HPE 832514-B21 1TB SAS 2.5 Internal Hard Drive

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 832514-B21 is an enterprise-grade, hot-swappable hard drive engineered for reliability and performance in demanding 24x7 data center environments. It provides 1TB of storage capacity in a compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), making it an ideal solution for optimizing storage density in modern rack servers and storage arrays. This drive is specifically designed to address the needs of business-critical workloads that require a balance of capacity, performance, and affordability, such as data archiving, backup, and mid-tier applications. At its core, this drive utilizes a 12Gb/s SAS interface, delivering a high-speed and reliable data path between the storage device and the server infrastructure. This level of throughput is critical for environments where quick access to large datasets is necessary to maintain application performance and avoid I/O bottlenecks. The 7200 RPM spindle speed further ensures consistent read/write performance for midline applications, offering a significant advantage over lower-speed archival drives while remaining cost-effective compared to high-RPM enterprise performance drives. Designed for seamless integration with HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers, the drive comes bundled with an HPE SmartDrive Carrier (SC). This carrier provides predictive failure alerts and status display, simplifying management and reducing administrative overhead. The drive's firmware is digitally signed, a crucial security feature that prevents unauthorized access and ensures the integrity of your data by verifying that the drive firmware is from a trusted source and has not been tampered with.
