HPE StoreEasy 4.80 TB SAS 2.5" Internal Hard Drive Bundle (4-Pack)

The HPE StoreEasy 4.80 TB SAS 2.5" Internal Hard Drive bundle is a purpose-built, enterprise-grade storage solution designed to maximize reliability and capacity in NAS and storage arrays. This 4-pack of 4.80 TB SAS drives delivers dense, scalable storage that meets the demanding needs of businesses, from backups and archives to media libraries and data-intensive applications. Built for continuous operation in HPE StoreEasy environments and compatible enclosures, these drives combine high capacity with robust endurance, helping you protect critical data while simplifying expansion and maintenance. Whether you are upgrading an existing store, expanding a growing archive, or building out a resilient backup solution, this bundle provides the performance and reliability required to keep data accessible around the clock.

• Massive capacity in a compact 2.5" form factor: Each drive offers 4.80 TB of storage, and when purchased as a 4-pack you gain a total of 19.20 TB of storage capacity. The 2.5" form factor enables higher density deployments in crowded data-center racks and dense NAS enclosures, delivering room to store millions of photos, hundreds of hours of 4K video, or substantial business data—all in a compact footprint.
• Enterprise-class reliability for nonstop workloads: Engineered for 24/7 operation, these SAS drives are built to deliver consistent performance under heavy workloads. Designed with endurance and data integrity in mind, they help minimize unscheduled downtime and support long, uninterrupted operation in store-ready NAS environments, backups, and archival systems.
• SAS interface for fast, scalable data transfer: Serial Attached SCSI provides higher throughput and lower latency than typical consumer drives, enabling quicker backups, faster restores, and smoother streaming of large media libraries. The SAS interface supports scalable performance as your data grows, making it ideal for enterprise storage arrays and mission-critical workloads.
• Designed for dense deployments and easy maintenance: The internal 2.5" drives are optimized for multi-drive configurations in HPE StoreEasy storage systems and other SAS-enabled enclosures. They support seamless expansion, straightforward drive replacement, and efficient hot-swapping (in compatible chassis), helping you manage storage with minimal downtime and disruption.
• Energy-efficient design with strong support: Built to balance performance with low power consumption per gigabyte, these drives help reduce operating costs in data centers and office environments. The bundle includes manufacturer warranty and access to HPE support services, ensuring you have backing for continued reliability and serviceability.

How to install HPE StoreEasy 4.80 TB Hard Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS

Follow these general steps to install the HPE StoreEasy 4.80 TB SAS drives in compatible systems. Always refer to your specific enclosure or chassis manual for model-specific instructions and hot-swap capabilities.

• Prepare the system: Power down the storage appliance or confirm hot-swap availability if your chassis supports live replacement. Ensure you have a clean, static-free workspace and proper ESD protection before handling drives.
• Identify the drive bays: Locate the available 2.5" SAS drive bays or hot-swap trays compatible with your HPE StoreEasy enclosure. Remove any protective covers or trays if required by your chassis.
• Insert the drive into the tray or sled: Align the 2.5" drive with the tray, ensuring connectors are facing the backplane. Secure the drive in the tray per the chassis’s guidelines, typically with screws or a captive mechanism.
• Slide the drive into the backplane: Gently insert the tray into the designated drive bay until you feel a positive seating and the backplane connectors engage. If hot-swap is supported, you can push the tray fully in until it locks in place.
• Power up and verify: Restore power to the system if you powered down. Use the management software or BIOS/firmware utility to verify the drive is detected and healthy. Run any available diagnostics to ensure proper operation and readiness for use in your storage pool.
• Configure in the storage pool: After the drive is recognized, add it to your existing storage pool or create a new one as required. Follow your system’s guidelines for RAID, pooling, or JBOD configurations to optimize performance and redundancy.
• Monitor and maintain: Regularly monitor drive health, S.M.A.R.T. attributes, and overall storage utilization. Establish a proactive maintenance plan to replace aging drives before failures impact data availability.
