The HPE 2.4TB SAS 12G 10K SFF SC 512e Server Hard Drive is a high-capacity storage solution specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers. This 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drive offers a substantial 2.4TB of storage, making it ideal for demanding applications that require significant data capacity and high-speed performance.

Operating at a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, this hard drive delivers fast data access with an average latency of just 2.9 ms. The SAS 12Gb/s interface ensures rapid data transfer rates up to 12Gb/s, which is essential for high-performance tasks such as virtualization, large-scale data processing, and enterprise applications.

Equipped with a 256MB cache, the drive enhances performance by buffering frequently accessed data, reducing latency, and improving overall system efficiency. It uses 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, which provides compatibility with traditional 512-byte sector formats while supporting larger storage capacities.

The drive is fully compatible with HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers and supports hot-swapping, allowing for the replacement or addition of drives without requiring server downtime. This feature is critical for maintaining uninterrupted server operations and minimizing disruptions in mission-critical environments.

Reliability is a key feature of this hard drive, 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, making it suitable for standard data center conditions.

Power consumption is efficiently managed, with 9.5W during active use and 6.5W 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 a practical and space-efficient 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 continuous access to your data.

Overall, the HPE 2.4TB SAS 12G 10K SFF SC 512e Server Hard Drive combines high capacity, speed, and reliability, making it an excellent addition to HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers for high-performance storage needs.
