Server-Festplatte


Explanation:
I would add Server at the beginning, because there are several drive types available (depending on the system you use). See references here:

Festplattenlaufwerk or simply Festplatte


Explanation:
You asked for a drive, not a server drive; therefore, it is not a Server-Festplatte at all.

There are "Server-Festplatte"; they are of higher quality (usually SCSI type) than standard drives.

Example sentence(s):
  • Die Festplatte ist voll

neutral  Arne Krueger: Hello Mikael, yes, you could theoretically and practically use a standard desktop HDD. But why? There is a reason why there are server drives out there... See discussion entry.
