Drive Quality

Today's entry-level servers and external storage solutions are seeing an increase in maximum storage capacity and demand for increased levels of drive quality. In the often-changing entry-level server and storage environment, storage has become a critical component of the information system, significantly defining both the systems reliability. This is why HPE drives undergo an intense qualification process that eliminates firmware and O/S incompatibilities. All drives are proven to perform in the HPE ProLiant and Modular Smart Array (MSA) storage systems for which they were designed.

Performance

Suitable for an entry-level, external storage enclosures and server environments are selected through the Hewlett Packard Enterprise qualification process. HPE drives are proven to be reliable in the ProLiant server and MSA storage environment.

Native Command Queuing

Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk drives by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and write commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back-and-forth on the drive's heads, resulting in increased performance for workloads where multiple simultaneous read/write requests are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage-type applications. Without NCQ the drive has to process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled, it must be supported and turned on in the controller and in the hard drive itself.

Pre-Failure Alert

When used in conjunction with a SMART Array Controller and Systems Insight Manager, the SMART capable firmware in HPE hard drives enables extensive fault prediction capabilities. If potential problems develop in one of the drives, the Smart Array Controller, Systems Insight Manager and/or SMART hard disk drive lets you know in advance so you can have the drive replaced, before it fails, under warranty.
