Available in 2.5in (SFF) & 3.5in (LFF) form factors in a wide variety of capacity points. Rotational Vibration Sensors: Enhanced rotational vibration tolerance provides Enterprise class reliability in a Midline drive. 3 Gb/sec data transfer rate supporting existing servers. New 6 Gb/sec data transfer rate exclusively for HPE Pro Liant Gen 8 servers, with new hot plug carrier design. Midline SATA offers customers the lowest $/GB drives & increased features over Entry SATA. Increased reliability of Approx. two times Entry drive reliability based on <40% workload. Detects a specific temperature threshold, drive throttles performance to protect itself. enhanced rotational vibration robustness for immunity to environmental rotational affects. Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Buffer Error Detection, Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER), Microcode Download & 3 Gb/s compatibilty. Ship with a standard one year warranty. SATA Applications. With the attractive low acquisition cost & high capacity points of SATA drives it is important to understand the appropriate applications where SATA drives should be used. Proper usage (IE <40% workload) of these drives will lessen the probability of drive failure. For high IOP's performance intense applications, mission critical applications or extreme environments HPE recommends Enterprise Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives.
