HPE 846526-B21 1TB 3.5″ SAS Internal Hard Drive

The HPE 846526-B21 is an enterprise-grade Midline hard drive engineered to deliver reliable, high-capacity storage for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. Designed for data center environments that operate 24x7, this drive addresses the need for dependable bulk storage without compromising on performance. It provides a cost-effective solution for applications requiring high capacity, such as data backup, archival, and non-mission-critical workloads where data is accessed less frequently. This 1TB drive features a SAS 12Gb/s interface, which offers a significant performance advantage over traditional SATA drives by providing a faster, more reliable data path. The 7200 RPM rotational speed ensures respectable access times for a nearline drive, balancing capacity with workload performance. A key technical feature is the inclusion of HPE Digitally Signed Firmware, which prevents unauthorized access and malicious attacks by ensuring that the drive firmware comes from a trusted source, enhancing the security posture of the server infrastructure. With a 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF), this hot-pluggable drive is designed for seamless integration and serviceability within compatible HPE server chassis. Its Low Profile Carrier (LPc) allows for tool-less installation and removal, simplifying maintenance and upgrades in a busy data center environment. Management is integrated directly into the HPE server ecosystem, allowing administrators to monitor drive health and performance through standard server management tools, ensuring operational consistency and reliability.
