HPE 1TB LFF 3.5" SATA 6G Business Critical 7.2K SC HDD

The HPE 861691-B21 is a 1TB hard drive that provides storage suited for business-critical data inside HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers. It uses a 3.5-inch large form factor and a 6Gb/s SATA interface, letting you expand capacity without new cabling or controllers.

A rotation speed of 7200 RPM gives the drive steady throughput for daily file sharing, departmental backups, and archival jobs that run throughout the day. It sits between entry-level nearline drives and performance-oriented solid state options, delivering balanced speed and cost.

The included HPE Smart Carrier enables hot-plug installation, so the server can stay online while you add or replace the drive. Native Command Queuing manages request ordering, and the 512-byte sector format keeps the unit compatible with a broad range of operating systems and controllers.

This practical mix of capacity, ease of use, and dependable performance makes the 861691-B21 a strong choice for branch offices, small to mid-sized enterprises, or lab environments that need straightforward bulk storage. A one-year limited warranty from HPE helps ensure quick support if you ever need it.
