HPE C8R60B 900 GB SAS drive

The HPE C8R60B is a 900 GB internal hard drive built for the HP 3PAR StoreServ M6710 storage array. It uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface and a 2.5 inch form factor. The drive includes FIPS encryption for data security. It is intended for enterprise storage environments that require validated hardware compatibility.

Sustained 10000 rpm operation

The spindle runs at 10000 rpm to deliver consistent throughput under continuous workloads. The SAS interface supports dual-port connectivity for path redundancy during heavy I/O. FIPS encryption processing is handled on the drive without host CPU overhead. This combination suits tier-one applications that demand predictable latency over long periods.

Direct bay insertion for M6710

Installation consists of sliding the drive into a compatible 2.5 inch bay in the 3PAR StoreServ M6710 enclosure. The carrier engages the backplane connectors without cables or tools. A common issue is inserting the drive into a non-qualified chassis where the firmware will not recognise the FIPS module. Another issue is mixing drives with different encryption states in the same virtual volume.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 10000 rpm SAS drive draw during continuous operation?

The 900 GB 10K SFF drive is engineered for efficient operation inside the 3PAR StoreServ M6710 array, where system-level cooling manages heat from sustained workloads.

Does the C8R60B require a specific SAS backplane or controller to function?

It is a 6Gb/s SAS SFF device qualified for the HP 3PAR StoreServ M6710 storage system and uses the standard SAS connector for that platform.

Will this 2.5" 6Gb/s SAS drive work in an older 3Gb/s SAS enclosure?

The drive interfaces at 6Gb/s SAS and is validated for the 3PAR StoreServ M6710; compatibility with earlier 3Gb/s enclosures depends on that enclosure's specifications.
