As a point-to-point connection, Fujitsu SAS drives help enterprises keep costs lower and maintain flexibility. The 2.5-inch hard disk drives offer up to 73.5GB of storage and 10K RPM - a perfect combination for high-end, mission-critical applications residing on database servers, storage arrays, and NAS and SAN systems.
With the 2.5-inch form-factor, a greater number of SAS drives can be installed in the space previously occupied by conventional 3.5-inch enterprise hard disk drives, resulting in improved input-output (IO) performance. Additionally, lower power consumption helps systems maintain reduced heat levels. The drives are also hot pluggable, so they can be inserted or removed without harming the data or the system while the entire system is still powered on.
The 3Gb SAS interface of the Fujitsu hard disk drives allows customers to take advantage of the increased performance associated with serial attached SCSI, while providing lower heat dissipation and lower acoustics.
- Mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) of 1,400,000 power-on hours
- The industry's first 2.5-inch small-form-factor serial-attached SCSI (SAS) interface
- Native Command Queuing, providing faster execution of operation commands
- Uses smaller connectors and cables than U320, a benefit acknowledged by the SCSI Trade Association (STA)
