HPE 900 GB SAS 12Gb/s Internal Drive

This HPE hard drive provides 900 GB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor. It operates at 10000 rpm with a SAS 12Gb/s interface for internal server use. The drive is designed for compatible storage systems.

Suits HPE StoreVirtual 3000 storage arrays

This drive fits builders upgrading or repairing an HPE StoreVirtual 3000 Storage System. Buyers who need a different capacity or a non-SAS interface should look at other options. It is not for desktop PCs lacking a SAS controller.

12Gb/s SAS interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your system backplane and controller must support this exact standard. A mismatched interface will prevent the drive from functioning.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5" form factor fit a standard 3.5" drive bay without an adapter?

The drive is 2.5" wide and mounts in a 2.5" bay or carrier. A 3.5" bay requires a separate adapter bracket.

How is the SAS 12Gb/s interface connected during installation, and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive into the hot-plug carrier, seat the SAS connector firmly on the backplane, and secure the latch. The step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the drive registers on the bus.

When should the 10000 rpm mechanism be replaced in an HP StoreVirtual 3000 Storage System?

Replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors, excessive seek errors, or if the array controller flags a predictive failure alert.
