HPE 652564-B21 300GB 6G SAS 2.5 SFF Hard Drive

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 652564-B21 is an enterprise-grade hard drive designed for high-transaction workloads in server environments. As a Small Form Factor (SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drive, it provides a reliable, high-performance storage solution for data centers where operational uptime and data integrity are critical. This drive is specifically engineered to solve the need for rapid data access in space-constrained server chassis, such as the HPE ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 series. At its core, this drive features a 10,000 RPM rotational speed and a 6 Gb/sec SAS interface, a combination that significantly enhances server response times and accelerates I/O operations. The dual-port SAS interface not only provides a high-speed data path but also ensures high availability through redundant pathways, a crucial feature for mission-critical applications where a single point of failure is unacceptable. This architecture makes it an ideal choice for database applications and Big Data analytics. Engineered for 24/7 operation, the 652564-B21 is typically deployed in rack-mounted or blade servers within an enterprise data center. Its 2.5-inch form factor allows for greater storage density, enabling IT managers to maximize capacity within a limited physical footprint. Management is streamlined through HPE's SmartDrive carrier technology, which communicates critical status and management information directly to the server's system health monitoring tools.
