Description
Rotational Speed: 7.2K RPM
Rotational speed refers to the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) that a hard disk drive’s disk platter makes. 7.2K RPM means the disk platter in the Toshiba MG04SCA40EN hard drive rotates 7,200 times per minute. This affects the hard drive’s performance and determines how quickly data can be accessed from the disk platter. A higher RPM generally results in faster data access times.
Rotational speed is the speed at which a hard drive’s disk rotates, measured in Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). 7200 RPM means the disk inside the Toshiba MG04SCA40EN hard drive rotates 7,200 times in a minute. This higher speed results in faster data access and higher performance compared to lower RPM drives.
Reliability and Durability
Reliability refers to the ability of a hard drive to perform its intended function without failure over a specified period of time. Durability refers to the hard drive’s ability to withstand physical shocks and other environmental factors that can cause damage to the drive and data loss.
The Toshiba MG04SCA40EN 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS Near Line Hard Drive is designed for near line storage, which means it is intended for use in applications that require lower levels of data access, such as backup and archive storage. The drive is built with reliability and durability in mind, including features such as error correction and vibration protection, to help ensure the longevity and stability of stored data.
Data Transfer Rates
Data transfer rate is the speed at which data is moved from the hard drive to the computer, measured in Megabytes per Second (MB/s). The data transfer rate for the Toshiba MG04SCA40EN hard drive will depend on factors such as the interface used and the capabilities of the system it is connected to.
Generally, the SAS-12GBPS interface used in this drive supports high data transfer rates, providing fast and efficient data transfer.It is usually measured in MB/s (Megabytes per second).
The higher the data transfer rate, the faster the hard drive can read and write data, leading to improved overall performance. The specific data transfer rate of the Toshiba MG04SCA40EN 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS Near Line Hard Drive is not specified.
SAS-12GBPS Interface
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a type of interface used for connecting hard drives to computers. SAS-12GBPS refers to the latest version of SAS that supports a maximum data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second. This interface provides faster data transfer speeds, increased reliability, and improved scalability compared to previous versions of SAS.
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a data storage interface that provides high-speed communication between computer storage devices, such as hard drives, and a host computer. SAS-12GBPS refers to the latest version of SAS, which has a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gigabytes per second (12GB/s).
The SAS-12GBPS interface provides faster data transfer rates compared to older versions of SAS and helps improve the overall performance of the Toshiba MG04SCA40EN 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS Near Line Hard Drive.
