What is the maximum data transfer rate?

This drive supports a 6 Gb/sec interface for efficient data transfer within compatible server systems.

Does this drive come with a mounting bracket?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this 3.5-inch LFF drive, ensure your server backplane is configured for SATA connectivity. Given its 7200 RPM speed and physical dimensions, verify that your drive sled or carrier matches the HPE-specific LFF mounting requirements. During installation, avoid sudden shocks or impacts, as mechanical drives are sensitive to physical trauma. For long-term care, maintain server room environmental standards, particularly airflow and temperature control, to prevent premature wear. Always ensure your server's firmware is updated to the latest version to ensure optimal compatibility with the drive's reporting functions.
