Capacity and interface

This HPE 16 TB hard drive uses a 3.5 inch form factor and a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and is built for server and storage system installations. The drive suits administrators who need large single-volume capacity on a standard SATA backplane.

Build integration

The drive fits a 3.5 inch drive bay and connects with a standard SATA data and power cable. No special controller or caddy beyond what the host chassis provides is required. It frees additional bays by consolidating data that would otherwise need multiple smaller drives.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 7200 RPM spindle and SATA 6.0Gb/s link deliver steady throughput for continuous read and write streams. Digitally signed firmware helps maintain data integrity during long operations. The drive is qualified for HPE server and storage environments where sustained I/O is expected.
