The HPE 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS DS SC Midline Hard Drive, also known as 846514-K21, is a high-capacity storage solution for enterprise-level servers and storage systems. With a large 6TB storage capacity, it is well-suited for storing large amounts of data, such as video, images, and backups.
This hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and has a transfer rate of 12 Gbps. The SAS interface offers faster data transfer speeds and improved reliability compared to SATA. Additionally, the drive has a rotational speed of 7.2K RPM, which provides faster data access and better performance than 5400 RPM drives.
The HPE 6TB SAS Hard Drive is also designed with a midline performance level, meaning it provides a balance of cost-effectiveness and performance. It is a cost-effective solution for customers who want a large storage capacity and reliable performance, but do not require the highest-performing and most expensive enterprise-class drives.
HPE 846514-K21 is also designed with a dual-port SAS interface, providing high availability and redundancy in case one port fails. The drive also has a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option, providing an additional layer of security for your data.
