P53562-B21 HPE 1.8TB SAS 12G Mission Critical 10K SFF BC 3-year Warranty 512e Multi Vendor HDD

The HPE P53562-B21 is an enterprise-grade 1.8TB SAS 12Gb/s 10K RPM SFF (2.5-inch) Mission Critical Hard Drive enclosed in an HPE Basic Carrier (BC). Engineered for high-availability enterprise environments, this drive delivers the optimal balance of high performance, capacity, and mission-critical reliability required for core data center workloads.

As a Multi Vendor formatted drive, it is built to HPE’s rigorous standards but sources components from multiple top-tier manufacturers. This ensures a stable, continuous supply chain and consistent performance metrics across large-scale server deployments, such as HPE ProLiant Gen11 platforms.

Designed specifically for 24/7/365 enterprise applications, this 10K RPM SAS drive handles heavy, continuous multi-user I/O workloads with high fault tolerance. It features enterprise-level firmware that optimizes data integrity, minimizes rotational vibration effects, and drastically reduces drive failure rates in dense server chassis.

The dual-port SAS 12Gb/s interface offers double the bandwidth of standard SATA drives and supports full-duplex communication. This maximizes data throughput, accelerates transactional database operations, and ensures rapid data retrieval under high-concurrency workloads.

Utilizing the 512-emulated (512e) format, this drive provides seamless compatibility with legacy operating systems and enterprise applications while taking advantage of high-density advanced sector recording technology. Packing 1.8TB into a 2.5-inch SFF form factor maximizes storage capacity per rack unit.

Equipped with the newer HPE Basic Carrier (BC), this drive is fully optimized for the backplane architectures of the latest generation servers. It enables smooth hot-plug execution, secure latching, and structural dampening, ensuring high mechanical reliability inside the server.

This drive is officially certified and validated for high-density enterprise server platforms requiring the HPE Basic Carrier (BC) slot architecture, including:

• HPE ProLiant Gen11 / Gen10 Plus server series (e.g., DL360, DL380, ML350 configured with BC backplanes).

• High-transaction enterprise databases and Email/Messaging servers.

• Data analytics, virtualization clusters, and high-availability storage arrays.

• Mission-critical infrastructure requiring maximum uptime and a 3-year warranty security blanket.
