HP SATA drives are designed to meet the reliability and mass storage needs of modern entry-level servers and external storage environments. The SATA portfolio can be divided into two categories: entry-level and midline drives. HP entry-level SATA drives are the most cost-effective solution for entry-level servers. HP SATA midline drives are designed with economic reliability and performance in mind for external storage, backup, and archiving applications. These high-capacity drives provide our customers with the best value for their money. Both entry-level and midline SATA drives offer unmatched price advantages for non-mission-critical applications with a workload of up to 40%. HP SATA drives are available as SFF (Small Form Factor, 2.5 inches) and LFF (Large Form Factor, 3.5 inches) drives and come with a standard 1-year warranty.

• Reliability for non-mission-critical entry-level server environments, suitable for a workload of up to 40%
• Entry-level SATA drives are available at the lowest acquisition costs and include features such as:
• Approximately twice the reliability of entry-level drives based on a workload of up to 40%
• Midline SATA hard drives offer customers the best value for money and more features in the form of an entry-level SATA hard drive.
• Due to the attractively low acquisition costs and high capacity, it is important to know the suitable applications for SATA hard drives. Proper usage (workload up to 40%) of the drives reduces the risk of drive failures.
