Dell KC707 36GB 3Gb/s SAS 15000 3.5-inch 16MB Hard Drive

Product Description

The Dell KC707 is a high-performance enterprise-class hard disk drive (HDD) with a storage capacity of 36GB. It utilizes the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is standard in enterprise environments for its reliability, scalability, and performance advantages over SATA. The drive operates at a rapid 15000 RPM rotational speed, enabling quick access to data and high throughput rates essential for demanding server applications. This drive features a 3Gb/s SAS interface, providing a robust connection for data transfer between the drive and the server or storage controller. The 16MB cache buffer helps to improve performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, reducing the need for the drive's mechanical components to spin up for every read or write operation. Its 3.5-inch form factor is typical for enterprise HDDs, offering a balance of capacity and physical size. Designed for mission-critical applications, the Dell KC707 is built for continuous operation and reliability in server and storage array environments. Its combination of high rotational speed, SAS interface, and enterprise-grade construction makes it suitable for tasks such as transaction processing, database management, and high-performance computing where data access speed and uptime are paramount. The 36GB capacity, while modest by today's standards, was common for high-speed drives in its era for specific performance-critical roles.
