HP 658427-001 1000Gb 7200 RPM SAS 3.5 inch internal hard drive

HP 658427-001 1000Gb SAS Hard Drive

This HP 658427-001 is a 1000Gb midline hard drive built for HP StorageWorks P2000 arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a SAS 6Gbits interface for direct attachment to compatible controllers. The 3.5 inch form factor includes a factory-fitted tray that locks into the P2000 drive bays. It is suited for administrators expanding capacity in existing P2000 enclosures.

Check SAS Controller and Bay Compatibility

Verify that your P2000 controller supports 6Gbits SAS signalling and that a 3.5 inch midline drive is listed on the hardware compatibility matrix. Confirm the enclosure has an available 3.5 inch bay with the correct backplane connector for the supplied tray. Ensure the firmware on both the controller and the enclosure is current before installing the new drive. Buyers using non-HP SAS controllers or 2.5 inch bays cannot use this unit.

Tray Simplifies Hot-Swap Installation

The included tray matches the P2000 latch mechanism so the drive can be inserted or removed without tools while the array remains powered. No separate caddy or mounting screws are required. The tray also aligns the SAS connector to the backplane automatically during insertion. No additional software, cables or rail kits are supplied with this package.
