HPE 1.2TB SAS 10K SFF SC DS Harddisk

The HPE 1.2TB SAS 10K SFF SC DS Hard Disk is a high-performance storage solution tailored for HPE ProLiant servers and storage systems. This 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) hard disk provides a robust 1.2TB capacity, making it ideal for data-intensive applications that require substantial storage space and fast access speeds.

Operating at a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, this hard disk offers rapid data retrieval with an average latency of 2.9 ms. The SAS 12Gb/s interface ensures high-speed data transfer rates up to 12Gb/s, making it well-suited for demanding environments such as virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing.

The drive features a 128MB cache that improves performance by buffering frequently accessed data, thus enhancing overall system responsiveness. It uses 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, providing compatibility with traditional 512-byte sector formats while supporting larger storage capacities.

Designed for compatibility with HPE ProLiant servers, this hard disk supports hot-swapping, allowing users to replace or add drives without needing to power down the server. This feature is crucial for maintaining continuous server operation and minimizing downtime in mission-critical environments.

With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours and a low error rate, the HPE 1.2TB SAS 10K SFF SC DS Hard Disk is engineered for reliability and durability. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C, making it suitable for typical data center conditions.

The drive’s power consumption is well-managed, with 8.0W during active use and 5.5W when idle, balancing high performance with energy efficiency. Its compact dimensions (0.6 inches in height, 2.75 inches in width, and 3.95 inches in depth) and lightweight design (0.5 lbs) make it a practical choice for server environments.

The Smart Carrier (SC) design includes status indicator lights, allowing users to easily monitor the drive’s operational status. The dual-port SAS (DS) configuration enhances data availability and redundancy, ensuring reliable performance and continuous data access.

Overall, the HPE 1.2TB SAS 10K SFF SC DS Hard Disk combines high capacity, speed, and reliability, making it a valuable addition to HPE ProLiant servers and an excellent choice for high-performance storage needs.
