4 TB SAS drive for server storage

This HPE 695842-001 drive delivers 4 TB of capacity through a 6Gb/s SAS interface. The 7200 RPM spindle speed supports steady throughput for bulk data workloads. It fits 3.5 inch internal bays and includes a SmartDrive carrier for tool-less installation. Designed as an HP Qualified Option for StoreVirtual 4530 environments.

Capacity and headroom for archival workloads

Four terabytes accommodate large backup sets, media archives and database files. The SAS link provides consistent bandwidth for sequential reads and writes. Random I/O performance tapers off under heavy multi-threaded queues typical of virtualisation hosts. Workloads demanding sub-millisecond latency will exceed the mechanical limits of this drive.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

The 7200 RPM mechanism generates moderate vibration and audible seek noise in quiet racks. Power draw rises during spin-up and sustained writes, then settles at typical idle levels for 3.5 inch SAS drives. Standard server airflow keeps temperatures within the rated operating range without special cooling. Acoustic output is noticeable in desktop chassis but masked by fan noise in data-centre cabinets.

Questions about this item

Will the 6Gb/s SAS interface on this 695842-001 drive work with my existing 3Gb/s SAS backplane?

The drive uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface which is backward compatible with 3Gb/s SAS controllers and backplanes, so it will operate at the slower 3Gb/s speed when connected to older hardware.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed is running correctly after installing the 4 TB drive?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in your server's BIOS, HPE Smart Storage Administrator, or operating system disk utilities; they should show 7200 RPM for this model.

Does the 695842-001 come with the SmartDrive carrier shown in the product name, or must I order the 3.5" tray separately?

The product name specifies "Hard Drive with SmartDrive Carrier", meaning the 3.5" carrier is included in the box; no separate tray purchase is required for installation.
