The HPE 1.8TB SAS 10K SFF SC 512e DS Hard Drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers. This 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drive offers 1.8TB of storage capacity, making it well-suited for handling substantial data loads and supporting demanding applications.

Operating at 10,000 RPM, the drive ensures quick access to data with an average latency of 2.9 ms. The SAS 12Gb/s interface facilitates fast data transfer rates up to 12Gb/s, which is essential for high-speed data operations, including virtualization, database management, and enterprise-level applications.

The hard drive is equipped with a 256MB cache that enhances performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, thus reducing latency and improving overall system efficiency. It uses 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, ensuring compatibility with traditional 512-byte sector formats while accommodating larger storage capacities.

Designed for use with HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers, the drive supports hot-swapping, allowing for the replacement or addition of drives without interrupting server operation. This feature is crucial for maintaining continuous system availability and minimizing downtime in critical environments.

The drive is built for reliability, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours and a low error rate, ensuring long-term durability and data integrity. It operates within a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C, suitable for standard data center conditions.

Power consumption is efficiently managed, with 9.0W during active use and 6.0W 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 for easy monitoring of the drive’s operational status. Additionally, the dual-port SAS (DS) configuration enhances data availability and redundancy, ensuring reliable and continuous data access.

Overall, the HPE 1.8TB SAS 10K SFF SC 512e DS Hard Drive offers a combination of high capacity, speed, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for high-performance storage needs in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers.
