IBM 1814-6030 – 3TB 7.2K FC-SAS NL DDM 16pack

Detailed Description:

The IBM 1814-6030 package is a bulk storage solution designed for enterprise environments, offering sixteen 3TB Near-Line Serial Attached SCSI (NL-SAS) hard disk drives (HDD). Each drive operates at a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, optimized for high-capacity storage solutions. This package is tailored for the IBM DS5020 storage array system, providing a massive total storage capacity of 48 terabytes (TB) across all drives. The NL-SAS interface represents a hybrid approach, combining the high reliability and performance of traditional SCSI drives with the affordability of SATA drives, making it an ideal solution for secondary storage, bulk data storage, and backup purposes. The 7.2K RPM speed of these drives offers a balance between energy efficiency and performance, suitable for data archiving and applications with less stringent access time requirements. By integrating these drives into the DS5020 system, organizations can significantly expand their storage capabilities, catering to the demands of growing data volumes while maintaining cost efficiency and reliability.
