HP 516814-B21 300GB 6Gb/s SAS 15000 3.5-in Hard Drive

Product Description

The HP 516814-B21 is a high-performance hard drive engineered for the rigorous demands of enterprise-level computing. With a substantial 300GB capacity and a rapid 15000 RPM rotational speed, this 3.5-inch drive delivers exceptional throughput for I/O-intensive applications. The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, operating at 6Gb/s, ensures robust connectivity and high-speed data transfer, making it ideal for mission-critical servers, storage arrays, and high-performance computing environments. This drive is designed for reliability and continuous operation, featuring advanced error correction and management features inherent to the SAS protocol. Its 15000 RPM speed significantly reduces seek times and latency, providing faster access to data compared to lower-speed drives. This makes it particularly well-suited for databases, transaction processing, and other applications where quick data retrieval is paramount for performance and user experience. The 516814-B21 is typically hot-swappable, allowing for drive replacement or addition without interrupting system operations, a crucial feature for maintaining high availability in enterprise data centers. Its robust construction and enterprise-grade components ensure durability and a long service life, making it a dependable choice for demanding storage needs.
