HDD HPE 2TB 3.5 inch SATA 7200 RPM 658102-001

The HPE 2TB 3.5" SATA 7200 RPM hard disk drive provides 2 TB of storage in a 3.5-inch form factor with a Serial ATA interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. Designed for server and storage systems from HP Enterprise environments, this hot-plug SATA HDD supports large-capacity data storage and frequent read/write operations while maintaining compatibility with standard SATA connections used in many enterprise chassis and enclosures.

Advantages

This 3.5" SATA HDD combines high capacity and a 7200 RPM rotational speed to deliver a balance of storage density and responsive performance for mixed workloads. The hot-plug capability simplifies replacement and service without shutting down systems that support hot-swap bays. Built to enterprise quality standards, the drive is optimized for sustained operation and consistent data access, reducing latency compared with lower-speed consumer drives.

Suitable for

• Primary or secondary storage in rack servers and tower servers
• Bulk data storage and archival arrays
• Network-attached storage (NAS) systems compatible with 3.5" SATA drives
• Virtual machine storage where large capacity and moderate performance are required

Key specifications

• Capacity: 2000 GB
• Form factor: 3.5 inch
• Interface: Serial ATA (SATA)
• Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
• Hot-plug support: yes (for compatible enclosures)

How to use

Install the HDD into a compatible 3.5-inch drive bay or carrier in your server, storage array, or NAS device following the chassis manufacturer's instructions. Connect the drive to the system's SATA data and power connectors or insert it into a hot-swap bay if the enclosure supports hot-plug operation. Initialize and format the disk within the operating system or storage controller, create partitions or logical volumes as required, and configure RAID or file system settings according to your deployment needs.

Recommendations

Place the drive in an environment with adequate cooling and stable power. Use enterprise-grade power and RAID controllers that support SATA 3.5" drives. For critical data, deploy redundancy (RAID or replication) and regular backups. Monitor drive health with SMART tools and scheduled maintenance to ensure consistent performance and early detection of potential faults.
