Description
Introduction to 1TB 7.2K RPM HDD
The HPE 861691-B21 is a 1TB 7.2K RPM hard disk drive designed for use in HPE servers and storage systems. The hard drive is capable of storing up to 1 terabyte of data and has a spindle speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which provides fast read and write speeds.
The 3.5 inch form factor of the HPE 861691-B21 hard drive allows it to be easily installed in a variety of HPE servers and storage systems, making it a versatile and flexible storage solution. The drive is designed with a SATA-6Gbps interface, which provides high-speed data transfer rates between the hard drive and the server or storage system.
The “SC” in the product name indicates that this is a Single Connector version of the hard drive, which means it has a single interface connector for data and power. The “Midline” designation indicates that this is a cost-effective solution for mid-tier server and storage environments, providing reliable performance without the high cost of enterprise-grade solutions.
The HPE 861691-B21 hard drive also features hot-swappable capabilities, meaning it can be removed and replaced while the server or storage system is still running, reducing downtime and increasing system availability.
Reliability and Durability
The HPE 861691-B21 Hard Drive is designed to offer reliable and durable storage solutions for your enterprise needs. Here are some of the features that contribute to the reliability and durability of this hard drive:
- Midline Hard Drive: The HPE 861691-B21 is a midline hard drive, which means it is specifically designed for the reliability and durability required in enterprise-class applications. Midline hard drives are built to handle the constant read/write operations that are typical of enterprise environments.
- 7.2K RPM Speed: The 7.2K RPM rotational speed of this hard drive allows for quick access to data, reducing latency and improving overall system performance. This speed is also optimized for reliability and durability, ensuring the hard drive can handle the stresses of constant use.
- Large Form Factor (LFF): The HPE 861691-B21 is a 3.5 inch LFF hard drive, which means it is physically larger than many other hard drives. This larger size allows for more robust construction and greater durability over time.
- SATA-6GBPS SC Interface: This hard drive is equipped with a SATA-6GBPS SC interface, which provides fast and reliable data transfer rates. This interface is designed for high availability, with features such as hot-swappable capabilities that allow for easy maintenance and replacement.
- Hot-Swap Capability: The HPE 861691-B21 hard drive is hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced without shutting down the entire system. This allows for easy maintenance and replacement, reducing downtime and improving overall system availability.
Energy Efficiency
The HPE 861691-B21 Hard Drive is designed to be energy-efficient, which means it consumes less power and generates less heat compared to traditional hard drives. This is important because it not only saves on energy costs, but also helps reduce the environmental impact of the system.
The energy efficiency of the HPE Hard Drive is achieved through several features, including:
- Low power consumption: The HPE Hard Drive is designed to consume less power, which translates to lower energy costs for users. It uses a 7.2K RPM motor, which is slower than other high-performance hard drives, but consumes less power.
- Power management features: The HPE Hard Drive has built-in power management features that allow it to operate at different power levels depending on the workload. This means that it can adjust its power consumption based on the demand for data access.
- Thermal sensors: The HPE Hard Drive has thermal sensors that monitor the temperature of the drive and adjust the motor speed accordingly. This helps to prevent overheating and ensures optimal performance while minimizing energy consumption.
- Midline class: The HPE Hard Drive belongs to the Midline class of hard drives, which are optimized for energy efficiency and reliability. Midline drives are designed to provide high capacity and performance while consuming less power.
