HPE Business Critical 3.5" 20TB, 7200 RPM, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

This 20 TB hard drive is a large form factor (LFF) storage solution designed for server environments requiring substantial capacity. As part of the Business Critical series, it is specified for use in data center applications with demanding workloads and high availability needs. Its 7200 RPM spindle speed, combined with a SATA 6G interface, delivers consistent data transfer rates suitable for enterprise-level tasks. The drive's internal components are sealed within a helium-filled enclosure, a design that reduces internal friction to lower drive temperature and power consumption during operation.

Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, the drive is built to handle the constant data access demands of enterprise storage systems. It integrates end-to-end data protection and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring to maintain data integrity and proactively report on the drive's operational status. For data security, the drive features Instant Secure Erase (ISE) for the rapid and permanent deletion of stored information when decommissioning or repurposing the hardware. It is delivered in a Smart Carrier, which facilitates hot-swap capabilities and provides visual status indicators in compatible server infrastructures.
