HP introduces the next generation of SATA drives designed for the reliability and mass storage 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-inch and 2.5-inch form factors and ship with a standard one year warranty.
