09.12.2008

HP has been pushing its smaller drives to resellers. Currently, 2.5-in. drives make up 80% of its shipments to enterprise-class server vendors, Dailey said, adding that adoption of the drives is about to take off in external storage systems that would be used in storage area networks and network-attached storage.

"We do see adoption of these in our MSA [mid-range disk arrays] next year," he said.
