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It is a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive, which means it uses the SAS interface to connect to a host controller and communicate with the system.
The drive has a storage capacity of 8TB, which is a large amount of storage space for storing large amounts of data, such as videos, images, and other multimedia content. It has a rotation speed of 7.2K RPM (revolutions per minute), which is slower than 10K RPM drives but still offers faster data transfer and access times than standard hard drives.
The drive also features a 12GBps SAS interface, which is a high-speed data transfer standard that allows for faster data transfer between the drive and the host controller. This is useful for applications that require high-speed data transfer, such as video editing and large data backups.
The drive is a Large Form Factor (LFF) drive, which means it is physically larger than a Small Form Factor (SFF) drive. LFF drives typically have a higher storage capacity and are used in larger servers and storage systems.
The drive is also a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) which encrypts all data on the drive at rest automatically and transparently, providing advanced data protection.
Smart Carriers
The HPE 793703-B21 Smart Carriers HDD is a hard drive that is designed to be used in conjunction with HPE Smart Carrier technology. This technology allows for the easy installation and removal of the hard drive from the server or storage system without the need for any tools.
The drive itself is a high-performance storage device with a storage capacity of 8TB and a rotation speed of 7.2K RPM (revolutions per minute). It also features a 12GBps SAS interface for fast data transfer and a Large Form Factor (LFF) design for use in larger servers and storage systems.
The Smart Carrier technology used with this drive provides a number of benefits. It allows for easy installation and removal of the drive, making maintenance and upgrades much simpler. It also provides enhanced data protection by encrypting all data on the drive at rest automatically and transparently.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a data transfer interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It is a point-to-point interface that allows for faster data transfer between the host controller and the storage device. SAS is an evolution of the parallel SCSI interface, which was commonly used in the past.
SAS uses a serial data transfer method, which allows for faster data transfer rates compared to parallel SCSI. It also supports a wider range of data transfer rates, from 3Gbps to 12Gbps, which allows for more flexibility in terms of performance.
SAS also supports hot-swapping, which allows for the replacement of a failed drive without having to shut down the system. This feature is especially useful in enterprise-level servers and storage systems, as it allows for quick and easy maintenance and upgrades.
SAS also supports multiple initiators and targets, which allows for the connection of multiple hosts and storage devices in a single SAS domain. This feature is useful for creating high-availability storage systems, which can provide better performance and data protection.
