Description
Product Overview
The HPE 861681-B21 hard drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for use in enterprise-level data centers and server environments. With a capacity of 2 TB, this drive provides ample storage space for large amounts of data. It has a spin speed of 7200 RPM, which delivers fast read and write speeds, making it ideal for applications that require fast access to data, such as databases and virtual machines.
This hard drive is designed with a 3.5-inch form factor and a low profile design, making it a good choice for systems with limited space. It also features a hot-swap design, allowing for easy and convenient installation and replacement without the need for downtime or system shutdown. The drive uses the SATA-6Gbps interface for fast data transfer, and it also supports advanced features such as S.M.A.R.T., NCQ, and TRIM.
Interfaces and Connectivity
The HPE 861681-B21 hard drive features a SATA-6Gbps interface for connectivity to the host system. SATA is a standard interface for storage devices and provides fast data transfer speeds, making it an ideal choice for enterprise-level systems that require fast and reliable data access.
This hard drive supports advanced SATA features, such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and TRIM, which improve the performance and reliability of the drive. NCQ allows the drive to receive and execute multiple read and write commands in the optimal order, improving disk performance and reducing the number of disk accesses required to perform a task. TRIM is a command that allows the operating system to inform the drive which blocks of data are no longer needed, allowing the drive to free up space and improve write performance.
In addition to SATA connectivity, the HPE 861681-B21 hard drive also supports standard hot-swap connectivity, allowing for easy and convenient installation and replacement without the need for downtime or system shutdown. This feature makes it ideal for use in environments where system uptime and data availability are critical.
Power Management and Environmental Compliance
The HPE 861681-B21 hard drive is designed to be energy efficient, reducing power consumption and operating costs while also helping to minimize the environmental impact of the system. The drive features power management features that help to reduce power consumption, such as spinning down the disk when it is not in use.
In addition to power management, the HPE 861681-B21 hard drive also complies with a number of environmental regulations and standards. For example, it is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning that it does not contain certain hazardous substances that can be harmful to the environment.
The drive is also designed to operate within a wide range of environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity, making it suitable for use in a variety of data center and server environments. The drive is also designed to withstand vibration and shock, helping to ensure the safety and integrity of the data stored on it.
