HDD HPE 1TB 3.5 inch SATA III 7200 RPM 861756-B21

The HPE 1TB 3.5" SATA III 7200 RPM internal hard drive (MPN 861756-B21) provides 1 TB of storage capacity in a 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) and uses a Serial ATA III interface with a 6 Gb/sec data transfer rate. Designed for non‑mission‑critical server applications and storage environments, this drive is optimized for compatibility with HPE ProLiant servers and supports SMART and HPE Systems Insight Manager. It ships with a standard one-year warranty.

Advantages

This HPE SATA drive delivers a cost‑efficient $/GB for high‑capacity needs while maintaining reliability suitable for workloads up to approximately 40% or less. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and SATA III interface provide consistent data throughput, and rotational vibration sensors improve tolerance to vibrations common in multi-drive systems. All HPE drives undergo a qualification process to verify performance in HPE server environments.

Suitable for

• Bulk data storage and archival for non‑mission‑critical servers
• File, backup and media storage with moderate I/O demands
• HPE ProLiant systems requiring LFF 3.5" SATA drives

How to use

Install the 3.5" HPE SATA drive into a compatible drive bay in your HPE ProLiant server or other systems that support 3.5" SATA drives. Connect the drive to the motherboard or RAID controller using a SATA data cable and connect power via the appropriate SATA power connector. Initialize and format the drive in the operating system or storage controller before placing it into production. Monitor SMART attributes and system logs to verify ongoing health.

Recommendations

Use this drive for environments with low to moderate workloads (around 40% or less). Avoid deploying it for mission‑critical applications or high‑I/O databases; choose enterprise SAS drives for sustained heavy workloads. Ensure firmware and HPE system management tools are up to date for best compatibility.
