1TB 2.5" SAS Hard Drive

The HPE C8S62A is a 1TB midline hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that need reliable capacity in a small form factor. Its 7200 RPM spindle and dual-port SAS 6Gb/s interface suit mixed workloads where consistent throughput matters more than peak speed.

Capacity and workload fit

One terabyte provides room for operating systems, databases and archival data on a single spindle. The 7200 RPM rotation handles sequential reads and moderate random I/O well, while the 6Gb/s SAS link keeps the bus from becoming a bottleneck under typical enterprise loads.

Carrier and connectivity

A hot-swap 2.5" SFF carrier lets technicians replace the drive without powering down the chassis. Dual SAS ports give path redundancy to the controller or expander, so a single cable or port failure does not take the volume offline.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5-inch SAS 6Gb/s drive work in a server that currently uses 3.5-inch SAS drives?

The drive uses a 2.5-inch small form factor and SAS 6Gb/s interface. It fits 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; a 3.5-inch bay requires a carrier adapter, which is not included.

How can I confirm the 7200 RPM midline drive is operating correctly after installation?

The drive reports its model C8S62A, 1TB capacity and SAS 6Gb/s link speed in the server BIOS or RAID controller utility. SMART data will show 7200 RPM spindle speed and dual-port status.

Does the C8S62A ship with a hot-swap carrier or tray, or must I buy one separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5-inch mechanism without a carrier. A compatible HPE hot-swap carrier or tray for your specific server model must be purchased separately.
