Description
More Details
The HPE AP861A 1TB 7.2K RPM LFF 2 Ports SAS-6GBPS Midline Hard Drive is a hard drive designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It has a storage capacity of 1TB, a rotation speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM) and uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 6 Gbps interface for data transfer with 2 ports. LFF stands for Large Form Factor, which refers to the physical size of the drive.
This hard drive is part of HPE’s midline hard drive range, which is designed for high-capacity storage and nearline storage applications that do not require the high-performance or high-reliability of an enterprise-class drive. It’s intended for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems that require high storage capacity and fast data transfer rates.
It’s important to ensure that the server or storage system you intend to use it with supports the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 6 Gbps interface and that the physical dimensions of the drive match the device’s drive bay. It’s recommended to consult the vendor’s documentation and consult with their support team to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) HDD
The HPE AP861A 1TB 7.2K RPM LFF 2 Ports SAS-6GBPS Midline Hard Drive is part of HPE’s midline hard drive range, which is designed for high-capacity storage and nearline storage applications that do not require the high-performance or high-reliability of an enterprise-class drive. It has a storage capacity of 1TB, a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM and uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 6 Gbps interface for data transfer with 2 ports.
It’s intended for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems that require high storage capacity and fast data transfer rates. However, it will not perform as well as enterprise-class hard drives with higher RPM and larger buffer size in terms of read and write speed, as well as reliability.
It’s important to note that the performance of a storage system depends on many factors, including the hard drive, the storage controller, the operating system, and the configuration of the system. Therefore, for an accurate assessment of performance, it is best to consult the vendor’s specifications and testing results, and test the drive in the specific configuration of the system.
Form Factor of 1 TB Hard Drive
The HPE AP861A 1TB 7.2K RPM LFF 2 Ports SAS-6GBPS Midline Hard Drive is designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems that support the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 6 Gbps interface and have a drive bay that can accommodate the LFF (Large Form Factor) physical size of the drive. It is important to ensure that the server or storage system you intend to use it with supports the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 6 Gbps interface and that the physical dimensions of the drive match the device’s drive bay.
It is recommended to consult the vendor’s documentation and consult with their support team to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. It’s also important to check the firmware version of the server or storage system, and the maximum drive count and capacity supported by the system, as well as the Operating system support.
It’s not recommended to use this drive in standard desktop or laptop computers as it is designed for enterprise-level servers and storage systems and its performance will not be as good as other drives specifically designed for those purposes.
