HPE 6TB SAS 12G Business Critical 7.2K LFF LP HDD

The HPE 861746-B21 is a 6TB hard disk drive created for administrators who need dependable capacity inside HPE servers that use a 3.5-inch SAS bay. It connects through a 12G SAS interface, so large datasets move quickly while latency stays low for everyday business applications.

With a spindle speed of 7200 RPM and an average seek time of 7.45 milliseconds, the drive keeps file services, backup jobs, and archival workloads responsive. The 512e advanced sector format delivers modern efficiency, making the most of each platter without sacrificing compatibility with current operating systems.

The low-profile carrier lets you slide the drive into dense rack servers or storage enclosures where clearance is limited. Digitally signed firmware adds another layer of defense against malicious code, which is valuable for organizations that handle sensitive records or customer data.

Whether you are expanding an HPE Compute Mainstream Platform, building a bulk-storage tier for virtual machines, or adding space for cloud backups, this drive offers the familiar quality and one-year limited warranty you expect from HPE.
