What interface speed does the AL13SXB45EN support?

The AL13SXB45EN features a dual-port SAS 12 Gbit/s interface capable of sustaining 12 GB/s transfer rates. The dual-port design provides redundancy and failover capability for mission-critical systems, ensuring data can be accessed through either port if one fails.

Is this drive suitable for 24/7 continuous operation?

Yes, the AL13SXB45EN is engineered for 24/7 mission-critical operation. It achieves a Mean Time To Failure of 2 million hours and maintains an unrecoverable error rate of 1 per 10^16 bits read, making it reliable for continuous enterprise workloads in data centers and server environments.

What are the physical dimensions and weight of this drive?

The AL13SXB45EN is a 2.5-inch form factor drive with a height of 15 mm, making it suitable for compact server and storage array deployments. The compact size enables high-density configurations while maintaining enterprise-class performance and reliability specifications.

What buffer size does the AL13SXB45EN have?

The drive includes 128 MB of cache buffer, which improves sustained transfer rates and reduces latency during both sequential and random access patterns. This substantial buffer size supports burst data transfers common in enterprise database and transactional workloads.

What is the rotational speed and how does it affect performance?

The AL13SXB45EN operates at 15000 RPM, delivering rapid data access and low rotational latency. This high spindle speed combined with the 128 MB buffer enables consistent performance for enterprise applications requiring fast random access and sustained I/O throughput.

Does this drive meet environmental compliance standards?

Yes, the AL13SXB45EN is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for enterprise data center deployments. These certifications ensure the drive meets industry standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
