HPE 2TB SAS 12Gbps Midline Drive

This HPE 2TB midline hard drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM in a 3.5 inch form factor. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high availability and data integrity. The hot-swap carrier allows drive replacement without system downtime. Supplied new with zero hours of prior use.

Suits RAID arrays and transaction workloads

The drive suits administrators who need reliable midline capacity for RAID arrays, backup targets or high-transaction applications on SAS infrastructure. It is not for platforms that lack a 12Gb/s SAS backplane or hot-swap bays. Buyers needing smaller form factors or different interface protocols should consider other options.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your controller, backplane and cabling must support this exact interface speed and protocol. Without a matching SAS environment the drive cannot operate. Verify the host system accepts 3.5 inch hot-swap SAS drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2TB midline SAS drive or a larger capacity for bulk storage?

The 2TB midline SAS drive suits moderate bulk storage; larger capacities are available in the same 3.5" midline family if you need more space.

What does the 7200 RPM speed mean for everyday server workloads?

7200 RPM provides consistent throughput for sequential reads and writes typical of backup, archiving and near-line databases.

How does the 12Gbps SAS interface limit real-world transfer rates?

The 12Gbps SAS link caps at 12Gb/s; actual sustained throughput will be lower and depends on the controller and workload.
