FAQ
What server models is this hard drive compatible with?
This drive is specifically validated for Cisco UCS servers including C240 M4 rack-mount, B200 M4 blade, C220 M3 rack-mount, C220 M4 rack-mount, and C240 M3 rack-mount configurations. It serves as a direct replacement or expansion drive in these enterprise server environments.
What is the difference between 512e and other disk formats?
512e (512-byte emulation) is an advanced format that uses 4K physical sectors while maintaining compatibility with legacy 512-byte logical sectors. This format improves error correction capabilities and storage efficiency compared to traditional 512n formats, making it better suited for modern enterprise storage systems.
Can this drive be hot-swapped while the server is running?
Yes, this drive features both hot-swap and hot-plug capabilities. This means you can install, remove, or replace the drive while the server remains powered on and operational, eliminating downtime for maintenance or upgrades in compatible server enclosures.
What is the advantage of 12Gb/s SAS over slower interfaces?
The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides significantly higher data transfer rates compared to 6Gb/s SAS or SATA interfaces. This increased bandwidth reduces data transfer bottlenecks in server environments, particularly beneficial for applications involving large files, databases, or virtualized workloads.
How does the 128MB cache buffer improve performance?
The 128MB cache buffer acts as high-speed memory that stores frequently accessed data. This reduces the need to read directly from the physical platters, accelerating both read and write operations. The larger cache size helps maintain consistent performance during intensive server workloads.
What type of warranty comes with this hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive includes a 5-year limited warranty. This extended coverage period reflects the drive's enterprise-grade construction and reliability for server deployments. The warranty provides protection against manufacturing defects for long-term peace of mind in business environments.
