Description

HP 8TB 12G SAS 7.2K 3.5in 512e SC HDD 793703-B21

The HP 8TB 12G SAS 7.2K 3.5in 512e SC HDD 793703-B21 is a high-capacity enterprise hard drive engineered for reliability, scalability, and consistent performance in professional server and storage environments. Designed and certified by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, this drive is ideal for organizations that need dependable large-scale storage with full compatibility across supported HPE systems.

Enterprise-Class Capacity for Growing Data

With 8TB of usable capacity, this hard drive is built to support data growth in modern IT infrastructures. It is well suited for file servers, backup repositories, archival storage, and shared storage pools where capacity and stability are more important than extreme IOPS.

12G SAS Interface for Data Center Reliability

The 12Gb/s SAS interface delivers higher reliability, better error handling, and consistent throughput compared to SATA-based drives. Combined with a 7.2K RPM spindle speed, it provides balanced performance for multi-user and multi-application environments.

3.5-Inch LFF Design for Efficient Scaling

The Large Form Factor (3.5-inch) design allows data centers to maximize terabytes per drive bay. This helps reduce the number of drives required, simplifying storage architecture and lowering operational complexity.

512e Advanced Format Compatibility

This drive uses 512e (512-byte emulation) technology, ensuring broad compatibility with modern operating systems and applications while benefiting from advanced format efficiencies. This makes deployment smoother in mixed or legacy environments.

Optimized for HPE Smart Carrier Systems

As an HPE Smart Carrier (SC) hard drive, this model supports enhanced drive status monitoring and seamless integration with HPE management tools. It is firmware-tested to ensure predictable behavior, system stability, and long-term reliability.

Built for Continuous Operation

Designed for enterprise workloads, this drive is engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments. It supports consistent performance and durability required for business-critical storage systems.
