EMC 5048619 146GB 15000RPM Fibre Channel 4Gb/s 3.5-Inch Hard Drive for CLARiiON CX Series Storage System

Product Description

The EMC 5048619 is a high-performance 146GB enterprise-class hard drive specifically designed for use within EMC CLARiiON CX Series storage systems. It utilizes a Fibre Channel (FC) interface, which is a standard for high-speed data transfer in Storage Area Networks (SANs), offering robust connectivity and low latency. The drive operates at a rapid 15000 RPM rotational speed, significantly reducing seek times and improving overall data access performance compared to lower-speed drives. With a 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, this drive is capable of high throughput, making it suitable for demanding applications that require fast read and write operations. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for enterprise hard drives, providing ample physical space for the platters and read/write heads necessary for its capacity and performance. This drive is built for continuous operation in 24/7 environments, ensuring reliability and data integrity for critical storage needs. This 146GB drive is an integral component for expanding or maintaining the capacity and performance of EMC CLARiiON CX storage arrays. Its specifications are optimized for SAN environments where speed, reliability, and high I/O operations per second (IOPS) are paramount. By leveraging Fibre Channel technology and a 15000 RPM spindle speed, the EMC 5048619 delivers the performance required for mission-critical data storage and retrieval.
