Description
Product Overview
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” is a type of computer storage device manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). It is designed to provide reliable and high-performance data storage for servers and workstations. In this article, we will explore the features and benefits of this hard drive, including its capacity, speed, and compatibility.
Capacity
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” has a capacity of 500GB, which means it can store up to 500 gigabytes of data. This is a significant amount of storage and is ideal for organizations that need to store large amounts of data, such as databases, applications, and media files. The hard drive’s high capacity can also help reduce the number of physical drives needed to store data, which can save space and reduce maintenance costs.
Speed
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” operates at a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). This high rotational speed allows data to be accessed and written to the disk faster than traditional hard drives, which typically operate at 5,400 RPM. The increased speed of the hard drive makes it ideal for applications that require fast data access, such as databases, virtualization, and content delivery networks.
Compatibility
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” is compatible with a wide range of HPE servers, including the HPE ProLiant, BladeSystem, and Apollo families. It is also compatible with other servers that support SATA hard drives. Before purchasing the hard drive, it is important to ensure that the server is compatible with SATA hard drives and has an available drive bay to install the hard drive.
Form Factor
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” has a small form factor (SFF), which means it is designed to fit into smaller spaces. This makes it ideal for use in servers and workstations that have limited physical space for storage devices. The SFF design also allows for higher storage densities, which means more storage capacity can be achieved in the same amount of physical space.
Data Transfer Rate
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” uses a Serial ATA (SATA) interface with a 6 gigabytes per second (GBPS) data transfer rate. This interface is commonly used in desktop and server-level storage environments, as it offers higher data transfer rates and improved scalability compared to traditional IDE interfaces.
Reliability
The 655708-S21 HPE 500GB SATA 6GBPS 7.2K RPM SFF SC Midline Hard Drive” is designed for high reliability and performance. It features advanced data protection technologies such as Error Correction Code (ECC) and Smart Array technology, which help to prevent data corruption and ensure data integrity. In addition, the hard drive has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours, which indicates a high level of reliability and longevity.
