Product Description
The HP 3RA2988-AA is a high-performance 3.5-inch hard drive specifically designed for enterprise-level storage solutions. It boasts a capacity of 36.4GB and utilizes a Fibre Channel interface operating at 2 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), which is known for its reliability, speed, and suitability for SAN (Storage Area Network) environments. The drive spins at a rapid 10000 RPM, significantly reducing seek times and improving overall data access performance compared to slower drives. This drive is equipped with an 8MB cache, which acts as a buffer to store frequently accessed data, further enhancing read and write speeds. A key feature is its hot-pluggable capability, allowing the drive to be inserted or removed from a system while it is powered on and operational, without interrupting service. This is crucial for maintaining high availability in enterprise data centers, enabling maintenance or upgrades without downtime. The HP 3RA2988-AA is targeted at applications requiring high throughput and low latency, such as transaction processing, database management, and high-performance computing. Its combination of Fibre Channel connectivity, high rotational speed, and hot-swap functionality makes it a robust component for demanding storage infrastructures where performance and uptime are paramount.
