🔍Why Choose 15K RPM Disks?

15K RPM SAS hard drives represent the pinnacle of performance for traditional mechanical drives. With their exceptional rotational speed of 15,000 RPM, they offer access times up to twice as fast as standard 7200 RPM drives.

Although SSDs are faster, 15K SAS drives provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for applications requiring high performance without the prohibitive cost of full-SSD solutions. They are particularly suited for databases, transactional systems, and any application where data access latency is critical.

The 2.5" format also offers significant advantages: reduced power consumption, lower heat generation, higher storage density in server chassis, and increased resistance to shocks and vibrations compared to 3.5" drives.

Condition and Origin of the Drives

These 6 HP Enterprise hard drives have been removed from a functioning professional environment, ensuring they were operational at the time of their removal. They were used under normal operating conditions within professional server infrastructures.

Each drive has been carefully tested in our workshops to verify its proper functioning. The drives show signs of normal use consistent with their second-hand status (light marks on the casing, potentially marked labels), but their technical functionality is assured.

📋 Important: Drives are sold bare or with their caddy depending on availability. If caddies are not explicitly mentioned as included, consider that they are not. SMART data may indicate varying operating hours depending on previous usage. We recommend checking compatibility with your hardware before purchase.

🔒HP Authenticity Guaranteed

All hard drives in this lot are 100% authentic HP/HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) products. We guarantee the origin and authenticity of all our components. We do not sell any compatible, generic, third-party refurbished, or counterfeit hard drives.

These drives come directly from HP ProLiant servers or professional HP/HPE storage arrays and carry the manufacturer's original markings, labels, and references.

⚠️ Software Warning: These hard drives are sold without software, without an operating system, without drivers, and without technical support. Installation, formatting, RAID configuration, integration into your infrastructure, and usage are entirely the buyer's responsibility. We do not provide any technical assistance regarding installation, configuration, or troubleshooting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why buy a lot of hard drives instead of separate units for the server?
Purchasing a lot of 6 HP SAS 15K RPM hard drives offers several major advantages for professional configurations. First, it ensures perfect homogeneity of components in your RAID cluster, with the same specifications, performance, and origin, optimizing system stability and performance. Second, the savings made on bulk purchasing are substantial compared to acquiring 6 drives individually. Third, you immediately have all the necessary components to deploy a complete RAID configuration (RAID 5, 6, 10, 50, 60) without waiting for multiple deliveries. Finally, having drives from the same lot facilitates maintenance and ensures uniform wear in network storage and data center environments.
Q2: What RAID configuration can I create with this lot of 6 SAS hard drives?
With this lot of 6 HP Enterprise hard drives, you can create multiple professional RAID configurations according to your needs. For the 2 drives of 146GB, you can configure a RAID 1 (mirror) offering 146GB usable with full redundancy, ideal for the operating system or critical applications. For the 4 drives of 72GB, a RAID 10 would provide 144GB with excellent performance and tolerance to 2 failures, a RAID 5 would give 216GB with tolerance to 1 failure, or a RAID 6 would provide 144GB with tolerance to 2 failures. You can also use all 6 drives together in mixed configurations or as hot-spare drives for high availability. HP Smart Array RAID controllers support these configurations for ProLiant servers and MSA storage arrays.
Q3: Are these 15K RPM drives compatible with my HP ProLiant servers?
These 15K RPM 2.5-inch SAS 6Gb/s hard drives are compatible with a wide range of HP ProLiant servers equipped with SAS controllers and 2.5-inch SFF slots. They work perfectly with ProLiant generations G5, G6, G7, G8, G9, G10, and later, as well as with HP MSA storage arrays and HP BladeSystem blade servers. The backward compatibility of the SAS interface also allows their use with older 3Gb/s SAS controllers, although the speed will then be limited to 3Gb/s. Ensure that your server has a compatible SAS HP Smart Array controller (P410, P420, P440, P840, etc.) and free 2.5-inch slots. For servers requiring specific caddies, make sure you have the appropriate brackets.
Q4: What is the performance difference between a 15K RPM drive and a 7200 RPM or 10K RPM drive?
15K RPM hard drives represent the highest performing segment of mechanical server drives. Compared to a standard 7200 RPM drive, a 15K drive offers about twice the IOPS (input/output operations per second), half the latency time, and significantly faster random access times. Compared to 10K RPM drives, the 15K drives offer about 30-40% additional performance in IOPS and latency. This high rotational speed translates to exceptional responsiveness for transactional databases, OLTP applications, virtual machines, and any workload requiring frequent data access. In a VMware or Hyper-V virtualization environment, 15K drives allow for more simultaneous virtual machines with better performance than slower drives.
Q5: Are the caddies or trays included with the hard drives in the lot?
The presence of HP Smart Carrier caddies with the drives depends on availability at the time of shipping. If the caddies or trays are not explicitly mentioned as included in the lot description, consider that the drives are sold bare without mounting support. Original HP caddies for ProLiant 2.5-inch servers can be purchased separately if needed. We recommend checking this point before purchase if you absolutely need the supports. Bare drives can be installed in compatible third-party caddies or HP caddies recovered from old drives. For any questions about the exact configuration of the available lot, contact us before purchase for precise confirmation of the contents.
Q6: How many hours of operation do these used hard drives have?
These HP hard drives have been removed from functioning professional environments, and the cumulative power-on hours vary depending on their previous use in the original infrastructure. The SMART information accessible via diagnostic utilities may indicate different operating times for each drive in the lot. In typical 24/7 server environments, the drives may have accumulated several thousand to tens of thousands of hours. However, HP enterprise drives are designed for extended life cycles with high MTBF. We test each drive to ensure its proper functioning and the absence of critical SMART errors. The 15K enterprise SAS drives are robust and can continue to operate efficiently for many years even with prior heavy use.
Q7: Can I mix these drives with other capacities in a RAID configuration?
Technically, you can mix drives of different capacities in certain RAID configurations, but it is generally not recommended to optimize performance and storage efficiency. In a RAID 5, 6, or 10 array with drives of different sizes, the usable capacity will be limited by the smallest drive, wasting the space of the larger drives. For this specific lot containing 2x146GB and 4x72GB, the best approach is to create two separate homogeneous RAID arrays: one for the two 146GB and another for the four 72GB. Alternatively, you can use the 146GB drives for critical data in RAID 1 mirror, and the four 72GB in RAID 5 or 10 for other applications. HP Smart Array controllers allow managing multiple distinct logical arrays on the same controller for maximum flexibility.
Q8: What is the power consumption of such a set of 15K drives in a server?
The 15,000 RPM SAS hard drives in 2.5-inch format offer an excellent balance between performance and energy efficiency. Each drive typically consumes between 6 and 8 watts in active operation, and 3 to 4 watts at rest. For the complete set of 6 drives, the total consumption at full load would be around 40 to 48 watts, which remains very reasonable for high-performance enterprise drives. Compared to 3.5-inch drives of the same speed, the 2.5-inch format offers a consumption reduction of about 30 to 40% while maintaining excellent performance. In a data center or server room, this energy efficiency translates into lower operating costs and less heat generation, thus reducing the cooling and air conditioning needs of server racks.
