Average seek time on SATA is 9. Average seek time on SATA is 3. MTBF is a statistical measure of drive reliability. BER is a measure of read error rates for disk drives. SAS drives are 10x more reliable for read errors. The opinions expressed above are the personal opinions of the authors, not of Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Rotational Latency Rotational latency sometimes called rotational delay or just latency is the delay waiting for the rotation of the disk to bring the required disk sector under the read-write head HDD Spindle [rpm] Average Rotational Latency ms 4, 7.
Heat, Electricity, Noise Hard disk drives use more electricity to rotate the platters, generating heat and noise. Since no such rotation is needed in solid state drives, they use less power and do not generate heat or noise. Fragmentation The performance of HDD drives worsens due to fragmentation; therefore, they need to be periodically defragmented.
SSD drive performance is not impacted by fragmentation. So defragmentation is not necessary. Components HDD contains moving parts - a motor-driven spindle that holds one or more flat circular disks called platters coated with a thin layer of magnetic material. Read-and-write heads are positioned on top of the disks; all this is encased in a metal case SSD has no moving parts; it is essentially a memory chip.
It is interconnected, integrated circuits ICs with an interface connector. There are three basic components - controller, cache and capacitor. SSD drives are lighter than HDD drives because they do not have the rotating disks, spindle and motor. Dealing with vibration The moving parts of HDDs make them susceptible to crashes and damage due to vibration. View all hard-drives. More Information. Contact Information. The Company. Perhaps it's just a useful turn of phrase that doesn't need addressing?
The Innovator's Dilemma is literally about this topic- physical disk sizes. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Small-form-factor 2.
Large-form-factor 3. Improve this answer. So for you, it really is just done to the issue of larger disks? In general, if you don't need those, you don't need LFF? Again, this is a low-end server, but why do you suppose it's configured that way? Because people looking for low-end servers are likely to buy cheap, larger disks SATA, in particular. An ML is at the bottom of the HP product line, so potential buyers may not want the expense of higher-end disks.
I appreciate all of that, but in my experience, LFF drives don't seem to be much cheaper than SFF these days for capacities where both form factors are available , so why would a low-end LFF box actually be much cheaper than an SFF one with the same disks aside from the form factor?
That leaves just the high capacity issue, which to me doesn't seem like something that is weighted towards small companies. Can you see my confusion? Can you provide specifics of what you're looking at? Are they really only for people who also want to mix multi-TB drives in the same cage or perhaps people who already have a box with just LFF bays and need some more disks?
Does that sound about right? JamesRyan JamesRyan 8, 2 2 gold badges 23 23 silver badges 36 36 bronze badges.
