Key Features of the Q2R41A HPE MSA2 2.4TB 12G 10K 2.5" SAS Hard Drive:

1. Capacity:

   • The 2.4TB capacity per drive provides a high storage density, allowing you to expand your MSA2 arraywithout occupying too much physical space in the storage enclosure.
   • Ideal for mid-to-high capacity storage needs, the 2.4TB size can accommodate data-intensive applicationswhile maintaining optimal performance.

2. Performance (10,000 RPM):

   • The 10K RPM speed is faster than the traditional 7,200 RPM SATA drives, offering improved input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput.
   • This speed is a great middle ground, providing a balance between the higher cost of 15K RPM SAS drivesand the lower cost of 7,200 RPM SATA drives.
   • For workloads requiring moderate to high read/write speeds (like virtualized environments, active databases, or enterprise applications), the 10K RPM will deliver improved performance compared to standard SATA drives.

3. 12Gb/s SAS Interface:

   • The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides a high-bandwidth connection, ensuring fast data transfer rates and supporting enterprise-level applications that require high availability and consistent performance.
   • SAS drives are known for their durability, reliability, and higher performance in comparison to SATA drives, making them ideal for environments that require 24/7 uptime and high availability.

4. 2.5" Form Factor:

   • The 2.5" form factor is compact and space-efficient, allowing for higher storage density in the HPE MSA2system. This is especially beneficial in environments where rack space is limited and maximizing storage capacity is important.
   • 2.5" drives allow you to fit more drives into your storage enclosure compared to 3.5" drives, enabling more flexible and scalable configurations.

Upgrading your HPE MSA2 Storage System with the Q2R41A HPE 2.4TB 12G 10K 2.5" SAS Hard Drive is a great way to increase storage capacity and improve the performance of your system. This drive offers a balanced combination of high capacity, reliable performance, and enterprise-grade durability, making it a solid choice for business-critical applications.
