HP 500GB 7200 RPM SATA drive
This HP 632078-B21 is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a 500GB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and is built for server and storage environments. The drive measures 100.33mm long, 73.91mm wide and 18.8mm high. It is sold new in retail or OEM packaging.
Server storage upgrades and replacements
This drive suits administrators adding capacity to compatible HP servers or external arrays that accept 2.5-inch SATA midline drives. It is not intended for slim laptops or compact enclosures that require a lower z-height. Buyers needing solid-state speed or larger capacities should consider other options.
18.8mm drive height
The critical specification is the 18.8mm maximum height which determines whether the drive fits in the target bay. Many server chassis and drive trays are built for this form factor while thinner bays will reject it. Verify the bay clearance before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 7200 RPM 500GB SATA drive generate when running continuously in a server?
The 2.5 inch 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s drive is built for server workloads; its 18.8mm height fits standard bays and the 500GB platters run at 7.2K speed for sustained throughput.
Does the HP 632078-B21 need a drive tray or caddy to install in my laptop?
The bare 2.5 inch SATA drive measures 73.91mm wide by 100.33mm long and uses the standard SATA data and power connectors; a tray is only required if your chassis uses a hot-plug carrier.
Will this 6.0Gb/s SATA drive work at full speed on a motherboard that only supports SATA 3.0Gb/s?
Yes, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible and will operate at the host controller's maximum rate, so it works with older SATA ports.
