Dell R4780 73GB Ultra-320 SCSI 10000 3.5-inch Hard Drive

Product Description

The Dell R4780 is a 73GB enterprise-class hard drive that utilizes the Ultra320 SCSI interface. This interface provides a high-speed connection capable of data transfer rates up to 320MB/s, making it suitable for demanding server applications where quick access to data is critical. The drive operates at a rotational speed of 10000 RPM, which significantly reduces seek times compared to slower drives, further enhancing performance for read and write operations. Its 3.5-inch form factor is standard for many server environments, allowing for easy integration into existing drive bays. With a capacity of 73GB, this drive is ideal for use in servers that require a balance between storage space and high performance, such as database servers, application servers, or boot drives for operating systems. The Ultra320 SCSI protocol offers robust connectivity and is well-suited for environments where reliability and data integrity are paramount. Many enterprise drives of this type are designed to be hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and replaced while the server is still running, allowing for maintenance or drive replacement without causing downtime. This Dell R4780 drive is typically found in Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays. It often includes onboard cache memory (commonly 8MB or 16MB) to buffer data and improve performance. The combination of high rotational speed, fast interface, and enterprise-grade design makes this 73GB Ultra320 SCSI hard drive a reliable component for mission-critical storage solutions that demand consistent performance and uptime.
