Expert Features ~ USED HDD Massive 8TB Capacity : Serious bulk storage for backups, archives, surveillance footage, media libraries, server data, and other capacity-heavy workloads. Enterprise-Class Platform : Built on an enterprise Seagate drive platform and supplied with HPE firmware for compatible server and storage environments. 7200RPM Performance : Faster rotational speed than typical low-power archival drives, delivering more responsive access for frequently used data. SATA 6Gb/s Connectivity : Uses a standard SATA interface for connection to compatible servers, workstations, storage systems, and desktop computers. 512e Sector Format : Advanced Format 512e maintains broad software compatibility while using modern internal sector organization. 256MB Cache : Large multisegmented cache supports smoother transfers and stronger performance during sustained enterprise workloads. Up To 249MB/s Transfer Rate : The original drive platform is rated for sustained transfers of up to 249MB/s under suitable operating conditions. Designed For 24×7 Operation : Engineered for continuous enterprise operation, making it better suited to always-on storage than ordinary consumer desktop drives. Advanced Write Caching : Internal NOR-flash-assisted write caching helps maintain data-transfer performance during demanding activity. PowerChoice Technology : Supports intelligent power-management functions that can reduce consumption during periods of lower activity. PowerBalance Technology : Allows supported systems to balance power use and performance according to workload requirements. Humidity Monitoring : An integrated humidity sensor helps the enterprise drive platform monitor challenging operating environments. 3.5-Inch LFF Form Factor : Fits systems equipped with a standard 3.5-inch SATA drive bay or compatible HPE Large Form Factor carrier. HPE Firmware Identity : Recognized as HPE model MB8000GFECR with HPE part number 819200-001 and HPE general part number 819205-004. Used Product Value : A cost-effective choice for high-capacity storage when brand-new enterprise-drive pricing is doing too much damage to the wallet. Compatibility Check Required : The system must support 3.5-inch SATA drives, 8TB capacity, and 512e formatting; an HPE caddy or tray may be required for supported hot-plug servers. Health Status Disclaimer : Because this is a used drive, power-on hours, SMART condition, bad-sector count, remaining life, and actual performance depend on the individual unit and should be tested before critical deployment.
