Have you been waiting for higher capacities on your 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) drives?  HP will launch the 300GB 3G SAS 10K SFF Enterprise Drive shortly.  With this drive you will get more for less:

- More storage capacity than any other SFF drive in the market

- 50% less power usage in 70% less space than 3.5-inch 15K drives.

This drive is an enterprise drive, ideally suited for those environments for servers and storage solutions running business critical, high I/O and heavy workload applications.  They provide the high performance and maximum reliability (about 3.5 times that of Entry Drives) required by

• Near 24/7 operating environments
• Large databases
• High-transaction applications such as e-mail, ERP, and CRM
• Real-time customer facing environments

Being the leader in the industry when it comes to small form factor SAS drives, HP is known to ship more small form factor drives than any other OEM.  With integrated HP technology, such as Systems Insight Manager, SmartStart and HP Flash utilities, you can take advantage of pre-failure alerts and avoid costly data loss and un-planned downtime.  HP also provides a pre-failure warranty allowing you to replace a degrading drive before it actually fails.  To further simplify support processes, HP drives are covered under the server CarePack.
