HPE 787641-001 SAS-12GBPS 450GB 15K RPM SFF Hard Drive | Brand New 3 Years Warranty

The power consumption and efficiency of the HPE 787641-001 SFF 450GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive are important considerations for data center operators, as they can have a significant impact on energy costs and system efficiency.

The Hard Drive is designed to operate with a low power consumption while still delivering high performance. It has a maximum power consumption of 8.7 watts during read/write operations, and an idle power consumption of 5.5 watts. This low power consumption helps to reduce energy costs and minimize the environmental impact of the storage system.

In addition to low power consumption, the Hard Drive also includes several features that help to improve its efficiency. For example, it includes an advanced power management system that helps to optimize power consumption by controlling the Hard Drive’s activity based on system usage patterns. This can help to reduce power consumption and improve system efficiency.

The Hard Drive also includes a feature called “smart carrier” that allows it to communicate with the server it is installed in, providing real-time information about power consumption and temperature. This information can be used by the server’s power management system to optimize power usage and improve system efficiency.

Finally, the Hard Drive meets industry standards for energy efficiency, including compliance with the European Union’s Energy-related Products Directive (ErP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR program. These standards help to ensure that the Hard Drive is designed and manufactured with energy efficiency in mind, further reducing its environmental impact.

Hot-Pluggable Design

The HPE 787641-001 SFF 450GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive features a hot-pluggable design, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the server is still running. This is an important feature in enterprise environments where downtime must be minimized and system availability is critical.

The hot-pluggable design allows system administrators to add, remove, or replace Hard Drives without having to shut down the server or interrupt the operation of other components in the system. This reduces system downtime, increases productivity, and enhances system availability.

In addition, the Hard Drive features a tool-less design that allows it to be easily installed and removed without the need for any special tools. This further simplifies the process of replacing or upgrading Hard Drives, reducing the risk of human error and minimizing the time required for maintenance tasks.

The hot-pluggable design of the HPE 787641-001 SFF 450GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive is a key feature that helps to ensure the availability and reliability of the storage system. By allowing Hard Drives to be added, removed, or replaced while the server is still running, the hot-pluggable design helps to minimize system downtime and reduce the risk of data loss or corruption due to Hard Drive failures.

Operating System Compatibility

The HPE 787641-001 SFF 450GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive is designed to be compatible with a wide range of operating systems commonly used in enterprise data center environments. This includes popular operating systems such as Microsoft Windows Server, Linux, and VMware ESXi.

The Hard Drive supports the SAS interface, which is a widely used standard for storage connectivity. This interface is supported by most major operating systems and storage controllers, making it easy to integrate the Hard Drive into existing data center environments.

In addition, HPE provides drivers and firmware updates for the Hard Drive that are specifically designed to be compatible with various operating systems. These updates ensure that the Hard Drive operates smoothly and efficiently, and that it is fully compatible with the operating system and storage controller it is connected to.

The HPE 787641-001 SFF 450GB 15K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hard Drive is designed to be highly compatible with a wide range of operating systems commonly used in enterprise data centers. This compatibility helps to ensure that the Hard Drive can be seamlessly integrated into existing storage systems and provides reliable, high-performance storage for critical enterprise applications.
