Internal Hard Drive HPE 2.4 TB 2.5 inch SAS Q2R41A

The HPE 2.4 TB 2.5" SAS internal hard drive delivers 2.4 TB of formatted storage in a compact 2.5-inch form factor and spins at 10,000 RPM. Designed for enterprise-class storage arrays and servers, this SAS drive provides a balance of capacity, performance and reliability for business-critical workloads that require fast sequential and random access to data.

Advantages

This 2.5" SAS hard drive offers high rotational speed and a large usable capacity in a small footprint, enabling increased storage density in server bays and blade systems. The SAS interface supports sustained throughput and low-latency communication with enterprise controllers, while the 10,000 RPM spindle speed improves IOPS for mixed transactional and sequential workloads. The drive is engineered for continuous operation and is suitable for RAID configurations and hot-swap environments.

Suitable for

• Database servers and OLTP systems requiring stable random I/O performance
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure with moderate to high I/O demands
• Enterprise storage arrays and RAID groups where space efficiency is important
• Backup and archival tiers that benefit from reliable, high-speed spinning media

Key specifications

• Capacity: 2.4 TB (2400 GB)
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM
• Designed for enterprise/server use and hot-swap compatibility

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5" SAS bay following your server or storage system manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the host controller supports SAS devices at the required speed and configure RAID or logical volumes as needed for redundancy and performance. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive within the operating system or storage management software, then integrate it into existing storage pools or volumes.

Recommendations

Use this drive in systems with active cooling and within manufacturer-specified temperature and vibration limits. For critical data, deploy in redundant RAID configurations and maintain regular backups. Monitor drive health with S.M.A.R.T. and storage management tools to detect potential issues early.
