Description

Experience unrivaled enterprise performance with the HPE 900 GB 2.5-Inch SAS 12Gb/s 15K RPM Enterprise Hard Drive — 6-Pack. Engineered for data centers that demand fast, consistent I/O, this bundle brings together six high-density 2.5-inch SAS drives to deliver extraordinary throughput, lower latency, and reliable operation under heavy workloads. Each drive spins at a blistering 15,000 RPM and uses a SAS 12 Gb/s interface to maximize sustained transfer rates, IOPS, and response times for OLTP databases, virtualization platforms, and data-intensive analytics. The compact 2.5-inch form factor is purpose-built for dense rack deployments, backplanes, and hot-swappable drive sleds, enabling you to scale storage without sacrificing serviceability. This six-pack bundle simplifies procurement and deployment, giving you uniform performance and predictable capacity across servers, storage arrays, or disk shelves. When you combine these drives in a RAID array or disciplined storage tiering strategy, you gain consistent performance, reduced bottlenecks, and improved overall data-center efficiency. Built to endure 24x7 operation, these enterprise drives emphasize durability and data integrity, delivering sustained reliability that minimizes downtime and protects critical workloads around the clock. From transactional systems to virtualized environments and large-scale backups, the HPE 900 GB SAS 12Gb/s 15K RPM drives are a trusted foundation for robust, scalable storage infrastructures.

  • High-speed enterprise performance: 15,000 RPM spindle speed paired with a SAS 12 Gb/s interface delivers exceptional read/write throughput and low latency, accelerating I/O-intensive workloads and reducing response times for databases, virtual machines, and analytics pipelines.
  • Premium reliability and endurance: Engineered for continuous operation in data centers, these drives incorporate robust error correction and sustained performance under heavy workloads, helping to minimize unplanned downtime and extend drive life in demanding environments.
  • Six-pack bundle for scalable deployments: This set includes six 900 GB SAS drives, offering a total raw capacity of 5.4 TB for rapid expansion, simplified procurement, and consistent deployment across RAID configurations, hot-swap backplanes, or dense storage shelves.
  • Efficient serviceability and compatibility: The 2.5-inch form factor is a staple in enterprise backplanes and drive sleds, ensuring straightforward installation in supported servers and storage enclosures and seamless integration with HPE storage ecosystems for streamlined firmware management and maintenance.
  • Optimized for data center workloads: Targeted at mixed and read-intensive workloads, these SAS 12 Gb/s drives deliver reliable performance for transactional workloads, virtualization, and data-intensive applications, helping maintain steady IOPS and support data tiering strategies across storage tiers.

how to install HPE 900 GB 2.5-Inch SAS 12Gb/s 15K RPM Enterprise Hard Drive — 6-Pack

  • Prepare the chassis: Power down the server or storage enclosure and disconnect power and data cables. Use static-free precautions to handle drives and components.
  • Identify supported bays: Locate available 2.5-inch drive bays or hot-swappable backplane slots compatible with enterprise SAS drives in your server, storage array, or MSA enclosure.
  • Open the sled and align: Remove the drive sled or tray, align the HPE drive with the sled guides, and ensure the connectors line up with the backplane interface.
  • Insert and latch: Slide the drive into the slot until the backplane latches securely or you hear/feel the locking mechanism engage. For hot-swap configurations, the drive should slide in smoothly without resistance.
  • Verify and power up: Reconnect power and data cables, reseat any removed components, and power on the system. Use your storage management software or BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected and is operating within expected parameters. If necessary, update firmware to the latest release to ensure optimal compatibility and reliability.
  • Configure in RAID or storage pool: Once detected, include the drives in your RAID configuration or storage pool, and monitor SMART data, drive health, and performance to ensure sustained reliability in production.
