HPE SAS Server Hard Drives

SAS 12G · 6G · 3GSFF · LFF

SAS hard drives for HPE ProLiant servers, in two sizes and on four carriers. 2.5-inch SFF drives spin at 15K or 10K rpm (Mission Critical, Enterprise) or 7.2K rpm (Midline), on the Smart Carrier (SC) for most Gen8 to Gen10 servers and the Basic Carrier (BC) from Gen10 Plus. 3.5-inch LFF drives are mostly 7.2K rpm Midline drives, on the Smart Carrier for Gen8 and Gen9 servers and the Low Profile (LP) carrier for most Gen10 models and every later generation. Standard Carrier (ST) drives fit the servers before Gen8. A SAS drive needs a Smart Array or tri-mode controller.

HPE SAS hard drive questions

Does a SAS hard drive work on the embedded controller?

No. The embedded SATA controller runs SATA drives only; a SAS drive needs a Smart Array or tri-mode controller. Your server's drives page names the controllers HPE lists for it.

10K, 15K or 7.2K rpm?

HPE sorts its hard drives by workload: “HPE HDDs are available for three types of workloads: Enterprise high-performance (Mission Critical), Midline high capacity (Business Critical), and Entry-level storage solutions.” 15K and 10K rpm drives are the Mission Critical (Enterprise) class, for “Mission-critical, high I/O” work; 7.2K rpm drives are the Business Critical (Midline) class, for “Business Critical, High capacity” storage such as “Backup, archive, reference”.

Which carrier does my server take?

Most Gen8 to Gen10 ProLiant servers take Smart Carrier (SC) drives; most Gen10 Plus servers and the Gen11 and Gen12 servers take Basic Carrier (BC) drives in their 2.5-inch bays and Low Profile (LP) drives in their 3.5-inch bays. The carrier is in the drive's name, and your server's drives page lists the drives HPE lists for it.

Servers HPE lists SAS hard drives for

From each server's HPE QuickSpecs. Each page lists the drives HPE lists for that server, with the bays, carriers and controllers that decide what fits.
