HPE 861754-B21 Midline Internal Hard Drive

Detailed Specifications

This document provides a technical overview of the HPE 861754-B21, an enterprise-grade Midline hard drive engineered for reliability and capacity in demanding data center environments. Designed specifically for HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers, this drive offers a cost-effective solution for storing large volumes of data, making it an ideal choice for bulk storage, backup, and archiving applications where data integrity and availability are paramount. The core of the 861754-B21 is its combination of a 6TB storage capacity, a 7200 RPM rotational speed, and a high-speed 12Gb/s SAS interface. This configuration provides a balance of performance and density, ensuring that servers can efficiently manage and deliver large datasets. The drive features Digitally Signed Firmware, a critical security measure that prevents unauthorized firmware modifications and ensures the integrity of your data from the hardware level up. Intended for internal, hot-swap deployment within server chassis, this 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) drive integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure using the included HPE SmartDrive Carrier (SC). This carrier provides status LEDs that clearly indicate drive activity and health, simplifying maintenance and reducing the risk of accidental removal during operation. Management is handled through standard HPE server tools, ensuring consistent and predictable behavior.
