⚠️ Good for & Limitations
Strengths:
-
Designed for enterprise / data center usage: 24×7 operation, RAID environments, bulk storage.
-
Large cache helps with bursts and write/read caching.
-
Relatively low idle power consumption for its class.
-
Robust reliability/durability metrics.
Things to Watch / Possible Drawbacks:
-
7,200 RPM drives generate more heat and noise than lower-RPM or SSD solutions; cooling needs to be adequate.
-
Latency and performance will be lower than SSDs or high-RPM SAS drives, especially for random I/O heavy workloads.
-
Power draw when active is not trivial; in multi-drive setups (e.g. racks), overall power and cooling should be planned.
-
Because it’s enterprise-class, cost is higher per GB compared to consumer drives.
