HPE 2.40 TB 2.5" Internal SAS Hard Drive — 12Gb/s SAS, 10K RPM

The HPE 2.40 TB Hard Drive is an enterprise-grade, 2.5-inch internal SAS hard disk designed to deliver dense storage, dependable performance, and reliable operation in demanding data-center environments. With a capacity of 2.40 terabytes, this drive provides ample space for databases, virtualization, backups, media libraries, and scalable storage pools. Built for high-availability servers and storage arrays, it combines a robust 10,000 RPM spindle speed with a SAS (12Gb/s) interface to deliver fast sequential throughput and strong random I/O performance. This makes it an ideal choice for storage systems, RAID configurations, and enterprise workloads that require steady throughput, low latency, and long-term reliability. The drive's design emphasizes compatibility with enterprise controllers and hot-swap environments, enabling smoother maintenance cycles and minimized downtime. For data centers deploying bulk storage, the 6-pack option helps simplify procurement and spare part management while ensuring uniform performance across drives.

• High-capacity density: 2.40 TB of storage in a compact 2.5-inch form factor to maximize rack space and allow larger pools in today’s storage arrays.
• Enterprise-grade performance: 10,000 RPM spin speed delivers fast data access, improved IOPS for demanding applications, and quicker boot and load times for virtualized environments.
• Optimized for SAS ecosystems: 12 Gb/s SAS interface provides high-throughput, scalable connections to storage controllers and complex RAID configurations.
• Reliable, mission-critical design: Built to operate in multi-drive, 24/7 data-center environments with robust error recovery and consistent performance under heavy workloads.
• Bulk-ready purchasing: Available in a 6-pack option to streamline procurement, maintenance planning, and spare-part management for large-scale deployments.
