HPE 2TB 2.5 inch SATA hard drive with smart carrier tray attached

HPE

HPE 765455-B21 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 2.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-D0Z9-SKRQK

A 2 TB, 7 200 RPM SATA hard drive in a 2.5" hot-swap tray for high-capacity server storage

  • Total capacity2 TB
  • Interface typeSAS 12Gb/s
  • Form factor2.5 in (6.35 cm)
  • Rotational speed7,200 RPM
  • 2 TB capacity for high-volume storage needs
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed for responsive data access
  • 5-inch small form factor fits dense server bays
  • Hot-plug smart carrier enables drive swaps without downtime
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface compatible with HPE ProLiant servers

Capacity and workload fit

This 2 TB HPE SATA drive targets non mission-critical server workloads of 40 % or less. It delivers high capacity at a low cost per gigabyte for bulk storage in ProLiant environments. The 7.2 K RPM spindle provides steady throughput for archival and backup tasks. It is not suited for high-transaction databases or latency-sensitive workloads.

Build and hot-plug carrier

The 2.5-inch small form factor unit ships with a Smart Carrier tray attached for tool-less hot-swap insertion. A 12 Gb/s SAS interface backs the SATA 6 Gb/s link, ensuring compatibility with current HPE drive bays. Rigorous qualification and SMART support enable monitoring through HPE Systems Insight Manager. Builders needing 3.5-inch large form factor bays cannot use this drive.

Upgrade path and value

The midline design replaces older midline or entry SATA drives where capacity must grow without raising the cost per gigabyte. The jump is worth it when workloads stay at or below 40 % utilisation and hot-plug serviceability is required. Buyers who need higher endurance or sustained write performance should consider enterprise-class SAS models instead.

Questions about this item

What is the SATA interface speed and what throughput does it cap in practice?

The drive uses a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, which caps practical throughput at the SATA III maximum of 6 Gb/s.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5-inch SFF drive with Smart Carrier tray require?

It fits a 2.5-inch small form factor bay and the attached Smart Carrier tray handles hot-plug mounting in compatible HPE ProLiant servers.

How is the hot-plug drive installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide the carrier into the bay until it locks; the step often missed is ensuring the carrier latch fully engages so the drive registers with the server.
