Form Factor

The HPE 818369-004 Hard Drive features a 3.5-inch LFF (Large Form Factor) design. This form factor is commonly used in desktop computers and server systems, offering several benefits to users.

Benefits of 3.5-inch LFF Form Factor

Greater Storage Capacity

The larger form factor of the 3.5-inch hard drive allows for higher storage capacities compared to smaller form factors like 2.5-inch drives. With more physical space available, manufacturers can fit larger platters and more data onto the hard drive, resulting in increased storage capacity. This makes the 3.5-inch LFF form factor an excellent choice for users who require maximum storage space.

Improved Cooling and Heat Dissipation

The larger size of the 3.5-inch hard drive enables better airflow within the system, leading to improved cooling and heat dissipation. This is particularly important in high-performance systems that generate a significant amount of heat during operation. By effectively managing heat, the 3.5-inch LFF form factor helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of the hard drive.

Enhanced Durability

The 3.5-inch LFF form factor offers increased durability compared to smaller form factors. The larger size provides more mechanical stability, reducing the risk of damage from vibrations or shocks. This makes it a reliable choice for systems that may experience rough handling or transportation, such as servers or portable workstations.

Speed

The HPE 818369-004 Hard Drive operates at a speed of 7.2K RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). The rotational speed of a hard drive plays a crucial role in its performance and determines how quickly data can be accessed.

Benefits of 7.2K RPM Speed

Faster Data Access

The 7.2K RPM speed ensures faster data access times compared to lower RPM drives. With a higher rotational speed, the hard drive's read/write heads can locate and retrieve data more quickly, resulting in reduced latency and improved overall performance. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require frequent data retrieval, such as databases or virtual machines.

Improved Sequential Data Transfer

The higher rotational speed of the 7.2K RPM hard drive enables faster sequential data transfer rates. Sequential data refers to large blocks of data that are stored consecutively on the hard drive. Tasks like file transfers or media streaming heavily rely on sequential data access. With the 7.2K RPM speed, users can enjoy smoother and uninterrupted data transfers, enhancing their overall computing experience.

Optimized Workloads

The 7.2K RPM speed strikes a balance between performance and energy efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of workloads. It offers a significant performance boost over slower RPM drives without consuming excessive power. This makes it an ideal choice for general-purpose computing tasks, including office productivity, web browsing, and multimedia playback.

Ports

The HPE 818369-004 Hard Drive features dual ports, providing users with increased flexibility and redundancy in their storage systems.

Benefits of Dual Port

Enhanced Data Availability

Dual ports enable simultaneous connection to multiple host systems or storage controllers. This redundancy ensures that if one port or controller fails, the other port remains functional, maintaining uninterrupted access to your data. This feature is particularly crucial in enterprise environments where downtime can result in significant financial losses or operational disruptions.

Load Balancing and Failover

Dual ports allow for load balancing and failover capabilities. Load balancing distributes the data transfer workload across both ports, maximizing performance and preventing bottlenecks. In case one port fails or experiences a performance issue, failover automatically redirects data traffic to the functioning port, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing the risk of data loss.

Flexible Configuration Options

Dual ports provide greater flexibility when configuring storage systems. Users can choose to connect the hard drive to multiple hosts simultaneously or use one port for redundancy. This flexibility allows for various storage configurations, such as high-availability clusters or storage area networks (SANs), catering to different business needs and requirements.

Scalability and Expansion

Dual ports facilitate easy scalability and expansion of storage systems. With dual-port drives, users can easily add more drives or expand their storage capacity without disrupting ongoing operations. This scalability ensures that your storage infrastructure can grow alongside your business needs, providing a cost-effective solution for future storage requirements.
