P28352-B21 HPE 2.4TB Hard Disk Drive SAS 12G Mission Critical 10K SFF BC 512e

The P28352-B21 is a high-performance, enterprise-class hard disk drive engineered by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to deliver exceptional reliability, speed, and capacity for demanding mission-critical applications. Designed for 24/7 continuous operation in data centers, server environments, and enterprise storage systems, this drive combines a 2.4TB storage capacity with a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and a 12Gb/s SAS interface, making it ideal for transaction processing, database management, big data analytics, and high-intensity computing tasks.

As a Multi-Vendor certified solution, it ensures broad compatibility across HPE and third-party server platforms, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating deployment for IT teams.

Featuring a Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch design with a Basic Carrier (BC), the drive optimizes space utilization in compact server chassis without compromising performance. The 512e (512-byte emulation) sector format enhances compatibility with legacy and modern operating systems, while HPE's rigorous quality testing and enterprise-grade firmware deliver consistent performance, low latency, and robust data integrity.

At the heart of the P28352-B21 lies a powerful combination of performance features tailored for enterprise excellence. The 10,000 RPM spindle speed minimizes data access latency, with an average latency of just 2.9 milliseconds, ensuring rapid response times for I/O-intensive applications. The 12Gb/s SAS interface doubles the data transfer rate of previous-generation 6Gb/s SAS drives, enabling seamless throughput for large data sets and concurrent user requests.

Equipped with a 256MB cache buffer, the drive optimizes read/write operations, reducing bottlenecks in high-traffic storage environments.

Reliability is paramount for mission-critical storage, and this HPE drive exceeds industry standards. It undergoes rigorous validation testing, including reliability demonstration and integration testing, to ensure stable operation under extreme conditions. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 3.35 million hours, it delivers exceptional durability for 24/7 enterprise use.

The P28352-B21 features a compact 2.5-inch SFF design with a Basic Carrier (BC), enabling hot-swap functionality for easy installation, replacement, and maintenance without server downtime. This design is optimized for space-constrained data centers, allowing higher storage density in HPE ProLiant Gen10+, Gen11, and Gen12 servers, as well as Apollo, Blade, and Synergy platforms.

The 512e sector format supports both 512-byte and 4K-byte logical sectors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, and VMware.

As a Multi-Vendor solution, the drive eliminates compatibility barriers, supporting seamless integration with non-HPE enterprise servers and storage arrays. Its standardized design and robust construction simplify inventory management and reduce deployment time, making it a cost-effective choice for organizations with mixed-vendor IT infrastructures.
