Hard Disk Drive

Dell EMC offers a range of enterprise hard disk drives (HDDs) for the PowerEdge server line to meet the demands of enterprise workloads. These enterprise HDDs have been through a very stringent qualification and validation process and are thoroughly tested with PowerEdge platforms and OpenManage Systems Management tools. The Performance Optimized drives (10K and 15K SAS) are used in those applications requiring high reliability and performance and only available in 2.5” small form factor and only SAS interface. The Capacity Optimized drives (7.2K Nearline SAS and SATA) may provide much higher capacities, but reliability and performance are not as high when compared to Mission Critical drives. They are available in both 2.5” small form factor and 3.5” large form factor. Table 1 shown below has a complete listing of capacity points for each drive category. Overtime, new larger capacities will be introduced in line with the pace of HDD technology development, with lower latency and increased area density (for example: 2.4TB and 12TB recently released in CY2017 and 14TB will be available in CY2018). Working with leading drive manufacturers, Dell EMC continually offers innovative technologies to drive efficiency in your data center. In fact, Dell EMC works with multiple vendors in each capacity/performance/interface to expedite order fulfillment.
