HP 1.2TB SAS Enterprise Drive

This HP 697631-001 drive delivers 1.2TB of storage on a SAS 6Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. The 2.5 inch form factor fits enterprise laptop bays and storage arrays requiring high-throughput mechanical drives. It is built for workloads that demand consistent read and write performance in qualified HP environments.

Verify SAS Controller and Bay Compatibility

Confirm your system provides a SAS 6Gb/s backplane or controller before ordering. The drive uses a standard SAS connector and requires a 2.5 inch drive bay with appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure firmware and RAID controller support enterprise SAS drives to avoid detection issues.

Enterprise-Grade Mechanical Build

Designed as an HP Qualified Option, the drive uses robust internal components rated for continuous enterprise operation. The SAS interface enables dual-port connectivity for path redundancy in supported enclosures. Mechanical vibration tolerance and error-recovery firmware suit multi-drive chassis where sustained duty cycles are standard.

Questions about this item

Does the HP 697631-001 ship with a mounting tray or caddy, or must I source one separately?
