HPE 458941-B21 – 500GB 7.2K RPM SATA 3Gb/s LFF Hard Drive

Overview

HPE 458941-B21 is a 500GB enterprise midline SATA hard drive designed for HPE ProLiant servers and legacy storage systems. It provides basic enterprise storage performance for non-mission-critical workloads.

The drive operates at 7,200 RPM and uses a 3Gb/s SATA interface to deliver standard throughput suitable for entry-level server applications.

It is built in a 3.5-inch large form factor design and is typically used in non-hot-plug configurations depending on server chassis support.

It is commonly deployed in older-generation HPE server environments for bulk storage, archival data, and light application workloads.

It integrates into legacy HPE SATA-based infrastructure where cost-effective storage is required.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Used in entry-level enterprise servers for file storage, backup workloads, light database usage, and archival systems. Common in older HPE ProLiant platforms where SATA-based bulk storage is required. Also deployed in environments where performance demands are low but reliability is still needed.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility / Ecosystem
