HP 874217-001 10TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-Inch Midline Hard Drive

Product Description

This HP 10TB hard drive, model number 874217-001, is designed to provide substantial storage capacity for enterprise environments. As a midline (ML) drive, it strikes an optimal balance between performance, capacity, and cost, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including general-purpose servers, direct-attached storage (DAS), and network-attached storage (NAS) solutions. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for high-capacity server drives, allowing for easy integration into most server chassis and storage arrays. The drive operates at a rotational speed of 7200 RPM, which offers a good compromise between access times and power consumption compared to slower 5400 RPM drives or faster, more power-hungry 10K/15K RPM drives. Coupled with the SATA 6Gb/s interface (also known as SATA III), it ensures high data transfer rates, enabling efficient read and write operations for demanding workloads. This makes it a versatile choice for storing large datasets, virtual machine images, backups, and other data-intensive applications. Built with enterprise-grade reliability in mind, the 874217-001 is engineered for continuous operation (24x7) in demanding server environments. It typically features technologies to enhance data integrity and ensure long-term stability. This drive is an excellent option for organizations seeking to expand their storage capacity without compromising on performance or reliability, providing a cost-effective solution for growing data storage needs.
