Overview

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) provides a superior storage solution. With some storage requirements escalating and others becoming more complex, factors such as flexibility, performance, increased reliability, greater density, security, scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Today's organizations consist of different kinds of environments. Enterprise data centers must be online almost 24X7, fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously, and allow for constant growth and expansion while in operation. Other customer environments require high capacity storage and high data availability for low I/O environments. HP's portfolio of SAS drives meets all these demands.

What's new

HP continues to expand it’s 6Gb/s SAS portfolio.  We already offer the 146/300GB 6G SAS 10K SFF ENT drives.  Recent additions to the portolioportfolio are:
  • HP 72GB 6G SAS 15K SFF-DP NHP ENT HDD
  • HP 72GB 6G SAS 15K SFF-DP ENT HDD
  • HP 146GB 6G SAS 15K SFF-DP ENT HDD

Ideal environment

Ideal for...

SAS Midline hard drives are ideal for servers or external storage for high-capacity, non mission-critical environments with less than 40% workloads requiring economical reliability (about twice that of Entry Drives) and redundant data paths to the drive, e.g. disk backup, archival, reference, and other highly available applications.

SAS Enterprise hard drives are ideal for servers and external storage running mission-critical, high I/O workloads applications requiring maximum reliability (about 3.5 times that of Entry Drives) and performance, e.g. high transaction applications such as email, ERP, and CRM.
