Internal 3.5" HPE 1TB 6G SAS 7200 RPM LFF SC Midline HDD, 1 TB, 7200 RPM

Internal 3.5" HPE 1TB 6G SAS 7200 RPM LFF SC Midline HDD is a 1 TB enterprise-class hard disk drive in a 3.5-inch large form factor (LFF) designed for server and storage systems. The drive provides a 6 Gbit/s SAS interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed, offering a balance of capacity and sustained performance appropriate for bulk storage, backups and archival data. Its standard 3.5" dimensions and 1.36 kg weight make it compatible with common enterprise trays and enclosures.

Advantages

This HPE Midline SAS drive combines a full 1 TB capacity with a 7200 RPM rotational speed and a 6 Gbit/s SAS interface to deliver reliable sequential throughput for large-volume data sets. The large form factor supports higher platter capacity per drive, reducing the number of units required for volumetric storage. Built to fit standard server bays, the drive is suitable for integration into RAID arrays and shared storage systems where consistent capacity and predictable performance are required.

Suitable for

• Bulk data storage and file repositories
• Backup and archival systems
• RAID arrays in servers and storage enclosures
• Cold and warm storage tiers where capacity and cost-efficiency are priorities

Key specifications

• Capacity: 1000 GB (1 TB)
• Form factor: 3.5-inch (Large Form Factor)
• Interface: 6 Gbit/s SAS
• Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
• Typical use: server and workstation storage, midline/nearline workloads
• Weight: 1.36 kg

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 3.5" drive bay or tray in accordance with the server or enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the SAS data and power interfaces to the host controller or backplane, then configure the drive within the operating system or RAID controller. When adding to an existing array, follow the RAID controller procedures for drive replacement or expansion to avoid data loss. Initialize, partition and format the drive using the chosen file system before placing it into production.

Usage recommendations

For optimal reliability, use this 7200 RPM Midline SAS drive in environments with appropriate cooling and vibration control. Employ regular backup and RAID redundancy for critical data. Match firmware and drive models when populating RAID arrays to ensure predictable behavior and performance. Monitor SMART attributes and drive health periodically to detect early signs of wear or failure.
