EMC 5050388 MC 300GB 10000RPM SAS 6Gb/s 3.5-inch Hard Drive (SAS to Fibre Channel Interposer)

Product Description

The EMC 5050388 MC is a 300GB enterprise-grade hard drive designed for high-performance storage solutions. It spins at 10,000 RPM, offering faster data access and retrieval times compared to 7,200 RPM drives, making it suitable for demanding applications. The 6Gb/s SAS interface provides a reliable and high-speed connection, ensuring efficient data transfer for servers and storage systems. A key feature of this drive is the included SAS to Fibre Channel (FC) interposer. This specialized adapter allows a standard SAS drive to connect and operate within a Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure. This is particularly useful for environments that are transitioning to or already utilize Fibre Channel for its high bandwidth, low latency, and robust error handling capabilities, enabling SAS drives to integrate seamlessly into FC networks. With its 300GB capacity and 10,000 RPM speed, this drive is ideal for transactional databases, virtualization, and other I/O-intensive workloads where quick access to data is critical. The combination of enterprise SAS technology and the Fibre Channel interposer makes it a versatile component for complex storage architectures.
