Improved Data Transfer Speed

The HPE 652766-B21 Hard Drive features a SAS 6GBPS interface, which offers improved data transfer speeds compared to previous generations of interfaces. With a maximum transfer rate of 6 gigabits per second, this hard drive enables faster read and write operations, allowing for quicker access to data and improved overall system performance.

Enhanced Scalability and Flexibility

The SAS 6GBPS interface provides enhanced scalability and flexibility for users. It allows for the connection of multiple devices, such as servers and storage systems, using a single cable, reducing the number of cables required in a system. This simplifies the overall infrastructure and makes it easier to manage and expand storage capacity as needed.

Better Reliability and Fault-Tolerance

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) technology offers better reliability and fault-tolerance compared to other interfaces. It supports features like error detection and correction, ensuring data integrity during transmission. Additionally, SAS drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be replaced without shutting down the system, minimizing downtime in case of drive failure.

Compatibility with Existing Infrastructure

The SAS 6GBPS interface is backward compatible with previous SAS generations, as well as with SATA (Serial ATA) drives. This compatibility allows for seamless integration with existing infrastructure, making it an ideal choice for users who want to upgrade their storage systems without needing to replace their entire hardware setup.

FormFactor: LFF

Increased Storage Capacity

The HPE 652766-B21 Hard Drive comes in a Large Form Factor (LFF), which allows for higher storage capacity compared to Small Form Factor (SFF) drives. With LFF, users can have larger platters and more disks in the same drive enclosure, resulting in increased storage capacity. This is particularly beneficial for users who require large amounts of storage for data-intensive applications or high-capacity storage solutions.

Better Airflow and Cooling

LFF drives offer better airflow and cooling compared to SFF drives. The larger size allows for improved heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating and ensuring the drive operates within optimal temperature ranges. This is especially important in server environments where multiple drives are deployed, as it helps maintain the overall system reliability and performance.

Compatibility with Existing Drive Bays

LFF drives are designed to fit into standard drive bays found in most server and storage systems. This compatibility ensures easy installation and integration into existing hardware setups, without the need for additional modifications or specialized equipment. Users can simply replace their existing drives with LFF drives, benefiting from increased storage capacity without any major infrastructure changes.

Capacity: 3TB

Ample Storage Space

The HPE 652766-B21 Hard Drive offers a generous capacity of 3TB, providing ample storage space for various applications and data-intensive workloads. This high capacity allows users to store large amounts of data, including documents, multimedia files, databases, and virtual machine images, without the need for multiple drives or complex storage configurations.

Consolidation of Data

A higher capacity drive like the 3TB option allows for data consolidation. Instead of spreading data across multiple drives or storage systems, users can consolidate their data onto a single drive, simplifying management and improving accessibility. This consolidation can lead to better organization, easier backups, and improved overall efficiency in data storage and retrieval.

Future-Proofing

With the constant growth of data, having a high-capacity drive like the 3TB option helps future-proof your storage infrastructure. It provides room for expansion and accommodates the increasing demands of data-intensive applications and workflows. Users can confidently invest in the HPE 652766-B21 Hard Drive, knowing that it can handle their storage needs both now and in the future.

RotationalSpeed: 7.2K RPM

Faster Data Access

The HPE 652766-B21 Hard Drive operates at a rotational speed of 7.2K RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). This faster rotational speed enables quicker data access, reducing the latency between the time a request is made and the data is retrieved from the drive. As a result, users experience improved responsiveness and faster application performance, especially when dealing with large files or performing random read/write operations.

Smooth Multimedia Streaming

The higher rotational speed of 7.2K RPM ensures smooth multimedia streaming experiences. When accessing multimedia files, such as videos or audio recordings, the drive can retrieve the required data at a faster rate, minimizing buffering or lagging issues. This is particularly beneficial for users who rely on media-intensive applications, such as video editing or streaming services.

Optimized for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)

Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) applications, which involve frequent database transactions, require fast access to data. The 7.2K RPM rotational speed of the HPE 652766-B21 Hard Drive caters to OLTP workloads, as it offers improved I/O performance and reduces response times. This ensures that database transactions are processed quickly and efficiently, enhancing overall system productivity.

Energy Efficiency

The 7.2K RPM rotational speed strikes a balance between performance and energy efficiency. Compared to higher RPM drives, such as 10K or 15K RPM options, the 7.2K RPM drives consume less power while still delivering satisfactory performance. This energy efficiency not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a greener and more sustainable IT infrastructure.
