Description
Overview of 4TB Hard Drive
The IBM 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Nearline Hard Drive (part number 00FN208) is a high-capacity storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes (TB) and a rotation speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). The hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and supports a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second (GBPS).
The hard drive is designed for nearline storage, which means it is optimized for infrequent data access and is typically used for archival and backup purposes. It is a 3.5-inch form factor hot-swap drive, which means it can be easily replaced while the system is running without requiring a reboot.
The IBM 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Nearline Hard Drive is designed for use in high-availability and mission-critical applications, and features advanced data protection technologies to ensure high data integrity and reliability. The hard drive is also Energy Star compliant, which means it is designed to be energy-efficient and reduce power consumption.
Comparison
The IBM 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS 12GBPS Nearline Hard Drive (part number 00FN208) can be compared with similar hard drives from other manufacturers that also offer 4TB of storage capacity and 7.2K RPM speed, and use the SAS interface with 12 Gbps data transfer rate.
One such example is the Seagate Exos 7E8 4TB 7.2K SAS 12Gbps Hard Drive. It offers similar features as the IBM drive such as high-capacity storage, 7.2K RPM speed and 12 Gbps data transfer rate over SAS interface. It also has support for advanced data protection features and is designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems.
Another example is the HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 4TB 7.2K SAS 12Gbps Hard Drive, which also offers high-capacity storage, 7.2K RPM speed, and 12 Gbps data transfer rate over SAS interface. It is designed for use in high-availability and mission-critical applications and includes advanced data protection.
