Description

The HP 391649-9D0 is a slimline internal DVD-RW drive specifically designed for integration into HP ProLiant DL380 servers. This drive offers the capability to read and write to DVD media at speeds up to 24x, and to CD media at speeds up to 8x. The slimline form factor is crucial for fitting into the compact drive bays found in many server chassis, including the popular DL380 series. This drive supports various DVD formats, including DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM, as well as standard CD-R and CD-RW formats. The high DVD write speed of 24x allows for relatively quick creation of DVD backups or distribution media. The interface is typically SATA, which is standard for modern server components, ensuring good data transfer rates and compatibility with the server's motherboard. Its primary purpose in a ProLiant DL380 server would be for installing operating systems and applications from optical media, performing system backups to DVD, or reading data from existing DVD or CD discs. The inclusion of a DVD-RW drive in a server provides essential optical media functionality without requiring external USB drives, maintaining the server's streamlined profile and internal connectivity.
