Internal Hard Drive HPE 8 TB 3.5 inch SAS 7200 RPM 834132-001

8TB SAS hard drive with 12 Gb/s interface, 7,200 RPM spindle speed and 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF). Designed for server and enterprise storage systems that require high-capacity, hot-swappable drives in a Low Profile (LP) carrier. The drive uses 512e sector format and includes digitally signed firmware for verified integrity.

Advantages

The 8TB capacity provides large storage density for databases, backup and archival tasks. The 12 Gb/s SAS interface ensures high-throughput connectivity for multi-drive arrays. A 7,200 RPM spindle balance offers predictable performance and power efficiency compared with higher-RPM models. The Low Profile carrier allows compatibility with racks and enclosures that require slim drive caddies. Digitally signed firmware reduces the risk of unauthorized firmware changes.
