HP 649401-001 500 Gb SATA Drive

This HP 649401-001 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 500 Gb capacity. It spins at 7200 Rpm and connects through a Serial Ata-300 interface. The unit ships with a tray for server installation. It suits administrators adding midline storage to compatible HP systems.

Upgrade from smaller midline drives

The drive replaces lower-capacity 3.5 inch SATA units in the same midline class. The jump is worth it when current bays are full and the array controller supports the 300 MB/s link speed. It does not serve workloads that demand faster spindle speeds or larger caches.

SATA 300 interface limits

The Serial Ata-300 interface caps sustained throughput at 300 MB/s regardless of spindle rate. Mechanical latency at 7200 Rpm remains the bottleneck for random I/O patterns. The 3.5 inch form factor requires a matching drive bay and backplane power connector. Builders needing higher throughput or smaller modules must choose a different interface standard.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5-inch drive tray fit a standard server drive bay?

The 3.5-inch form factor matches standard server drive bays and the included tray secures with typical screw holes.

How do I install the SATA drive and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the tray, secure it with screws, connect the SATA data and power cables, then ensure the tray locks fully into the bay.

When should I plan to replace this 7200 RPM midline drive?

Midline drives are rated for nearline workloads; monitor SMART data and replace if reallocated sectors or seek errors appear.
