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 value for money. 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-inch) and LFF drives (Large Form Factor, 3.5-inch) 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 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.
