HPE ProLiant Drives - HDDs & SSDs

Drive Type

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) servers support a variety of drive types, including:

Interface Type

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) servers support both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the user, including the data transfer rate, the size of the storage, and the cost. SAS drives are typically more expensive but offer higher performance and reliability compared to SATA drives. SATA drives are more affordable and suitable for less demanding applications.

Interface Speed

HP Enterprise (HPE) server drives can have different interface speeds, including 6Gbps, 12Gbps, and 24Gbps. The choice of interface speed depends on the specific requirements of the application, as well as the capability of the server hardware.

It is important to choose the appropriate interface speed for a specific application to ensure that the server performs optimally and to avoid any potential bottlenecks in data transfer.


Form Factor Size

The form factor size of a drive refers to its physical dimensions and the design specifications that it follows. The most common form factor sizes for HP Enterprise (HPE) server drives include:

The choice of form factor size depends on the specific requirements of the application and the available space within the server. It is important to choose a form factor size that is compatible with the server hardware to ensure proper installation and performance.


Carrier Type

The choice of carrier for HP Enterprise (HPE) server drives depends on the form factor size of the drive and the specific requirements of the server configuration. The following are the most common types of carriers:

It is important to choose the appropriate carrier type that matches the form factor size of the drive and the configuration of the server to ensure proper installation and performance. HPE carriers are not interchangeable so choosing the wrong type will prevent you from installing your new storage.


Storage Capacity

The choice of storage capacity for HP Enterprise (HPE) server drives depends on the specific requirements of the application. Some factors to consider when choosing the appropriate storage capacity include:

When choosing the appropriate storage capacity for a server drive, it is important to consider both the current and future needs of the application to ensure that the server has adequate storage for its requirements.


Workload

The rotation speed of a HPE Drive is an important factor in determining its performance and the specific applications for which it is best suited. The following are common rotation speeds for HP Enterprise (HPE) server drives:

It is important to choose the appropriate rotation speed for a server drive based on the specific requirements of the application to ensure that the server has adequate performance to meet its needs.
