HPE 900 GB SAS 12Gb/s Enterprise Drive

This new HPE 870759-B21 is a 900 GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It is built for HPE servers running mission-critical and I/O-intensive application workloads. The drive delivers high performance and reliability for demanding enterprise environments.

Suits Server Operators Needing 10K SAS Performance

This drive fits administrators who require enterprise-class reliability backed by 3.35 million hours of qualification testing. It also suits teams needing HPE Digitally Signed Firmware for supply-chain security. Buyers who need more storage than 900 GB or who require a different interface should look at other options.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your server backplane or controller must support this exact connection standard. Without a matching SAS 12Gb/s host, the drive cannot function in the target system.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch form factor fit a standard SFF drive bay?

Yes, the 2.5-inch drive is designed for SFF bays and uses the HPE Smart Carrier that locks into the tray with a "do not remove" button to prevent accidental ejection.

What SAS backplane speed is required to install this 12Gb/s drive?

The drive operates on a 12Gb/s SAS interface and is backward compatible with 6Gb/s backplanes, but the controller must support SAS to recognise the drive.

When should the 900 GB drive be replaced based on the 3.35 million hour qualification?

The 3.35 million hour qualification reflects design testing, not a service interval; replace the drive when SMART alerts indicate wear or when capacity no longer meets workload demands.
