Frequently Asked Questions
What servers and storage arrays is the HP 518006-002 compatible with?
This 2.5-inch SAS drive is designed for HP ProLiant servers and compatible storage enclosures that accept SFF (Small Form Factor) SAS drives. Verify your server's drive bay size and SAS interface version before purchasing.
Does this drive come with a mounting tray or caddy?
The listing is for the bare drive only. You will need an HP-compatible 2.5-inch drive tray or caddy (sold separately) to install it in most HP server hot-swap bays.
What is the advantage of 10K RPM over standard 7.2K RPM drives?
The 10,000 RPM spindle speed reduces rotational latency, delivering faster read and write performance. This makes the 518006-002 better suited for transactional databases, active application data, and workloads that require higher IOPS than nearline 7.2K drives can provide.
Can this drive be used as a boot drive in a server?
Yes, the HP 518006-002 can serve as a boot drive in compatible HP servers, and its fast 10K RPM speed provides quick OS and application load times.
Is this drive new or refurbished?
Availability varies by seller. Check the specific listing details for condition — these drives are commonly sold as both new-old-stock and refurbished pulls from decommissioned servers.
