Are you in the market for a new hard drive? If so, you may be wondering if a SAS hard drive is right for you. This type of hard drive is becoming increasingly popular due to its many benefits. In this blog post, we'll give you an overview of SAS HDDs and list the top four SAS hard drives available at UltimateServers. .

What are SAS Hard Drives?

SAS hard drives are a type of computer storage device that uses a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface to connect to a computer. SAS drives are typically used in servers and other high-performance computing applications where data throughput and reliability are critical. Unlike SATA hard drives, which use a less expensive and less reliable parallel bus interface,

SAS hard drives offer a more robust and scalable solution for server applications. In addition, SAS HDDs can be used in conjunction with SATA hard drives in a hybrid storage configuration, which can provide the best of both worlds in terms of performance and capacity. Whether you're looking for a high-performance storage solution for your server or simply need more storage capacity for your growing data needs, HPE SAS hard drives are an excellent option to consider.

SAS is a clear choice for enterprise use and in circumstances where high speed and reliability are crucial due to its faster speeds and a higher level of resilience.

Speed and Performance of SAS Hard Drives

SAS drives are the best metric for determining speed. The data throughput determines the pace at which data may be read from or written to the hard disk. The 15K SAS hard drive operates at a speed of 180 IOPS, while the 10K SAS hard drive is slower, only operating at around 120 IOPS. SAS drives are also faster when it comes to data access time and rotational speed.

These drives have a shorter latency time, which is the delay between the time the storage device receives a request and the time it starts reading or writing data. SAS hard drives also have a higher rotational speed, which is the number of times per minute that the disks rotate. This results in SAS drives being able to read and write data faster than other types of drives.

1. Hard Drives from the HPE 1.2TB SAS

One of the most highly recommended hard drives is the HPE 1.2TB SAS. This 1.2TB SAS Hard Drive is 2.5 inches in size, with a 12G data transfer rate, a 10K spindle speed, Hot-Plug, and is secured with authentic HPE Digitally Signed Firmware. It also comes with a SmartDrive carrier tray. For HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers, use the HPE 872479-B21. A 3-Year UltimateServers warranty covers hard drives for all new, factory-sealed HPE servers.

2. HPE 2.4TB SAS

The HPE 2.4TB SAS is our list's next suggested HPE SAS drive. Hard drives for HPE server trays come with SmartCarrier trays that show the drive's current state. When the server is writing data to the drive, users are alerted by LED symbols on HPE SmartCarrier trays, such as the green, spinning activity ring that represents the operation. The "do not remove" indicator on HPE SmartCarrier trays illuminates to alert users when removing the drive might result in data loss.Good part numbers include the following: Q2R41A, P00441-001, 881457-B21 and 881507-001.

Features of HPE 2.4TB SAS.
