Detailed Specifications
HPE P40428-B21 900GB SAS 15K SFF Hard Disk Drive
Overview
The HPE P40432-B21 is a high-performance, enterprise-grade hard drive designed for mission-critical workloads in demanding data center environments. Specifically categorized as a hot-swappable hard disk drive, it addresses the need for reliable, high-speed data access in HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. This drive is engineered to solve performance bottlenecks in applications requiring rapid transaction processing and high input/output operations per second (IOPS). At its core, the drive utilizes a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface with a 12Gb/s transfer rate, ensuring a high-speed data path between the storage device and the server chassis. The rotational speed of 15,000 RPM is a key specification that directly contributes to lower latency and faster data retrieval times compared to lower-RPM or SATA-based drives. This technical advantage translates to improved server response times and the ability to handle more transactions per second. With its 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), the P40432-B21 is optimized for the dense server environments commonly found in modern data centers. It is bundled with an HPE Basic Carrier (BC), which facilitates seamless, hot-swap installation into compatible server bays, minimizing downtime during upgrades or replacements. Management is integrated within the broader HPE server management ecosystem, allowing for straightforward monitoring and maintenance.
