Enterprise Storage Drive
The HPE 881457-B21 is a 2.4TB internal hard drive built for HPE ProLiant servers. It uses a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s and spins at 10000 rpm. The 2.5 inch small form factor fits dense server chassis. Digitally signed firmware helps protect data integrity.
Upgrade From Slower SAS Drives
This drive replaces lower-capacity or lower-speed SAS drives in supported Gen9 servers. The jump is worth it when workloads need more space and faster sequential access without moving to solid-state media. It fits the same drive bays and uses the same 12Gb/s SAS backplane.
Capacity And Headroom
The 2.40 TB capacity handles large databases, virtualisation stores and backup targets. The 10K spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads. It runs out when latency-sensitive applications demand sub-millisecond response times that only flash storage can provide.

- 10 000 rpm spindle speed accelerates data access
- SAS 12Gb/s interface enables fast throughput

Questions about this item
Does the 2.5" form factor fit the drive bays in a DL180 Gen9?
Yes, the 2.5" SFF design matches the small-form-factor bays used in the DL180 Gen9 and other listed ProLiant Gen9 servers.
What is the correct way to seat the SAS connector on the 881457-B21 during installation?
Align the dual-port SAS connector with the backplane and press firmly until the latch clicks; the most common mistake is stopping before the latch engages.
When should the 2.4TB 10K drive be replaced in a server running continuous workloads?
Replace the drive when SMART attributes show rising reallocated-sector counts, seek errors, or when the drive exceeds its rated workload limit.
