HPE 872479-B21 1.2TB SAS 2.5 Internal Hard Drive

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 872479-B21 is an enterprise-grade hard drive engineered for high-performance and reliability in mission-critical server environments. Designed specifically for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers, this drive provides 1.2TB of storage capacity in a compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), making it ideal for storage-dense data center configurations. It solves the need for dependable, fast storage for transaction processing, database applications, and I/O-intensive workloads where data integrity and availability are paramount. This hard drive leverages a 12G Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to deliver a high-speed external data transfer rate of 12 Gb/s. Combined with a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, the drive ensures rapid data access and helps improve server response times, allowing systems to power more transactions per second. A key security feature is the integration of HPE Digitally Signed Firmware, which prevents unauthorized access and malicious attacks by ensuring that the drive firmware comes from a trusted source. Engineered for seamless integration, the drive is housed in an HPE Smart Carrier (SC) that simplifies maintenance with its hot-swap capability, minimizing downtime during replacement or upgrades. This component is built for demanding 24/7 enterprise workloads and is placed within server drive bays, often configured in RAID arrays to provide data redundancy and enhanced performance. Management is handled through HPE server utilities, which monitor drive status and predict failures, ensuring stable and consistent operation.
