FAQ
What server models is this hard drive compatible with?
This Axiom hard drive is specifically validated for compatibility with HP ProLiant ML350 Gen10 (G10) servers. It's designed to meet the mechanical, electrical, and firmware requirements of this server platform, ensuring proper operation within HP's storage ecosystem. The drive maintains the exact specifications needed for seamless integration with the ML350 Gen10's drive bays and storage controllers.
What does 'hot-swappable' mean for this hard drive?
Hot-swappable means you can remove and replace this hard drive while the server remains powered on and operational. This capability allows IT administrators to perform drive maintenance, upgrades, or replacements without scheduling downtime or interrupting server services. The drive connects through a specially designed tray and backplane that supports live insertion and removal, making it ideal for high-availability environments where uptime is critical.
What is the storage capacity and interface of this drive?
This drive offers 1TB (terabyte) of storage capacity using traditional magnetic recording technology. It utilizes a SATA/600 interface, also referred to as 6Gb/s SATA, which provides a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 6 gigabits per second. This interface is commonly used in enterprise servers for secondary storage or capacity-optimized deployments where the balance of cost, capacity, and performance meets operational requirements.
What spindle speed does this hard drive operate at?
The drive operates at 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is a standard spindle speed for enterprise hard drives balancing performance and power consumption. This rotational speed provides consistent data access times suitable for server workloads, offering better performance than 5400 RPM drives while typically consuming less power and generating less heat than 10,000 or 15,000 RPM alternatives.
What form factor does this hard drive use?
This drive uses a 3.5" LFF (Large Form Factor) design, which is the standard physical size for capacity-optimized enterprise server drives. The 3.5" form factor provides the physical space needed for the platters that deliver 1TB of storage capacity. LFF drives are typically used in servers where storage density per drive is more important than the number of drives that can fit in a given chassis.
What warranty coverage does this hard drive include?
This Axiom hard drive comes with a 5-year limited warranty, providing long-term coverage for defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty period reflects the drive's intended use in enterprise environments where extended service life is expected. The 5-year coverage gives IT departments confidence in their storage investment and aligns with typical server refresh cycles in business environments.
