Good to know

This drive is designed for use in HPE ProLiant, Synergy, and Apollo systems. It is not intended for write-intensive workloads such as high-transaction databases or logging. The SATA 6Gb/s interface provides backward compatibility with SATA 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s controllers, though performance will be limited by the slower interface. Always verify compatibility with your specific HPE server model before purchase.
