About the HPE 718160-B21 - HPE 1.2TB SAS 10K SFF HDD
Power efficiency and capacity density are critical in mission-critical storage environments, and the HPE 718160-B21 delivers both. This HPE 1.2TB SAS 10K SFF HDD combines enterprise-grade reliability with the compact 2.5-inch small form factor that maximizes drive count in space-constrained JBOD enclosures and server configurations. Operating at 10,000 RPM with a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, the 718160-B21 provides the performance profile required for high-transaction database workloads and virtualized environments where consistent I/O throughput matters. The drive features 512n sector sizing and ships with the HPE SFF SmartDrive Carrier included, ensuring immediate deployment compatibility with HPE infrastructure.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams standardizing on HPE platform investments will recognize the 718160-B21 as the logical choice for ProLiant DL, ML, BL, and SL series servers, as well as BladeSystem deployments. This enterprise HDD integrates directly with HPE Smart Array SAS controllers and leverages HPE iLO health monitoring and predictive failure reporting, eliminating visibility gaps in large-scale storage arrays. The hot-plug capability and SmartDrive feature set reduce operational friction during maintenance cycles. Temperature operating range from 0°C to 60°C ensures stable performance across standard datacenter climates, while non-operating tolerance extends to -40°C to 70°C for flexible logistics and temporary storage scenarios.
