HPE P04693-B21 300GB 15K-RPM SAS 12Gb/s LFF Hard Drive
The HPE P04693-B21 is a genuine 300GB SAS Mission Critical hard drive built for enterprise storage environments where performance, uptime, and data integrity are absolutely critical. Spinning at an industry-leading 15,000 RPM with a 3.4ms average seek time, it's engineered to deliver maximum IOPS and minimal latency for transaction processing, database workloads, and other mission-critical deployments where every millisecond matters. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides the fastest possible throughput with a data transfer rate of 1.2 GBps, ensuring your most demanding applications never wait for storage.
What sets this drive apart is its Mission Critical (MC) classification — HPE's highest tier of enterprise storage designed for 24/7 operation with rigorous testing backed by over 3.35 million hours of the industry's most rigorous qualification program. The drive features Digitally Signed (DS) firmware, which prevents unauthorized access and protects against malicious attacks, ensuring a secure foundation for your data. It comes with an HPE Smart Carrier Converter (SCC) pre-attached (as pictured), featuring self-describing icons that take the guesswork out of a drive's status, and a "Do-Not-Remove" button to prevent data loss from human error. The drive is hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced without shutting down the system — minimizing downtime during maintenance.
Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it carries original HPE firmware and a genuine HPE security sticker. That matters when you're replacing a drive in a live production server — mismatched or unverified parts can cause RAID rebuild failures, performance degradation, or even system crashes.
