  • 1 TB capacity stores large datasets

  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface supports high-throughput server workloads
  • 32 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother performance
  • Includes HP Smart Carrier caddy for tool-less hot-plug installation

HP 537716-B21 1TB SAS Enterprise Drive

This HP 537716-B21 drive provides 1TB of storage in a 3.5 inch form factor. It spins at 7200RPM with a 32MB buffer and uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The unit ships new and includes a Smart Carrier caddy for hot-plug server bays.

Suited for HPE server midline workloads

The drive targets enterprise and midline applications that demand high transaction throughput. It fits HPE Smart Carrier, Standard Hot Plug and Non-hot Plug carrier systems. It is not for systems lacking a SAS backplane or controller, nor for environments requiring 2.5 inch form factors or different carrier types.

SAS 6Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface paired with the LFF 3.5 inch Smart Carrier. The host must provide a SAS connection and a compatible drive bay. A SATA-only controller or an incompatible carrier will prevent installation and operation.

Questions about this item

Will the 537716-B21 work in a server that only has 3 Gb/s SAS backplanes?

The drive uses a 6 Gb/s SAS interface and will negotiate down to 3 Gb/s on older backplanes, so it will function at the slower speed.

How can I confirm the 1 TB SAS drive is healthy after installation?

Run the SMART self-test built into the drive firmware and verify the 32 MB cache is reported correctly in the RAID controller or OS disk utility.

Does the 537716-B21 ship with the Smart Carrier caddy or do I need a separate tray?

The HP Smart Carrier caddy is included with the drive, so no additional tray is required for hot-plug bays.
