HDD Hewlett Packard Enterprise 900GB 2.5 SAS ENT SC 817058-001

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise 900GB 2.5 SAS ENT SC is a 10,000 RPM enterprise-class hard disk drive designed for server and data center use. With 900GB of formatted capacity and a 6Gb/s SAS interface, the drive delivers sustained throughput and low latency for mixed read/write workloads. Its 2.5-inch, high-rpm form factor provides a balance of density and performance suitable for high-availability storage arrays and SAN/NAS enclosures.

Advantages

This HDD offers consistent spindle speed and seek characteristics for predictable performance under heavy I/O. The 6G SAS interface supports high-speed connectivity and multi-path configurations commonly used in enterprise storage. The drive’s 2.5-inch form factor enables higher drive counts per chassis, while the 10K rpm rotation improves random I/O compared with lower-rpm drives. Built with enterprise-class reliability features, it is intended for 24/7 operation in rack-mounted servers and storage systems.

Suitable for

• Primary and secondary storage in rack servers
• Tiered storage and capacity-dense arrays
• Virtualisation hosts and hyper-converged infrastructure
• Database and transaction-intensive applications
• RAID configurations and fault-tolerant storage pools

Key specifications

• Capacity: 900 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: 6 Gb/s SAS (serial attached SCSI)
• Spindle speed: 10,000 RPM
• Optimised for enterprise workloads with sustained I/O performance
• Designed for 24/7 operation in server environments

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5-inch SAS bay or hot-swap carrier according to your server or storage system manufacturer instructions. Configure the drive within your RAID or storage controller utility to match desired redundancy and performance settings. Ensure firmware and storage controller drivers are up to date to maintain compatibility and performance. Monitor SMART attributes and storage management tools to track drive health and plan replacements as part of a regular maintenance schedule.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, deploy these drives in systems with enterprise-grade RAID controllers and multipath I/O configurations. Use them in application tiers where a balance of performance and density is required, and follow vendor guidelines for firmware updates and endurance monitoring to maintain long-term reliability.
