HP 507283-001 146GB SAS 10K SFF HDD

Name: HP 507283-001 146GB SAS 10K SFF HDD
Brand: HP
SKU: 507283-001

Overview

The HP 507283-001 is a 146GB SAS hard disk drive built for enterprise server environments where performance and reliability take priority over raw capacity. Spinning at 10,000 RPM and connected via a 6Gbps SAS interface, this drive delivers the low-latency, high-IOPS performance that database servers, mail systems, and transactional applications demand. Its small form factor (2.5-inch) design allows it to fit into high-density server chassis, making it a standard component in HP ProLiant rack and blade servers.

While 146GB is a relatively small capacity by today's standards, this drive remains in demand as a replacement part for existing server deployments. Many organizations run RAID configurations with matched drives, and sourcing an exact HP OEM replacement is critical when a drive fails to maintain array consistency and performance. The 507283-001 fills that role, offering a proven and compatible drop-in replacement. For new builds, larger capacity SAS drives or SSDs would be more practical, but for sustaining established HP server infrastructure, this drive continues to be a practical and cost-effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What servers or systems is this drive compatible with?

The 507283-001 is an HP small form factor (SFF) 2.5-inch SAS drive designed for HP ProLiant servers and similar enterprise systems that accept SFF SAS hot-plug drives.

What is the spindle speed and why does it matter?

This drive spins at 10,000 RPM, which provides faster data access and lower latency compared to 7,200 RPM drives — important for transaction-heavy applications and database workloads.

What is the interface speed?

It uses a 6Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, providing high-throughput connectivity suited for enterprise storage environments.

Is 146GB still a practical capacity for server use?

While 146GB is modest by current standards, these drives are commonly used in RAID arrays where multiple drives combine for both capacity and redundancy, and remain popular as affordable replacements in existing server infrastructure.
