HP StorageWorks P2000 2TB SATA Drive

This HP StorageWorks P2000 AW556A is a 2TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop and server storage. It operates at 7200 RPM with a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and ships as a bare drive. The unit is sold new and carries the HP Qualified Option designation.

Suits Servers Needing 3.0Gb/s SATA Drives

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept 3.5 inch SATA drives at 3.0Gb/s transfer rates. It is not for systems requiring 6Gb/s SATA throughput or 2.5 inch form factors. Buyers needing higher spindle speeds or larger capacities should look at other models.

Deciding Spec Is The 3.0Gb/s SATA Interface

The single specification that decides fit is the 3.0Gb/s SATA interface. Controllers and backplanes limited to this speed will recognise the drive at full performance. Faster 6Gb/s hosts will negotiate down, but the drive cannot exceed the stated transfer rate.

Questions about this item

What desktop chassis or server bay is needed to fit this 3.5" drive?

The drive uses the standard 3.5-inch form factor, so it fits any desktop tower or server chassis with a 3.5-inch internal bay and a SATA data and power connection.

Will this SATA 3.0Gb/s drive work if my motherboard or controller only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?

Yes, SATA is backward compatible, so the drive will operate at the slower 1.5Gb/s link speed when connected to an older controller.

How can I confirm the drive is running at its rated 7200 RPM and 3.0Gb/s transfer rate after installation?

Check the drive model AW556A in BIOS or use a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo to verify 7200 RPM and a SATA 3.0Gb/s negotiated link speed.
