Specifications of the HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive
The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive is a high-capacity enterprise-grade hard drive designed for use in data center and server environments. Here are the specifications of this hard drive:
- Capacity: The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive has a total storage capacity of 3 terabytes (TB). This means it can store large amounts of data, making it ideal for use in data-intensive applications.
- Speed: The hard drive has a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). This fast speed allows for quick data access and transfer, making it suitable for applications that require high-performance storage.
- Interface: The hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which allows for high-speed data transfer rates of up to 6 gigabits per second (Gbps).
- Form Factor: The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for enterprise-grade hard drives. This allows for easy installation in standard drive bays and racks.
- Buffer Size: The hard drive has a 64-megabyte (MB) cache buffer, which helps to improve performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data.
- Reliability: The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1.2 million hours, indicating a high level of reliability and durability. Additionally, it has built-in error correction technology that helps to prevent data loss.
- Power Consumption: The hard drive consumes up to 11.3 watts of power during operation, making it energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Interface and Compatibility
The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed interface that provides fast and reliable data transfer rates. The SAS interface is widely used in enterprise environments, particularly in server and storage systems, due to its performance, reliability, and scalability.
The SAS interface is compatible with a wide range of server and storage systems, including those from HPE and other manufacturers. The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive is specifically designed to be compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers, as well as HPE StorageWorks MSA and HPE StoreEasy systems. It may also be compatible with other systems that support SAS hard drives.
In addition to SAS compatibility, the HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive is also backward compatible with SAS 3Gb/s and SAS 1.5Gb/s interfaces, allowing it to work with older systems that do not support the SAS 6Gb/s interface.
It's important to note that before installing the HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive, it's important to check the compatibility with the specific server or storage system in use. Some systems may require firmware updates or other configuration changes to work properly with the hard drive. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the system has adequate power and cooling to support the new hard drive, as well as proper cabling and drive bays to accommodate the 3.5-inch form factor.
Performance and Reliability
The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive is designed to deliver high-performance and reliability for enterprise-level applications that require large amounts of storage capacity. Here's a closer look at its performance and reliability features:
Performance:
- The hard drive has a fast rotational speed of 7,200 RPM, which allows for quick access to data and faster read/write speeds. This makes it ideal for applications that require high-performance storage, such as database management, virtualization, and data analytics.
- The hard drive also has a 6Gbps SAS interface, which provides fast and reliable data transfer rates. This interface allows for fast data transfer between the hard drive and the server or storage system, reducing latency and improving overall system performance.
- Additionally, the hard drive has a large 64MB cache buffer, which helps to improve performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data. This reduces the number of times the hard drive needs to access the disk platters, resulting in faster read/write speeds and improved overall performance.
Reliability:
- The HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive is designed for use in mission-critical applications and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1.2 million hours, which is an indication of its high reliability and durability.
- The hard drive also features error-correcting code (ECC) technology, which helps to detect and correct errors in data that may occur during the read/write process. This reduces the risk of data loss or corruption and improves overall system reliability.
- Additionally, the hard drive has a rotational vibration tolerance of up to 12.5 rad/sec², which helps to reduce the risk of disk platter damage and data loss in multi-drive systems. This feature makes the hard drive suitable for use in RAID arrays and other multi-drive storage systems.
- Finally, the HPE 3TB Midline Hard Drive undergoes extensive testing and quality control processes to ensure that it meets HPE's strict standards for performance and reliability. This includes testing for temperature, humidity, and shock/vibration tolerance, as well as other environmental factors that may affect hard drive performance and reliability.

About New Bulk Pack Products
HPE MSA Storage
Most small data centers desire entry priced array storage solutions. To achieve high storage and performance efficiency, choosing the right HPE MSA storage Hard Drive is critical.
HPE MSA 2050 SAN Storage has no doubt continued to be the industry's leading entry storage.
Another entry-priced array solution is HPE MSA 1040 Storage. They come with a Data-in-Place upgrade which eliminates data migration errors.
We shall guide you in selecting the right storage Hard Drive for your business or data center.
Factors To Consider When Choosing HPE MSA Storage Hard Drive
The selection of Hard Drives for your MSA storage is determined by your server's workload, Hard Drive Speed, and storage.
1. Workload Requirement
If your server tasks involve a lot of sequential tasks, you can go for either Enterprise SAS Hard drives or SAS MDL HDD.
For standard random workloads that call for more disk-reading time, SAS Enterprise Hard drives will serve you better.
However, where high-level performance is required, Solid-State Disks (SSDs) should be your ultimate choice.
2. MSA Storage Hard Drive Speed
Apart from Disk Type, the performance of your HPE MSA Storage Hard Drives is determined by the speed which refers to the disk's rotation per minute (RPM).
Therefore, the higher your HDD speed, the faster files can be accessed by users. This is critical especially for shared storage.
For high-performance requirements with superior data access, MSA Storage Hard Drives with hot-swap such as 900GB-10K RPM or 600GB-15K RPM are recommended.
For standard storage requirements where extreme performance is not a major concern, HPE MSA storage Hard Disks with 7.2K RPM will be perfect.
Some of the MSA storage HDD that will effectively fulfill your basic standard storage requirements include:
1) 1TB-7.2K RPM
2) 2TB-7.2K RPM
3) 3TB-7.2K RPM
4) 4TB-7.2K RPM
3. Storage Requirements
This is determined by your current, or future storage requirements, as well as your budget.
Drive capacity is also significant based on your planned RAIDS configurations. You can choose single MSA storage Hard drives with various capacities that suit your needs.
If, however, you require more storage, consider investing in suitable HDD bundles. They come in different brands and capacities for your perfect selection.
4. Connection Interface | Technology
If you're using a modern or previous generation of MSA storage array, your selected Hard Disk must be compatible.
For instance, for HPE MSA 2050 Array will work with SAS Enterprise Hard Drives or Solid-State Drives (SDDs).
Modern HPE SMA Storage Enclosures come with an advanced SAS interface for guaranteed high performance and configuration flexibility.
Therefore, HPE MSA storage Hard Disks Drives with SAS interfaces are the most recommended.
Fortunately, current controllers support SATA and SAS interfaces.
It's, however, important to note that HPE MSA 2040 Array enclosure does not support LFF SATA Hard Disk Drives.
