Buy HPE Mission Critical Hard Drives
HPE Mission Critical hard drives are the highest-performance drive class in HPE’s hard drive portfolio. With a speed of 15,000 rpm and minimal access times, these SAS hard drives are designed for business-critical workloads where every millisecond of latency counts. In our range, you’ll find HPE Mission Critical HDDs in various capacities and form factors – both brand new and professionally refurbished.
Within the HPE hard disk drive portfolio, the Mission Critical class represents the top tier: Whilst mid-range and business-critical drives, running at 7,200 rpm, are optimised for capacity, and the enterprise class, running at 10,000 rpm, offers a balance between performance and capacity, Mission Critical hard drives deliver the highest IOPS figures. The drives are available in 2.5-inch (SFF) and 3.5-inch (LFF) formats with HPE Smart Carrier for hot-plug operation, typically with capacities ranging from 300 GB to 900 GB via 12G SAS.
HPE Mission Critical hard drives are used wherever high transaction rates must be matched with fast storage: OLTP databases, SAP environments, billing and accounting systems, virtualised server farms with high user density, and Tier 0 and Tier 1 storage in RAID arrays. The design, engineered for a 100 per cent duty cycle, allows for continuous operation 24/7 without any loss of performance.
Technically, the drives offer SAS dual-port connectivity for redundant data paths, advanced error correction, digitally signed firmware, and comprehensive monitoring of temperature, operating hours and wear via HPE Smart Array controllers and HPE iLO. The hard drives are approved for use with HPE ProLiant servers from Gen9 to Gen11, as well as for HPE storage platforms such as HPE MSA.
Refurbished HPE Mission Critical hard drives are a cost-effective alternative to new drives. Each drive is checked for operating hours and error rates, erased in compliance with data protection regulations, and shipped with the latest firmware. This enables significant savings, particularly when replacing faulty drives in existing RAID sets or when expanding the capacity of older server generations.
