HP 4TB 3.5" SATA HDD Subsystem

The HP 693687-B21 is a 4TB 3.5 inch SATA hard disk drive subsystem designed for server and workstation storage expansion. It operates at 7200 RPM with a SATA III interface and is supplied in new condition. This unit provides high-capacity bulk storage for compatible HP platforms.

Suits admins adding 3.5" SATA capacity

This subsystem fits administrators who need a single 4TB 7200 RPM SATA drive in a 3.5 inch form factor for HP server or workstation bays. It is not suitable for systems that require 2.5 inch drives, faster rotational speeds, or interfaces other than SATA. Buyers needing multiple drives or different form factors should consider other configurations.

Single specification: 4TB 7200 RPM SATA III 3.5

The decisive specification is the combination of 4TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed, SATA III interface, and 3.5 inch form factor. Verify that the target server or enclosure accepts 3.5 inch SATA drives and that the storage controller supports this capacity. Compatibility with the specific HP platform determines whether this is the correct part.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" form factor fit a standard LFF drive bay?

Yes, the 3.5" form factor is designed for a standard LFF drive bay in compatible HP servers.

How is the SATA III drive installed in the enclosure?

Slide the drive into the LFF bay until the SATA connector seats firmly; the step often missed is not pushing it fully home.

When should the 4TB 7200RPM drive be replaced?

Replace the drive if SMART errors appear, unusual noise develops, or after the rated workload limit for the 7.2K RPM mechanism is reached.
