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 (ETY) and Midline drives (MDL). 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 offer our customers the best price-performance ratio. Both entry-level and Midline SATA drives provide unmatched cost advantages for non-critical applications with a workload of up to 40%. HP SATA drives are available as SFF (Small Form Factor, 2.5 inches) and LFF drives (Large Form Factor, 3.5 inches) and come with a standard 1-year warranty.

Reliability for non-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 the following features:

Approximately twice the reliability of entry-level drives based on a workload of up to 40%.

Midline SATA hard drives provide customers with the best price-performance ratio 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 use (workload of up to 40%) of the drives reduces the risk of drive failures.
