HPE Hard Disk Drives QuickSpecs

Shape the Future of QuickSpecs - Your Input Matters

HPE Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are engineered to deliver optimum performance, reliability, compatibility, and data security across HPE server and storage platforms making them the preferred choice for workloads ranging from small businesses to large enterprise.

HPE HDDs are available for three types of workloads: Enterprise high-performance (Mission Critical), Midline high-capacity (Business Critical) and Entry-level storage solutions.

  • Overview

Firmware Updates

Digitally Signed Firmware – Prevent unauthorized access to your data with the expansion of integrated HPE Digitally Signed Firmware (DS) on new drives; providing the security and assurance that drive firmware comes from a trusted source and protects against malicious attacks.


For advanced data protection and encryption, customers should consider HPE Smart Array Controllers with HPE Smart Array Secure SR Encryption. It is a controller-based data encryption solution for HPE servers that protect data-at-rest on any bulk attached storage. This solution meets stringent compliance regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley.

What is HPE Hard disk drive?

Hewlett Packard Enterprise drives are tuned to deliver optimum performance for HPE Servers. They undergo an intense qualification process to eliminate firmware and O/S incompatibilities. HPE drive firmware is designed to maximize both functionality and compatibility with HPE ProLiant Rack and Tower Servers, Apollo family, Blade and Synergy Platforms.


Drive Quality and Performance

While selecting the drives in our HPE portfolio, only those drives with a performance level suitable for an enterprise environment are selected through the Hewlett Packard Enterprise qualification process and are labeled "best-in-class."


Pre-Failure Alert

When used in conjunction with a SMART Array Controller and Systems Insight Manager, the SMART capable firmware in HPE hard drives enables extensive fault prediction capabilities. If potential problems develop in one of the drives, the Smart Array Controller, Systems Insight Manager and/or SMART hard disk drive lets you know in advance so you can have the drive replaced, before it fails, under warranty


Notes: All drives are protected by a Pre-Failure Alert when used with a HPE Smart Array controller and Systems Insight Manager, allowing hard drives to be replaced before failure under warranty. In addition, all drives are covered by a one or three-year limited on-site warranty period for the system in which they are installed. The drive warranty is automatically uplifted when used in a server or MSA for which a HPE Services service contract is purchased. Please see the Support Services section below for additional services.


Smart Carriers

HPE Hard Drives with smart carriers are designed to provide an interface to communicate critical status and management information. System status LED icons and a spinning activity ring reflecting the data-writing process notify users of the current system status. A blue LED located behind the handle can be activated remotely to guide users to a specific drive tray, while a do-not-remove icon positioned on the tray’s eject button lights up to warn users when the removal of the drive would cause data loss.


Helium Drives

Although hard drives are sealed, they have air inside. Air can create turbulence-induced risk vibrations which can limit the storage density of HDDs. Newer helium-filled drives virtually eliminate turbulence because helium is 1/7th as dense as air. This lower density allows the read/write mechanism to spin more easily and precisely, with less drag. Less internal turbulence means the drive platters can be closer together, allowing more platters and increasing the capacity potential in the same space. Less turbulence also means helium drives tend to use less power, and run cooler and quieter.


Support Matrix

Please see the following URL for the latest list of supported servers and enclosures:

https://www.hpe.com/us/en/servers/server-options.html


Warranty

Enterprise hard drives have a 3 year limited warranty regardless of the warranty period for the system in which they are installed.

Midline hard drives have a 1 year limited warranty regardless of the warranty period for the system in which they are installed.
