The HPE 1 TB SATA 7.2K RPM Hard Drive is a mid-line internal storage drive designed for HPE ProLiant servers and storage systems, providing large capacity, reliable performance, and compatibility with a wide range of enterprise platforms. It uses a SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface and spins at 7,200 RPM, balancing capacity with steady performance for general-purpose data volumes.
The HPE 1 TB SATA 7.2 K RPM HDD is typically offered in a 3.5″ Large Form Factor (LFF) — with part numbers such as 843266-B21, 657739-001, 657753-001, and 657750-B21 among others — and is optimized for midline enterprise workloads where large capacity storage is needed without requiring the higher performance of SAS or SSD drives.
Some variants may come with a SmartCarrier (SC) or standard carrier depending on chassis support, enabling hot-swap capability when used with supported backplanes.
