The HP 2TB 6G 7.2K 3.5″ SC SATA LFF Server Hard Drive is a robust storage solution designed for HP ProLiant servers and compatible systems. This 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) hard drive offers a generous 2TB of storage capacity, making it ideal for handling large volumes of data and supporting various applications and workloads.

With a rotational speed of 7,200 RPM, the drive provides reliable performance with an average latency of 4.17 ms, suitable for general-purpose computing and data storage tasks. The SATA 6Gb/s interface enables data transfer rates up to 6Gb/s, ensuring smooth and efficient data operations.

The hard drive features a 64MB cache that helps improve performance by buffering frequently accessed data, reducing latency, and enhancing overall system responsiveness. It uses 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, which ensures compatibility with traditional 512-byte sector formats while supporting larger storage capacities.

This drive is compatible with HP ProLiant servers, although it does not support hot-swapping, meaning it requires a system shutdown for replacement or addition. This aspect is important to consider for environments where minimizing downtime is critical.

Reliability is a key feature, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours and a low error rate, ensuring long-term durability and data integrity. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C, suitable for standard data center conditions.

Power consumption is managed effectively, with 7.2W during active use and 5.0W when idle, balancing performance with energy efficiency. The drive’s dimensions (1.0 inches in height, 4.0 inches in width, and 5.8 inches in depth) and weight (1.6 lbs) make it a practical choice for server environments.

The standard carrier (SC) design ensures compatibility with HP ProLiant server enclosures. Overall, the HP 2TB 6G 7.2K 3.5″ SC SATA LFF Server Hard Drive provides a blend of high capacity, reliable performance, and efficient power consumption, making it an excellent choice for expanding storage in HP ProLiant servers and other compatible systems.
