SFF stands for Small Form Factor and refers to the size and shape of a hardware component, such as an internal hard drive. In the case of the HPE B9F34B Internal Hard Drive, SFF means that it is designed to fit into smaller spaces within a computer system. The dimensions of the HPE B9F34B are 2.5 inches in width and 0.6 inches in height, making it significantly smaller than a standard 3.5-inch internal hard drive.
The SFF form factor has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the rise of smaller and more compact computer systems such as laptops, all-in-one desktops, and blade servers. This form factor allows for more efficient use of space within these systems while still providing high storage capacity and performance.
In addition to being smaller in size, SFF components are often designed to be more energy-efficient, generate less heat, and produce less noise compared to larger form factors. This makes them ideal for use in environments where space, power consumption, and noise levels are important considerations.
Benefits of SAS 12Gbps InterfaceThe SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 12Gbps interface provides several benefits for the HPE B9F34B Internal Hard Drive, including:
- Faster data transfer rates: The 12Gbps interface provides a significantly higher data transfer rate compared to older SAS interfaces, allowing for faster data access and retrieval.
- Increased bandwidth: The increased bandwidth of the 12Gbps interface allows for more data to be transferred at once, enabling faster data backups, restores, and other data-intensive operations.
- Better scalability: The SAS 12Gbps interface supports more drives per controller compared to older SAS interfaces, allowing for better scalability and expansion of storage systems.
- Improved reliability: SAS technology provides superior error detection and correction capabilities, resulting in improved data integrity and reliability.
- Increased performance: The SAS 12Gbps interface enables the HPE B9F34B Internal Hard Drive to deliver higher performance, reducing latency and improving overall system responsiveness.
- Compatibility: The SAS interface is widely used in enterprise storage systems, making the HPE B9F34B Internal Hard Drive compatible with a wide range of systems and storage solutions.
The 10K RPM (Revolutions per Minute) speed of the HPE B9F34B Internal Hard Drive refers to the number of rotations the drive platters make per minute. This speed is faster than the standard 7,200 RPM speed of most internal hard drives and provides several benefits, including:
- Faster data access: The faster rotation speed of the drive platters means that data can be accessed more quickly, resulting in faster read and write speeds.
- Improved performance: The faster access times and read/write speeds of the drive result in improved performance for data-intensive applications and workloads.
- Better reliability: The 10K RPM speed allows the drive to be more resistant to vibration and shock, resulting in better reliability and longevity.
- Higher throughput: The increased RPM speed allows for a higher throughput of data, enabling faster transfer of large files and datasets.
- Suitable for high-performance computing: The 10K RPM speed makes the HPE B9F34B Internal Hard Drive suitable for high-performance computing (HPC) applications that require fast access to large amounts of data.
However, the higher RPM speed also comes with some downsides, such as increased power consumption and heat generation, which can impact the overall system performance and efficiency.

About Refurbished Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
