According to Wang Xiaohu, chief business executive of Western Digital (WD) Shenzhen Representative Office, the current storage system is more embodied in the power consumption of hard disks. Therefore, low-power hard disks, RAID auto-disk group hibernation technologies, etc. can be used in storage solutions. , to effectively reduce the actual power consumption. Since high-definition requires a large capacity, as the hard disk capacity increases, the required power of the hard disk also increases. According to a rough calculation, currently, the power consumption of a 1TB hard disk is usually higher than 13.5 watts. If the power consumption of a hard disk can be reduced by 4W, it can save about 10 dollars per year in electricity consumption, and a system with 5,000 hard disks (small domestic centralized back-office storage scale). One year can save a very considerable amount of money. At the same time, the use of energy-saving hard disks can also solve problems such as cooling of air conditioners and thickening of cables caused by excessive heat, so as to reduce these hidden costs.
Green as the development direction of hard disk technology, hard disk manufacturers have also introduced green energy-saving technologies. For example, Western Digital's green hard disk drives save an average of 4 to 5 W of power compared to standard desktop hard drives, and uses Ramp Load technology to reduce head and disk surface friction and wear, thereby reducing overall drive power consumption. Wait.
In addition, energy savings can also be achieved through the heat dissipation system. For example, Infortrend controls the cooling system through the micro-control, and determines the operating speed of the storage device fan according to the ambient temperature of the equipment room, thereby reducing the power of the cooling system, thus achieving the goal of reducing power consumption and saving energy. Li Lei of North China Industrial Control Co., Ltd. suggested that a more energy-efficient central processing system, a highly available power supply system, and a more intelligent power-saving mode could be used. In terms of the power consumption of the storage system, a heat-dissipation structure design could be used, as well as temperature and fan. Speed ​​monitoring and so on.
When energy conservation as a concept has become a global consensus, the environmental protection and energy conservation of security is a responsibility. To be sure, in the future, energy conservation will become a new standard for measuring the technical content of security products.
The demand for energy consumption in the province is getting higher and higher.
