HP introduces the next generation of SATA drives that are designed for the reliability and larger capacities demanded by today's entry server and external storage environments. The new SATA portfolio will now be categorized into two categories: Entry (ETY) and Midline (MDL) drives. HP SATA Entry drives are the lowest unit-cost solution for entry-level servers. HP SATA Midline drives are designed with economical reliability and performance for external storage, backups and archival applications. These high capacity drives provide the lowest $/GB to our customers. Both Entry and Midline SATA drives provide the best price advantage for non-mission critical applications with low workloads of 40% or less. HP SATA drives are available in both 3.5" and 2.5" form factors and ship with a standard one year warranty.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) provides a superior storage solution. With some storage requirements escalating and others becoming more complex, factors such as flexibility, performance, increased reliability, greater density, security, scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Today's organizations consist of different kinds of environments. Enterprise data centers must be online 24X7, fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously, and allow for constant growth and expansion while in operation. Other customer environments require high capacity storage and high data availability for low I/O environments. HP's portfolio of SAS drives meets all these demands.SAS Enterprise drives are intended for servers and storage solutions with mission critical and high work load intensive applications where 24/7 duty cycles are a requirement, such as database applications and high transaction level applications.
