HP Midline Hard Drive 1TB Hot-swap 2.5

Product Description

HP SATA drives are designed for the reliability & mass storage demanded by today's entry server & external storage environments. The SATA portfolio is categorized into two categories: Entry (ETY) & Midline (MDL) drives. HP SATA Entry drives are the lowest unit-cost solution for entry-level servers. HP SATA Midline drives are designed with economical reliability & performance for external storage, backups & archival applications. These high capacity drives provide the lowest $/GB to our customers. Both Entry & Midline SATA drives provide the best price advantage for non-mission critical applications with low workloads of 40% or less. Entry SATA drives offer customers the lowest acquisition cost, features include the following. Reliability for non-mission critical entry server environments, appropriate for <40% workload. Native Command Queuing (NCQ) to increase performance of SATA hard disks by optimizing the order in which received read & write commands are executed. Buffer Error Detection is used to protect the data in the drive buffer via parity or ECC. TLER purposely constrains the drive to report the error as soon as possible within 5 seconds vs. unlimited retries. Ships with a standard one year warranty. 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 HP recommends Enterprise Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives.
