Product Overview and Benefits

High-capacity storage for dense arrays

This 6TB drive provides a cost-effective way to expand capacity density in SAN and DAS arrays. With a 3.5" form factor and large platter design, it helps reduce rack space usage compared to equivalent capacity using smaller drives.

Reliable SAS connectivity

The 6Gb/s SAS interface delivers dependable sustained throughput and enterprise-class error recovery. SAS is preferred in server and storage-class systems for higher reliability, better error handling and improved multi-pathing over consumer interfaces.

Balanced speed and endurance

At 7,200 RPM this drive offers a balance between rotational speed, power consumption and thermal output, making it well-suited for capacity-optimized volumes, bulk datasets, long-term retention and lower-I/O applications.

Supported environments

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 / 8000 series (verify model-specific support)
• HPE ProLiant servers with 3.5" SAS bays
• Third-party enterprise JBODs and SAN enclosures that accept SAS LFF drives

Physical & Interface Details

Form factor and mounting

Standard 3.5-inch width (LFF) drive — installs in typical enterprise trays and carriers used by HPE and most enclosure vendors. Check tray locking mechanisms and carrier part numbers if you use custom sleds.

Interface standard

SAS 6Gb/s (commonly referred to as 6G SAS). This provides multi-lane reliability, full-duplex communication and enterprise-level command queuing when connected to SAS HBAs or storage controllers.

Performance Considerations

While 7.2K RPM drives are not as fast as 10K/15K SAS spindles or NAND-based SSDs, they offer superior cost-per-GB and sustained transfer performance for sequential workloads. Use them in tiers where throughput and capacity outweigh ultra-low latency.

Throughput and latency

• Best for: sustained sequential reads/writes
• Not ideal for: ultra-low latency random I/O or heavy DB transaction logs
• SAS advantages: enterprise error recovery, multipath capability and controller-level optimizations

Maintenance

• Monitor SMART and array health dashboards regularly.
• Plan for longer RAID rebuild windows on large-capacity drives and consider hot-spare strategy.
• Keep spare refurbished or new drives available for rapid replacement to maintain redundancy.
