0974240-03 - HP 3TB 7200RPM Hard Drive Tray

Product Description

The HP 3TB 7200RPM Hard Drive Tray, part number 0974240-03, is a critical component for storage expansion and maintenance within HP server infrastructure. This tray is specifically designed to house a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, providing a secure and standardized method for insertion and removal from hot-swap drive bays. The 7200RPM rotational speed indicates a balance between performance and power consumption, suitable for a wide range of enterprise workloads that require faster data access than 5400RPM drives but may not necessitate the higher speeds of 10K or 15K RPM drives. This tray is engineered to be compatible with both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces, offering flexibility in drive selection for system administrators. The inclusion of the tray itself simplifies the installation process, as it often comes pre-assembled with the necessary connectors and mounting points. This ensures that the drive is properly seated, electrically connected, and physically secured within the server chassis, which is vital for maintaining data integrity and preventing drive dislodgement during operation or maintenance. As an official HP component, the 0974240-03 tray is built to meet the rigorous standards of enterprise environments. It is designed for reliability, hot-plug capability (allowing drives to be added or removed without shutting down the server), and seamless integration with HP's server management tools. This ensures that IT professionals can confidently deploy and manage storage solutions, benefiting from the performance and capacity offered by the 3TB 7200RPM drive while relying on the robust design of the HP ecosystem.
