Key Features & Benefits

• High Performance: Operates at a fast 10,000 RPM spindle speed, delivering rapid data access times and low latency for I/O-intensive applications such as database processing, virtualization, and transaction handling.
• Rapid Data Transfer Interface: Utilizes a high-speed SAS 12 Gbps interface, facilitating data transfer rates of up to 1.2 GBps between the drive and the host system, minimizing performance bottlenecks.
• Digitally Signed Firmware (DS): Features HPE's Digitally Signed (DS) firmware, a security measure that protects against malicious attacks and provides assurance that the drive's firmware comes from a trusted source, enhancing overall system security.
• Hot-Swappable Design with Smart Carrier: Designed with a hot-plug capability within an HPE Smart Carrier (SC), allowing for easy installation and replacement without system downtime. The carrier includes self-describing icons to indicate drive status and a "do not remove" button to prevent data loss from human error.
• Enterprise Reliability: Built for 24x7 mission-critical operations with robust construction and dual ports for enhanced availability. These drives undergo over 3.35 million hours of rigorous testing to ensure reliability in demanding environments.
• Advanced Format 512e: Uses the Advanced Format 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, which optimizes storage efficiency and compatibility with modern enterprise systems.
