HPE 655710-B21 1TB 6G 7.2K SATA SFF Hard Drive

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 655710-B21 is a midline hard drive engineered for solid reliability and capacity in enterprise server environments. Specifically designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers, this drive provides a cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data where immediate, high-speed access is not the primary requirement. It addresses the need for dependable bulk storage for non-mission-critical applications, delivering a balance of performance, capacity, and price. This hard drive features a 1 TB capacity and a 6 Gb/s SATA interface, operating at a rotational speed of 7200 RPM. This combination ensures efficient data transfer rates suitable for applications like archival, backup, and reference data storage. The drive's architecture is optimized for lower workload environments, offering approximately twice the reliability of entry-level drives, making it a sound choice for small and medium-sized business servers. Housed in a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) and bundled with a Smart Carrier (SC), the 655710-B21 is built for hot-plug functionality, simplifying installation and maintenance without server downtime. Management is streamlined through HPE's integrated server tools, which utilize the drive's digitally signed firmware to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity. This makes it an ideal component for building out storage within compatible ProLiant rack and tower servers.
