EMC 005052309 1.2TB 10000RPM SAS 6Gb/s 3.5-Inch Hard Drive for VNXe 3200 Series Storage Systems

Product Description

The EMC 005052309 is a high-performance enterprise hard drive engineered to meet the demanding storage requirements of the EMC VNXe 3200 Series Storage Systems. With a substantial capacity of 1.2 Terabytes, it offers ample space for storing critical business data, applications, and virtual machine environments. The drive operates at a rotational speed of 10000 RPM, which significantly reduces seek times and improves overall data access performance compared to slower drives, making it suitable for I/O-intensive workloads. Utilizing the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface operating at 6Gb/s, this drive ensures high throughput and reliable data transfer. SAS is a robust interface protocol designed for enterprise environments, offering features like dual-porting for redundancy and better performance, command queuing, and error recovery mechanisms. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for high-capacity enterprise drives, allowing for greater platter density and thus higher storage capacities. This specific drive is optimized for integration within the VNXe 3200 platform, ensuring seamless compatibility and performance. This drive is built for continuous operation and reliability, essential characteristics for storage systems that house critical business data. Its hot-swappable nature means it can be removed and replaced without powering down the storage system, allowing for maintenance or upgrades to be performed with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. The 005052309 is a key component for maintaining the performance, capacity, and availability of the VNXe 3200 storage solution.
