Description
More Information
The 655708-B21 is a hard disk drive (HDD) produced by HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise). It has a storage capacity of 500 gigabytes and uses the SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) interface for data transfer. SATA is a standard for connecting storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives to a computer’s motherboard. The drive supports a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps and has a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM. The form factor of the drive is “SFF SC Midline” which stands for “Small Form Factor Self-Contained Midline”. This indicates that the drive is a 2.5 inches physical size drive that is designed to fit in standard drive bays in servers and storage arrays. This drive is suitable for use in entry-level servers and storage systems that require a balance of performance and capacity, and it is designed for use in non-mission critical applications.
Performance and Reliability
The 655708-B21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive has a storage capacity of 500 GB and a rotation speed of 7200 RPM, which provides a balance of storage capacity and performance. The drive supports a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps which is the maximum data transfer rate that SATA interface supports. The drive with its 7.2K RPM speed is designed for non-mission critical applications, where the performance needs are moderate and the capacity is more important. The drive’s small form factor and self-contained design make it easy to install in servers and storage arrays, and its midline classification indicates that it is a cost-effective option for entry-level storage systems.
General Compatibility
The 655708-B21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive is designed to be compatible with servers and storage arrays that support the SATA interface and have a 2.5-inch drive bay. As it uses the standard SATA interface, it is backward compatible with SATA 3Gbps, but in this case, the drive would only run at 3Gbps. It is important to check the compatibility of the drive with the server or storage array’s hardware and firmware before installing it, as well as checking the maximum capacity limit of the server or storage array. Some servers and storage arrays have a maximum capacity limit for each drive bay and it is important to check that the drive will fit within that limit. It is also important to check the operating system compatibility, most of the servers and storage arrays will work with most of the operating systems but it is better to check with the vendor or the product documentation.
