HP StorageWorks P2000 1TB SAS 6Gb/s Drive

This HP StorageWorks P2000 drive provides 1TB of storage on a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The 3.5-inch form factor spins at 7200 RPM for server workloads. It arrives as a bare drive without a mounting tray.

Server storage upgrades needing dual-port SAS

The dual-port SAS connection suits RAID arrays and shared-storage appliances that require path redundancy. Systems limited to single-port controllers or 3Gb/s backplanes will not use the full bandwidth. Builds requiring 2.5-inch bays cannot install this 3.5-inch unit.

SAS 6Gb/s dual-port interface decides fit

The controller and backplane must support SAS 6Gb/s dual-port operation to match the drive specification. A 3Gb/s or single-port host will limit throughput and remove failover capability. Verify the enclosure accepts 3.5-inch LFF drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the HP AP861A bare drive ship with a mounting tray or cables, or must they be sourced separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit only; any 3.5" SAS tray, mounting screws or data cables required for your HP StorageWorks P2000 enclosure or server must be purchased separately.

How do I decide between the 1TB 7.2K SAS model and other capacities in the P2000 range?

Choose the 1TB AP861A when you need a balance of capacity and 7200 RPM performance for near-line workloads; higher-capacity models in the same series increase raw space while lower-capacity models reduce cost per drive.

What does the 6Gb/s SAS rating mean for actual throughput inside an HP server?

The 6Gb/s SAS interface sets the link speed ceiling; real-world sustained transfer rates are governed by the 7200 RPM mechanical mechanism and the server's controller, so peak sequential throughput will be lower than the interface maximum.
