FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Axiom hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive offers 1.80 TB of storage capacity, providing substantial space for server data, applications, and virtual machines. It balances capacity with performance features like 10,000 RPM speed and 128 MB cache to handle enterprise workloads effectively.
What form factor does this drive use, and is it hot-swappable?
This drive uses a 2.5-inch form factor, which is common in modern server bays for space efficiency. It is hot-swappable, meaning you can replace or install the drive without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
What interface does this hard drive support, and what are its speed capabilities?
It supports a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a 12Gb/s standard. This provides dedicated, full-duplex connections for fast and reliable data transfer, making it suitable for server environments where consistent throughput is critical.
What is the spindle speed, and how does it affect performance?
The spindle speed is 10,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which reduces latency compared to lower-RPM drives. This results in quicker data access times, benefiting applications that require frequent read/write operations, such as databases or virtualization hosts.
Does this drive include a cache, and what is its size?
Yes, it includes a 128 MB cache buffer. The cache stores frequently accessed data temporarily, improving overall drive performance by reducing the need to access the physical platters for every operation, which speeds up response times in server workloads.
What servers is this Axiom hard drive compatible with?
This drive is compatible with Axiom ProLiant servers, including specific models like the HP-Compaq ProLiant DL325 Gen11 and ML110 Gen11 (G11). It is designed for server environments, so ensure your server's drive bays support 2.5-inch SAS hot-swappable drives before purchase.
