HPE P53562-B21 — 1.8TB SAS 12G Mission Critical 10K SFF BC 512e Multi-Vendor HDD

What it is

P53562-B21 is an HPE enterprise hard drive option.
It’s a 1.8TB 2.5" SFF SAS drive, 12Gb/s, 10K RPM, rated Mission Critical, and it ships in an HPE Basic Carrier (BC) for hot-swap ProLiant/Synergy bays. “Multi-Vendor” means HPE may fulfill with equivalent approved drive manufacturers, but the specs and support level remain consistent.

Why buyers pick P53562-B21 (plain English)

• Reliable performance for always-on workloads
  Mission Critical SAS is built for 24×7 duty in production servers.

• Good balance of speed + capacity in SFF
  10K RPM SAS gives better latency/IOPS than nearline SATA while staying compact.

• Hot-swap ready
  Comes pre-mounted in the HPE carrier, so it slides straight into SFF ProLiant bays.

• Stable supply over time
  Multi-Vendor sourcing keeps the SKU available even when drive models rotate.
