HP 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA server drive

This HP MM0500GBAK is a 500 GB 2.5 inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM over a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It ships new with an HP Smart Carrier caddy designed for Gen8 server bays. The drive is built for desktop and server chassis that accept 2.5 inch SATA drives.

Suited for capacity-focused server arrays

The drive fits administrators who need affordable bulk storage in HP Gen8 or compatible 2.5 inch hot-swap bays. It is not for laptop upgrades because the carrier and Z-height target server sleds. Buyers who want solid-state speed or silent operation should look at SSDs instead.

500 GB handles OS and light data workloads

Five hundred gigabytes comfortably holds a hypervisor, log files and modest application datasets. The mechanical 7200 RPM platters deliver consistent sequential throughput for archival tasks. Random I/O intensive databases or high-transaction workloads will exceed the drive's IOPS headroom.

Questions about this item

Does the MM0500GBAK include the Smart Carrier caddy so it fits directly into a Gen8 server bay?

Yes, the drive ships with the HP Smart Carrier caddy that locks into Gen8 2.5-inch hot-plug bays without extra parts.

Will the 6 Gb/s SATA interface negotiate down to 3 Gb/s if my backplane only supports the older speed?

The SATA 6 Gb/s link auto-negotiates to 3 Gb/s on legacy backplanes, so the drive remains fully functional.

After installation, how can I confirm the MM0500GBAK is recognised at 7200 RPM and 500 GB?

Check the server BIOS or RAID controller utility — it will list model MM0500GBAK, 500 GB capacity and 7200 RPM speed.
