The HPE 3TB 7.2K RPM 3.5 Inch SATA-6GBPS LFF 512E SC Midline Hot Swap Digitally Signed Hard Drive, also known as part number 846522-003, is a type of computer hard drive manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). In this article, we will explain in detail what each component of this product name means and how it can affect your computing experience.
Capacity and SpeedThe first part of the name, "HPE 3TB," refers to the storage capacity of the hard drive. 3TB, or 3 terabytes, means that this hard drive can store up to 3 trillion bytes of data. This is a significant amount of storage space, suitable for large data-intensive applications such as video editing or data analysis.
The next part of the name, "7.2K RPM," refers to the rotational speed of the hard drive. RPM stands for revolutions per minute, which indicates how quickly the hard drive's platters spin. A higher RPM means faster read/write speeds, which translates to faster data access times. In this case, 7.2K RPM means that the platters inside the hard drive spin at 7,200 rotations per minute. This is a common rotational speed for mid-range hard drives and is suitable for most applications.
Interface and Form FactorThe next part of the name, "3.5 Inch SATA-6GBPS," describes the interface and form factor of the hard drive. SATA, or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, is a type of interface used to connect storage devices to a computer's motherboard. SATA is the most common type of interface for hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs). The "6GBPS" in the name indicates the maximum theoretical data transfer rate of the interface, which is 6 gigabits per second.
The "3.5 Inch" part of the name refers to the form factor of the hard drive, which is the physical size and shape of the device. 3.5 inches is the standard size for desktop hard drives, while 2.5 inches is the standard size for laptop hard drives. The larger size of the 3.5-inch form factor allows for more storage space and better cooling.
512e and Digitally SignedThe last two parts of the name, "LFF 512E SC Midline Hot Swap Digitally Signed," describe additional features of the hard drive. "LFF" stands for Large Form Factor, which indicates that the hard drive is designed to fit in a larger desktop or server chassis. "512E" refers to the sector size of the hard drive. Most hard drives use a sector size of 512 bytes, but some newer hard drives use a sector size of 4,096 bytes, also known as 4K sectors. 512e is a hybrid of the two, using 512-byte logical sectors but presenting them to the operating system as 4K sectors. This can improve performance and compatibility with newer operating systems.
"SC" stands for Smart Carrier, which is a feature that allows the hard drive to communicate with the server or storage system it is installed in. This can provide additional information about the hard drive's health and status, as well as allow for remote management and monitoring.
"Midline" refers to the performance level of the hard drive. Midline hard drives are designed for applications that require higher capacity and reliability than consumer-grade hard drives but do not require the highest performance levels of enterprise-grade hard drives.
Finally, "Hot Swap" refers to the ability to replace the hard drive while the system is still running. This can be useful in server environments where downtime must be minimized.
