HPE 2.4 TB 10K SAS drive

The HPE 881457-B21 is a 2.4 TB, 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a 512E sector format for broad system compatibility. The small form factor suits space-constrained servers and storage arrays. Condition is new.

Suits high-capacity 10K SAS bays

This drive fits workloads that demand 2.4 TB of capacity at 10000 RPM over a 12 Gb/s SAS link. It is not for systems that only accept 3.5-inch drives or require a different interface. Buyers needing higher RPM or larger capacity should look elsewhere.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. Your controller or backplane must support this connection for the drive to function. Verify the interface requirement before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 881457-B21 2.4 TB SAS 12Gb/s drive work in a server backplane that only supports 6 Gb/s SAS?

The drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s on an older backplane, so it remains compatible with existing 2.5" bays.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM spindle speed is active after installing the 881457-B21?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS, HPE Smart Storage Administrator, or SMART attribute 0x01 — it should show 10000 RPM.

Does the 881457-B21 ship with a mounting tray or caddy for a 2.5" bay, or must I buy one separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" SFF unit; any hot-plug tray, caddy, or adapter required by your specific chassis must be purchased separately.
