HP 500GB 7200RPM 3.5in SATA Hard Drive 658103-001

SKU CH-ZVJJ-GFCHT

A 500 GB 3.5-inch SATA hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with hot-plug tray for server storage

  • 500 GB capacity stores large data sets
  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers fast sequential access
  • 5 inch LFF form factor fits standard drive bays
  • SATA interface enables simple host connection
  • Hot-plug tray allows drive swaps without downtime

Purpose and audience

This HP 3.5-inch hard drive provides 500 GB of storage on a SATA interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It is aimed at system integrators and IT teams who need a hot-pluggable LFF drive with a tray for quick replacement in compatible HP servers or storage arrays.

Build integration

The drive fits a standard 3.5-inch large-form-factor bay and includes the carrier tray required for hot-swap bays. Its SATA I connection works with existing backplanes and controllers, while hot-plug support lets technicians swap units without powering down the chassis.

Sustained operation

Rotational speed of 7200 RPM delivers consistent throughput for sequential workloads such as bulk backup, archival storage or media streaming. RoHS-compliant construction and hot-swap rating mean the drive is built for continuous duty in multi-drive enclosures rather than occasional desktop use.

Highlights

  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers fast sequential access
  • 5 inch LFF form factor fits standard drive bays
  • SATA interface enables simple host connection
  • Hot-plug tray allows drive swaps without downtime

Questions about this item

At what point does the 7200 RPM rotational speed become the limiting factor during sustained transfers?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed caps sequential throughput once the SATA I interface saturates, so sustained reads and writes level off at the drive’s mechanical maximum.

How much acoustic noise and heat does the 3.5 in drive produce in continuous operation?

The 3.5 inch form factor with hot-plug support is built for server bays where airflow handles the heat, and the 7200 RPM mechanism runs at typical enterprise acoustic levels.

Which server tray or caddy is required to hot-swap the 658103-001 drive?

The drive ships with its own HP LFF tray, so it slides directly into a compatible ProLiant or storage bay without an extra caddy.
