HP AP858A 300GB 15000 RPM SAS 3.5" internal hard drive

HP P2000 300 GB SAS Enterprise Drive

The HP AP858A is a 300 GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive that spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s dual-port interface. It belongs to the HP P2000 series and is supplied in retail packaging as a new component. The drive is built for enterprise server environments where consistent throughput and dual-path redundancy matter.

Suited for Server Storage Arrays

This drive fits administrators expanding or repairing HP P2000 storage arrays and similar SAS-attached server platforms that accept 3.5 inch LFF dual-port drives. The 15000 RPM spindle speed supports workloads that demand low latency and high IOPS. Buyers who need a larger capacity drive or a different form factor for the same chassis should look elsewhere.

15000 RPM Spindle Speed

The 15000 RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance profile of the target array. It delivers the sustained throughput and access times expected in transaction-heavy server roles. Confirm that the host backplane and controller support 6Gb/s SAS dual-port operation before installation.
