EMC 005049821 300GB 10000RPM SAS 6Gb/s 2.5-Inch Hard Drive for VNX 5100 / 5300 Storage System

Product Description

The EMC 005049821 is a high-performance 2.5-inch SAS hard drive with a 300GB capacity, specifically tailored for use within EMC VNX 5100 and 5300 storage systems. Its 10000 RPM rotational speed provides significantly faster data access times compared to 7200 RPM drives, making it ideal for applications that require rapid data retrieval and processing, such as transactional databases and virtual machine environments. The drive utilizes the SAS 6Gb/s interface, which ensures robust connectivity, high data throughput, and enhanced reliability essential for enterprise storage. SAS technology offers features like dual-porting for redundancy and improved performance, along with superior error handling and management capabilities compared to SATA. This makes it a preferred choice for mission-critical storage solutions where data integrity and availability are paramount. Designed as a component for the VNX platform, this drive is built to meet the demanding operational requirements of enterprise storage. Its small form factor (SFF) allows for higher drive density within storage arrays, enabling more capacity and performance in a smaller footprint. The 005049821 is engineered for 24/7 operation, offering the reliability and endurance expected from enterprise-grade storage media, ensuring consistent performance for the VNX systems it serves.
