HP 146GB 2.5'' SAS-2 (6Gb/s) server drive (652605B21)

These discs perform exceptionally well. They're very fast, very quiet, and low power consumption.

Quality of the drive appears to be very good. Was able to plug and play in a RAID 5 environment with no issues. So far it has held up nicely and I would not hesitate to order more if the need arises. I would personally like to have 5 or 6 more on hand but i was out voted on that one. Time will tell. A very good deal.

I used those on a HP ProLiant DL380 G7 and it works really well and I am very happy to buy those Hard drive.

Excellent condition on 2 of the 3 I ordered. All 3 were fully reliable. I upgraded the firmware without issue on them all and, get this, moved them into new Smart Carriers and plugged them into a Gen9 ProLiant (DL360) with a P440. Everything works perfectly with no warning lights (after upgrading firmware). The only reason I didn't include the 3rd drive as being in excellent condition was just because of the age of the drive. When I pulled the Smart Array diagnostic info it showed running time of 2 of the drives as only a few hundred hours uptime. That's like a week or two of running, but the 3rd was a hair under 5 years of constant uptime. That doesn't leave me with too much left, but I ordered the 3 as a RAID 1 + spare setup. Instead I did a RAID 1 for all three so there's no rebuild time when one fails. I expect I'll be getting my money's worth from these.

Works perfectly. The price is 1/20 HPE's list price for the same brand new product.
