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

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.
