Product Description
The Dell 4713C is a high-performance hard drive designed for demanding enterprise environments, particularly servers and Storage Area Networks (SANs). With a capacity of 18GB, it is suitable for operating systems, critical applications, or as part of a high-speed RAID array where capacity is secondary to I/O performance. The drive utilizes a Fibre Channel interface, which provides a reliable and fast connection with advanced error handling, essential for mission-critical data. The 2Gb/s transfer rate ensures quick data access and high throughput. This drive operates at a rotational speed of 10000 RPM, significantly faster than standard 7200 RPM drives. This higher speed translates directly into lower seek times and improved random access performance, making it ideal for transactional workloads, databases, and other applications that require rapid data retrieval. The 8MB cache buffer further aids performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, reducing the need for mechanical disk access. Built in a 3.5-inch form factor, the Dell 4713C is designed for installation in standard server drive bays. Its enterprise-grade construction ensures reliability for continuous operation. While specific features like hot-swappability are dependent on the server system, Fibre Channel drives are commonly used in environments where such capabilities are standard for maintenance and uptime. This drive is a solid choice for applications demanding high I/O performance and data integrity.
