HPE 600GB 15K SAS 3.5" Dual Port Enterprise HDD

The HPE AP860A is a 600 GB enterprise hard drive that pairs a 15,000 RPM spindle with a Serial Attached SCSI interface to keep data moving quickly and reliably. Built in a 3.5-inch form factor, it slots easily into HPE servers and storage enclosures, giving administrators a straightforward way to add performance-focused capacity to critical workloads.

Because the drive offers two independent SAS ports, it can connect to redundant controllers or separate data paths at the same time. This design helps maintain continuous operation if one path fails and also lets the system balance traffic for smoother throughput. In environments where every millisecond counts—such as online transaction processing, virtualization hosts, or large database servers—this kind of resilience can prevent costly interruptions.

The 15,000 RPM rotational speed reduces seek times and accelerates both random and sequential access, so applications see faster response when reading or writing frequently used data. Teams running ERP systems, analytics platforms, or business-critical file shares will notice shorter wait times and more consistent performance during peak demand.

HPE builds the drive to enterprise standards for reliability and integrates detailed firmware controls that protect data integrity across heavy, 24/7 duty cycles. Whether it is deployed in a data center rack, a high-availability cluster, or a local branch server that cannot afford downtime, the AP860A delivers predictable, durable service day after day.
