Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of this drive is a 1.2TB storage capacity, providing ample space for operating systems, databases, and virtual machine files. The 10,000 RPM spindle speed enables fast data retrieval, which is essential for applications requiring low latency, such as transaction processing and real-time analytics. Coupled with the 12Gb/s SAS interface, it supports high-throughput data transfers, minimizing bottlenecks in multi-drive arrays.
The 128MB cache acts as a high-speed buffer, temporarily storing frequently accessed data to accelerate performance. This is particularly beneficial in environments with mixed read/write workloads, where the cache helps maintain consistent I/O speeds. The drive's internal design and 2.5-inch form factor allow it to fit into compact server bays without sacrificing capacity or speed.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Disk Format, Spindle Speed (rpm), Buffer. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Axiom hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive offers a storage capacity of 1.20 TB, providing ample space for operating systems, applications, databases, and large files in server or desktop environments. It is designed to handle enterprise workloads where reliable data storage is essential.
What is the spindle speed and why does it matter?
The drive has a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, which indicates how quickly the platters inside the drive rotate. Higher RPM speeds, like 10K, result in faster data access times and reduced latency, making this drive suitable for applications that require quick read/write operations, such as database servers or virtualization platforms.
What type of interface does this drive use?
This drive uses a SAS interface with a 12Gb/s standard. SAS interfaces are common in enterprise environments due to their high reliability, dual-port capability for redundancy, and support for advanced error correction. The 12Gb/s bandwidth ensures fast data transfer rates, which is beneficial for intensive storage tasks.
Is this drive hot-swappable and what does that mean?
Yes, this drive is hot-swappable, meaning it can be removed and replaced while the server is still running. This feature minimizes downtime in critical systems, as drives can be serviced or upgraded without shutting down the entire server, which is essential for maintaining continuous operations in data centers.
What is the form factor and cache size?
The drive has a 2.5-inch form factor, which is a small form factor ideal for space-constrained server racks and compact systems. It includes a 128MB cache buffer, which acts as temporary high-speed memory to store frequently accessed data, improving overall performance by reducing the time needed to read from or write to the disk.
Which Dell servers is this drive compatible with?
This drive is compatible with various Dell PowerEdge server models, including the R440, R460, R740, R740xd, R940, R640, R6415, R7415, and the T640 tower. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into these systems, providing reliable storage for business-critical applications and data management.
