Silver 3.5 inch SATA hard drive with exposed circuit board

HPE

HPE 658079-B21 2 TB 7200 rpm 3.5" SATA internal hard drive

SKU CH-Q0MQ-VM92R

A 2 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 rpm with a SATA 600 interface

  • 2 TB capacity for mass storage
  • 7200 rpm spindle speed for responsive data access
  • SATA 600 interface for broad server compatibility
  • 5 inch LFF form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Midline class designed for economical reliability

2 TB SATA Midline Drive

This 2 TB 3.5-inch SATA drive operates at 7200 rpm with a 600 MB/s interface. It is built for HPE server and storage platforms that require economical bulk capacity. The Midline classification targets non-mission-critical workloads where cost per gigabyte matters most. New condition ensures full manufacturer specification.

Suits Cold-Data Storage Arrays

This drive fits administrators expanding RAID sets or backup targets that tolerate higher latency. It is not suited for transactional databases or virtualisation hosts that demand low-latency random I/O. Buyers needing faster access times should consider drives with higher spindle speeds or solid-state media. The single-port SATA interface limits redundancy options.

SATA 600 Interface Standard

The drive uses the SATA/600 interface, delivering up to 600 MB/s theoretical bandwidth. This single specification determines controller and backplane compatibility across HPE Gen8 and newer platforms. Verify that your chassis supports 3.5-inch LFF bays and SATA 6 Gb/s signalling before purchase. No other interface is present on this model.

Questions about this item

How long does the 7200 rpm spindle speed maintain throughput before heat becomes the limiting factor?

The 7200 rpm motor delivers sustained performance for typical midline workloads; thermal limits depend on your chassis airflow and mounting density.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the 3.5" SATA drive running continuously?

The 3.5-inch midline drive produces typical mechanical noise and heat for a 7200 rpm SATA unit; exact acoustics and temperature vary with enclosure ventilation.

Which SATA host interface and 3.5-inch bay does the 658079-B21 require to operate?

The drive needs a SATA 6 Gbit/s (SATA/600) port and a standard 3.5-inch internal bay with SATA power and data cables.
