HPE 846524-B21 1 TB SAS 12Gb/s 3.5" 7200 rpm internal hard drive

1 TB SAS 12Gb/s 3.5" 7200 rpm drive

The HPE 846524-B21 is a new 1 TB internal hard drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface and 7200 rpm spindle speed. It uses a 3.5 inch form factor and supports hot-plug installation. This drive targets enterprise servers and storage arrays that require SAS connectivity and continuous operation.

Hot-plug capability and SAS interface

Hot-plug support allows the drive to be inserted or removed while the system is running, reducing downtime during maintenance or expansion. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides dual-port redundancy and consistent performance for multi-drive environments. No additional software or accessories are bundled with the bare drive.

1 TB capacity for bulk storage workloads

The 1 TB capacity suits bulk data, backups and archival workloads where sequential throughput matters more than low latency. At 7200 rpm the drive delivers steady transfer rates for streaming reads and writes but cannot match the random IOPS of solid-state media. Workloads needing higher IOPS or lower latency will exhaust the mechanical limits of this drive.
