900GB 10K SAS drive for HP Gen8 servers

This new HP EG0900FBVFQ is a 900GB 10000RPM 2.5-inch SAS hard drive rated at 6Gb/s. It ships with the HP Smart Carrier caddy for direct installation into compatible HP Gen8 server bays. The drive is built for enterprise workloads that demand consistent rotational speed and SAS connectivity.

Suits Gen8 bays needing 900GB at 10K RPM

This drive fits administrators replacing a failed unit or expanding storage in HP Gen8 servers that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives with a Smart Carrier. Buyers whose servers require a different carrier design, a 3.5-inch form factor, or a higher interface speed should look at other models. Those needing solid-state latency or larger single-drive capacities will also need a different product class.

6Gb/s SAS interface determines controller

The drive communicates over a 6Gb/s SAS link, so the host controller or backplane must support that signalling rate. A mismatch here will prevent the drive from operating at its rated performance or being recognised at all. Verify the server or storage array specification for 6Gb/s SAS support before purchase.

Questions about this item

How does the 10000RPM spindle speed affect sustained throughput on the SAS 6Gb/s interface?

The 10000RPM rotation delivers high sequential read and write rates for continuous workloads, while the SAS 6Gb/s link provides up to 6 Gbit/s bandwidth to keep the pipeline full during long transfers.

What heat and power impact should I expect when the EG0900FBVFQ runs all day in a Gen8 server bay?

The 2.5-inch form factor and 1.0 pound weight allow dense packing, and the drive draws typical SAS power levels for 10K RPM operation; the included Smart Carrier tray helps airflow management in HP Gen8 chassis.

Which controller or backplane must my system already have to use the SAS 6Gb/s interface on this drive?

A SAS 6Gb/s compatible host bus adapter, RAID controller or server backplane with 2.5-inch SAS bays is required; the drive includes the HP Smart Carrier caddy for direct installation in Gen8 drive cages.
