Frequently Asked Questions

What HP servers is the EG0900FCVBL compatible with?

This 2.5-inch SFF SAS drive is designed for HP ProLiant servers and other enterprise systems that support 6Gbps SAS 2.5-inch drives. Check your server's compatibility list and backplane specifications before purchasing.

What does the 10K RPM speed offer over standard drives?

At 10,000 RPM, this drive delivers faster seek times and higher IOPS than 7200 RPM nearline drives, making it better suited for database queries, email servers, and virtualized workloads that require responsive storage.

What does "Renewed" mean for this hard drive?

The drive has been professionally inspected, tested, and verified to meet functional standards. It may have minor cosmetic wear but is confirmed to operate within original performance specifications.

What is the difference between 6G SAS and 12G SAS?

This drive uses a 6Gbps SAS interface, which is the previous generation standard. It is compatible with both 6Gbps and 12Gbps SAS backplanes, though it will operate at 6Gbps maximum throughput regardless of the controller speed.
