Dell 4D824 36GB 2Gb/s Fibre Channel 10000 3.5-inch 4MB Hard Drive

Product Description

The Dell 4D824 hard drive is engineered for demanding enterprise storage environments that require high speed and reliability. With a capacity of 36GB, it offers a solid foundation for storing critical data, applications, and operating systems. The drive utilizes a 2Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, which provides a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection ideal for SAN (Storage Area Network) deployments and other high-performance storage applications. This interface ensures rapid data transfer rates, significantly reducing bottlenecks in storage I/O operations. At the core of its performance is a rotational speed of 10000 RPM. This high spindle speed allows the drive's read/write heads to access data on the platters more quickly, resulting in faster seek times and improved overall throughput. Complementing the rotational speed is a 4MB cache, which acts as a buffer for frequently accessed data, further accelerating read and write operations. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for enterprise-grade drives, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server and storage system backplanes. This Dell 4D824 drive is a robust solution for servers and storage arrays that need to handle intensive workloads. Its combination of Fibre Channel connectivity, high rotational speed, and ample cache makes it suitable for applications such as database management, virtualization, and high-transaction environments. The drive's reliability is a key feature, designed for continuous operation in 24/7 data center settings, providing a dependable storage backbone for critical business data.
