Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) provides a superior storage solution. With some storage requirements escalating and others becoming more complex, factors such as flexibility, performance, increased reliability, greater density, security, scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Today's organizations consist of different kinds of environments. Enterprise data centers must be online almost 24X7, fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously, and allow for constant growth and expansion while in operation. Other customer environments require high capacity storage and high data availability for low I/O environments. HP's portfolio of SAS drives meets all these demands.
HP SATA Hard Drives are designed for the reliability and larger capacities demanded by today's entry server and external storage environments. HP SATA Midline drives are designed with economical reliability and performance for external storage, backups and archival applications. These high capacity drives provide the lowest $/GB to our customers, and the best price advantage for non-mission critical applications with low workloads of 40% or less. HP SATA drives are available in both Large Form Factor (LFF) (3.5-inch) and Small Form Factor (SFF) (2.5-inch) and ship with a standard one year warranty, 1,0,0. All HP hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which ensures that every HP drive is proven to perform in your HP ProLiant server. Before final certification, all HP SATA Hard Drives are optimized for compatibility and functionality, including support of SMART and HP Systems Insight Manager.
