HPE SATA Server Hard Drives

SATA 6G · 3GSFF · LFF

SATA hard drives for HPE ProLiant servers: 7.2K rpm Business Critical (Midline) and Entry drives, in two sizes and on four carriers. 2.5-inch SFF drives sit on the Smart Carrier (SC) for most Gen8 to Gen10 servers and the Basic Carrier (BC) from Gen10 Plus; 3.5-inch LFF drives sit 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 SATA drive runs on the embedded SATA controller as well as on a Smart Array or tri-mode controller, which makes it the simplest drive to add to a server.

HPE SATA hard drive questions

Does a SATA hard drive need a Smart Array controller?

No. The embedded SATA controller runs SATA drives; a Smart Array or tri-mode controller runs them too, with hardware RAID. Your server's drives page names the controllers HPE lists for it.

Midline or Entry?

Both spin at 7.2K rpm. In HPE's words, “HPE HDDs are available for three types of workloads: Enterprise high-performance (Mission Critical), Midline high capacity (Business Critical), and Entry-level storage solutions.” Midline (Business Critical) drives are for “Business Critical, High capacity” storage such as “Backup, archive, reference”; Entry drives are for “Low I/O” work such as boot and backup, and HPE notes of them: “Supported on select HPE ProLiant servers only.”

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 SATA 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.
