HP 3TB SAS Hard Drive for Servers

The HP 652766-B21 is a 3TB midline hard drive built for HP ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 servers. It uses a 3.5-inch form factor with a SAS 6Gb/s interface and spins at 7.2K RPM. The drive ships inside a genuine HP SmartDrive carrier for hot-plug installation.

Suited for capacity-focused arrays.

This drive fits storage arrays where large capacity and sequential throughput matter more than random I/O performance. Buyers who need low latency for databases or virtualisation should look at enterprise SAS drives with higher spindle speeds. It is not intended for desktop PCs or consumer NAS units that lack SAS backplanes.

SmartDrive carrier enables tool-less hot-plug

The included Gen8/Gen9 SmartDrive carrier allows the drive to be inserted or removed without tools while the server remains powered on. Genuine HP firmware on the drive ensures compatibility with HP Smart Array controllers and system health monitoring. No additional cables, brackets or software licences are bundled.
