What is the storage capacity and spindle speed of the Dell GM1R8?

The Dell GM1R8 provides 300GB of storage capacity with a 15000 RPM spindle speed. This combination delivers high-performance data access suitable for enterprise storage arrays and server environments requiring consistent throughput and low latency for transactional workloads.

What interface does the GM1R8 use and what is its transfer rate?

The GM1R8 uses a SAS interface with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. This high-speed interface ensures compatibility with modern enterprise storage controllers and servers while providing sufficient bandwidth to sustain full drive performance without bottlenecking data transfers.

Is the GM1R8 compatible with Dell EqualLogic storage systems?

Yes, the GM1R8 is designed for use with Dell EqualLogic PS4100 and PS6100 storage systems. The drive features hot-plug capability, allowing field replacement without system downtime in these redundant storage array configurations.

What form factor is the GM1R8 and why does it matter?

The GM1R8 uses a 2.5-inch form factor, which enables high-density storage configurations in space-constrained datacenter environments. This compact size allows more drives per unit of physical space compared to larger form factors while maintaining enterprise performance specifications.

Can the GM1R8 be replaced without shutting down the system?

Yes, the GM1R8 features hot-plug design, allowing field replacement without powering down the system. This capability is essential for production environments where continuous availability is required and minimizes unplanned downtime during drive maintenance or replacement.
