  • Fast data access with 10000RPM rotation speed
  • 72GB capacity for enterprise storage needs

  • 5" form factor fits BL460C, BL465C, BL620, BL620C G7 servers

Capacity and Interface

This HP 384842-B21 drive delivers 72 GB of storage on a 2.5 inch SAS interface spinning at 10000 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It is built for HP blade servers such as the BL620, BL620C, BL460C and BL465C G7. The small form factor fits dense server bays where space is limited.

Fit and Alternatives

This drive suits administrators maintaining or expanding compatible G7 blade systems that require a 72 GB 10K SAS disk. It will not fit 3.5 inch bays, SATA-only backplanes, or newer server generations that demand larger capacities or different drive carriers. Buyers needing more capacity or a different interface should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The SAS interface combined with a 10000 RPM spindle and 72 GB capacity is the single specification that determines compatibility. Only systems designed for 2.5 inch SAS drives at this speed and capacity can use this part. Verify the server backplane and drive carrier before purchase.

Questions about this item

How long does the 10000RPM SAS drive last before it needs replacement?

The 72GB 10000RPM SAS drive is built for continuous server operation; replace it when SMART data reports reallocated sectors or after the rated duty cycle ends

What performance limit appears first during sustained workloads on this 72GB SAS drive?

The 10000RPM spindle and 16MB cache set the sustained throughput ceiling; sequential transfers will hit the mechanical transfer-rate limit before the SAS interface saturates

How much heat and noise does the 2.5-inch 10000RPM SAS drive produce in all-day use?

The 2.5-inch 10000RPM SAS drive generates typical enterprise 2.5-inch heat and acoustic levels; ensure the BL460c, BL465c, BL620 or BL620c G7 bay airflow meets the chassis specification
