For sale is this fully functional HP MM1000FBFVR 1TB 7.2K 730706-001 Caddy SAS SFF Enterprise Hard Drive.

The HP MM1000FBFVR is a 1TB, 6G SAS, 7,200 RPM, 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) Dual Port Midline Hot-Plug Hard Disk Drive, presented here in the 730706-001 caddy configuration designed for use in HP MSA SAN storage arrays and ProLiant server environments. Built on the proven Seagate ST91000640SS OEM platform, this drive delivers reliable sequential and random access performance suited to enterprise workloads that demand consistent throughput at an economical cost per gigabyte. The SAS 6Gb/s dual-port interface provides redundant data paths, maximising availability in multi-controller MSA SAN configurations and reducing the risk of single points of failure in production storage environments. With a 7,200 RPM spindle speed and an average seek time of 8.2ms, this midline drive strikes an effective balance between performance and longevity for near-line storage, backup targets, archival repositories, and secondary storage tiers. Hot-plug capability allows the drive to be inserted or removed from a live system without powering down, minimising planned maintenance windows. The drive is 512 bytes-per-sector formatted, RoHS compliant, and operates across a standard enterprise temperature range. The 730706-001 MSA caddy/tray is matched to HP MSA and StorageWorks enclosures, ensuring correct mechanical fitment, backplane connectivity, and drive recognition. This used unit has been sourced from enterprise infrastructure and is offered for integration into compatible HP storage environments.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has long set the benchmark for enterprise storage reliability, and the MM1000FBFVR midline SAS hard drive reflects that engineering heritage. Designed for organisations that require dependable, high-capacity storage without the premium cost of mission-critical performance drives, HP's Midline SAS portfolio delivers the endurance and connectivity features that modern data centres demand. Dual-port SAS architecture ensures that storage remains accessible even in the event of a path failure, making this drive a trusted choice for MSA SAN deployments where availability is paramount. Hot-plug capability empowers storage administrators to maintain and expand capacity without scheduling disruptive downtime, preserving operational continuity across the enterprise. With seamless integration into HP's MSA and ProLiant ecosystems — and the assurance of HP's rigorous qualification and compatibility testing — this drive represents a proven, cost-efficient solution for near-line storage, data protection workflows, and capacity-tier expansion in demanding enterprise environments.
