HPE 872772-001 4TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF Hard Drive

The HPE 872772-001 is a high-capacity 4TB SATA Midline Hard Drive designed for reliability and bulk data storage in HPE ProLiant server environments. Engineered for 24x7 operational demands, this drive is a cost-effective solution for small-to-medium businesses and enterprise data centers that need dependable storage for non-mission-critical applications, such as disk-based backup, archiving, and reference data. It provides a significant capacity point for storing large datasets without a major sacrifice in performance or reliability. This drive operates at 7200 RPM with a SATA 6Gb/s interface, offering a solid performance baseline for sequential and random workloads typical in bulk storage scenarios. A key feature is its Digitally Signed Firmware, which prevents unauthorized access and malicious attacks by ensuring that the drive's firmware is authentic and untampered with. This provides an essential layer of security for an organization's stored data. Housed in a 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) and bundled with an HPE Smart Carrier (SC), the 872772-001 is designed for hot-swap capability, simplifying maintenance and upgrades within supported ProLiant servers. The Smart Carrier provides at-a-glance drive status via LED icons, reducing the risk of human error during maintenance by clearly indicating drive activity and health, which streamlines data center operations and enhances system uptime.
