    HPE AW556B 2TB 7.2K-RPM SATA 3Gb/s LFF Hard Drive

    The HPE AW556B (Spare Part: 601713-001) is a genuine 2TB SATA Midline hard drive built specifically for HPE P2000 G3 MSA storage environments where cost-per-gigabyte and dependable performance are essential. Spinning at 7,200 RPM with a 32MB cache buffer, it's engineered to support data storage, backup, and mid-range workload applications with a balanced approach to speed and economy. The 3Gb/s SATA interface provides a stable, high-throughput connection with a data transfer rate of 300 MBps, which is exactly what P2000 G3 MSA arrays and ProLiant servers are built around.

    What sets this drive apart is its Midline (MDL) design optimized for external storage, backups, and archival applications with workloads of 40% or less. The drive features a dual-port SATA interface for built-in redundancy and comes with an MSA-specific carrier pre-attached, making it ready for hot-plug installation in compatible P2000 G3 systems. The 32MB cache enhances read/write efficiency for demanding enterprise workloads.

    Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it carries original HPE firmware and a genuine HPE serial number. That matters when you're replacing a drive in a live MSA storage array — mismatched or unverified parts can cause RAID rebuild failures or degraded performance.
