Description
Introduction to the HPE 3TB SAS Midline Hard Drive
The HPE 3TB SAS Midline Hard Drive (part number 846523-003) is a high-capacity, high-performance storage device designed for use in HPE servers and storage systems. It is a 3.5-inch form factor hard drive that uses a SAS interface to connect to the server or storage system.
The SAS interface is a serial-attached SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) technology that enables faster data transfer rates and better reliability than traditional parallel SCSI interfaces. The HPE 3TB SAS Midline Hard Drive is capable of a 12 Gbps data transfer rate, which is twice as fast as the previous 6 Gbps SAS interface.
The Midline designation indicates that this hard drive is designed for moderate workloads and has a higher level of reliability than HPE’s entry-level Entry SAS hard drives. The drive spins at 7.2K RPM (rotations per minute), which strikes a balance between performance and power consumption.
The HPE 3TB SAS Midline Hard Drive is hot-pluggable, which means it can be replaced or added to a server or storage system while it is running. This is useful for minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of data loss or corruption.
Technical Specifications
Sure, here are some of the technical specifications of the HPE 846523-003 Hard Drive:
- Capacity: The HPE 846523-003 has a storage capacity of 3 terabytes (TB), which is equivalent to 3,000 gigabytes (GB).
- Form factor: The hard drive has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for server and storage systems.
- Interface: The HPE 846523-003 uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a point-to-point interface that enables high-speed data transfer rates and hot-plugging capabilities. The SAS interface has a maximum data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (Gbps).
- Spin speed: The hard drive spins at 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is a mid-range spin speed that provides a balance between performance and power consumption.
