HP AP844A Drive Enclosure

The HP AP844A is a drive enclosure module designed for the HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array. It provides the physical housing for additional hard drives to expand storage capacity within that specific array system. IT administrators managing compatible P2000 G3 installations use this module to scale their existing storage infrastructure.

Drive Enclosure form factor

The unit follows a Drive Enclosure form factor built to integrate directly into the P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array chassis. Its construction aligns with the array's modular architecture, allowing the enclosure to slot into the system without requiring separate rack mounting or external cabling. This mechanical compatibility ensures the drives connect to the array's backplane securely for daily operation.

Passive thermal management

The enclosure relies on the P2000 G3 array's integrated cooling system to maintain drive temperatures during normal use. It adds no active cooling components of its own, so operational noise and power draw are determined by the installed drives and the host array's fans. This design keeps the module thermally neutral within the larger appliance.
