HPE 1.8TB SAS 10K SFF SC 512e DS G10 Hard Drive 

The HPE 1.8TB SAS 10K SFF SC 512e DS G10 Hard Drive is a high-capacity, high-performance storage solution engineered for HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers. With an impressive 1.8TB of storage capacity and a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, this 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drive is designed to handle demanding workloads and provide rapid data access.

Featuring a SAS 12Gb/s interface, the drive offers fast data transfer rates, making it suitable for high-speed data applications, including virtualization, databases, and intensive file operations. The 10,000 RPM speed ensures quick access to data, with an average latency of 2.9 ms, reducing wait times and enhancing overall system performance.

The hard drive is equipped with a substantial 256MB cache, which helps optimize performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, thus accelerating data retrieval and reducing latency. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where speed and efficiency are critical.

Designed for compatibility with HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers, this hard drive supports hot-swapping, allowing for the replacement or addition of drives without the need for server downtime. This capability is essential for maintaining continuous operation and minimizing disruptions in mission-critical environments.

The drive uses 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, providing compatibility with systems that use traditional 512-byte sector formats while enabling support for larger storage capacities. Its dual-port SAS (DS) configuration ensures redundancy and improved data availability, enhancing reliability in high-demand scenarios.

With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours and a low error rate, the HPE 1.8TB SAS 10K SFF SC 512e DS G10 Hard Drive is built for 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 efficiently, with 8.1W during active use and 5.9W when idle, balancing high performance with energy efficiency. The drive’s 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 an ideal fit for server environments.

The Smart Carrier (SC) design includes status indicator lights for easy monitoring of the drive's operational status. Overall, the HPE 1.8TB SAS 10K SFF SC 512e DS G10 Hard Drive offers a blend of high capacity, speed, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for high-performance server applications.
