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

Description

The EMC 5050388 is a high-performance 3.5-inch hard drive with 300GB of storage capacity and a rotational speed of 10000RPM. It utilizes a SAS 6Gb/s interface for fast data transfer, but its key distinguishing feature is the included interposer that enables connectivity to Fibre Channel networks. This makes it particularly suitable for Storage Area Network (SAN) environments where Fibre Channel is the preferred protocol. This drive is engineered for demanding enterprise applications that require both speed and the ability to integrate with existing Fibre Channel infrastructure. The combination of a fast spindle speed and a high-speed interface ensures low latency and high throughput, critical for applications such as databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for many enterprise storage solutions. By providing a bridge between SAS and Fibre Channel, the EMC 5050388 offers flexibility in storage network design. It allows organizations to leverage the performance benefits of SAS drives within a Fibre Channel SAN, potentially reducing costs and simplifying management. This drive is a robust solution for environments seeking enhanced data access speeds and specialized network compatibility.
