HP 1.2 TB 10 000 RPM SAS 6 Gb/s drive

This HP 718162-S21 is a 1.2 TB enterprise hard drive spinning at 10 000 RPM with a SAS 6 Gb/s interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand high transaction throughput and data integrity. The bare drive ships without a carrier and is sold in new condition.

Suits SAS bays needing 10 K speed

This drive fits systems that accept 2.5 inch SAS drives and can use the 6 Gb/s transfer rate for database, virtualization or other I/O intensive workloads. Buyers who require a larger capacity or a different form factor should consider other options. The Smart Carrier tray type noted by the manufacturer may affect hot plug compatibility in some chassis.

768 MBps maximum external transfer rate

The headline specification is the 768 MBps maximum external data transfer rate enabled by the SAS 6 Gb/s interface. This figure determines whether the drive can sustain the throughput your application requires. Verify that your controller and backplane support this speed before purchase.
