Description
Details Information
The GB0500EAFYL HP 500GB SATA-300 7.2K Form Factor Hot Swap Hard Drive is a 3.5-inch hard drive with a capacity of 500GB, rotation speed of 7200 RPM and a data transfer rate of 300MB/s (SATA-III). It features a hot-swap form factor, which allows for easy removal and replacement of the drive while the system is running. It is designed for use in HP ProLiant servers and storage systems that support 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. This hard drive can be used for a variety of applications including data storage, backups and archiving. The 7200 RPM spindle speed provides faster data access than slower 5400 RPM or 4200 RPM hard drives, but the data transfer rate of 300MB/s is an older standard and may not provide the same performance as newer SATA-III (6.0 Gbps) or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives. It is recommended to check the server or storage system’s technical specifications or user manual to confirm compatibility before purchasing the hard drive.
Performance and Reliability
The GB0500EAFYL HP 500GB SATA-300 7.2K Form Factor Hot Swap Hard Drive is a high-capacity hard drive designed for use in HP ProLiant servers and storage systems. With a rotation speed of 7200 RPM, the drive can access data faster than hard drives with lower RPMs. The hot-swap form factor allows for easy removal and replacement of the drive while the system is running, which can be useful for maintenance and upgrades.
However, the performance of the drive will also depend on the system it is being used with. The SATA-300 (3.0 Gbps) interface is an older standard with a maximum data transfer rate of 300MB/s which may not provide the same performance as newer SATA-III (6.0 Gbps) or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives.
It is recommended to check the server or storage system’s technical specifications or user manual to confirm compatibility before purchasing the hard drive and also to keep in mind that the performance of the drive will depend on the workload and the system it is being used with.
General Compatibility
The GB0500EAFYL HP 500GB SATA-300 7.2K Form Factor Hot Swap Hard Drive is designed for use with HP ProLiant servers and storage systems that have the capability to support 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and have a compatible drive bay. It is also important to note that the drive requires a SATA interface that supports 300MB/s data transfer rate to function properly. It is recommended to check the server or storage system’s technical specifications or user manual to confirm compatibility before purchasing the hard drive.
It’s important to note that this drive uses SATA-300 (3.0 Gbps) interface, which is an older standard and may not be compatible with systems that only support SATA-III (6.0 Gbps) or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interfaces. Additionally, this drive is hot-swappable, which means it can be easily removed and replaced without shutting down the system, but it’s important to check if the system supports hot-swap capability.
Before purchasing the hard drive, it is important to check the server or storage system’s technical specifications or user manual to confirm compatibility, as well as the operating system, firmware and driver that are supported. Additionally, it’s also important to check if the drive is still supported by the manufacturer and if there are any firmware updates available.
